Get Maximum Flow From the GCTek AquaBead LH Pond Filter
Tired of a filter that chokes your pump and drives up your energy bill? Your pond deserves better. This bead filter takes on the biggest flow robber of any system, the multiport valve, by bypassing it entirely during normal filtration. The result is the lowest restriction you will find, so you can pair it with an energy efficient pump and still enjoy powerful, clean water movement with barely any head pressure.
-
Low restriction design: the multiport valve bypasses out of the water path during normal filtration, only engaging for backwashing.
-
Energy savings: pair it with an energy efficient pump and still get maximum flows without extra power draw.
-
Easy plumbing: arrives complete with 2" union fittings for simple installation and servicing.
-
Sizes available: five models covering ponds from 2,500 to 25,000 gallons, with flows from 3,000 to 10,800 GPH.
A Smarter Multiport Bypass Built Into the GCTek AquaBead LH Bead Filter
Most filters lose flow because water is forced through the multiport valve every single time. This design flips that logic.
-
Bypass during filtration: the multiport valve stays out of the water path in normal filtration mode, cutting restriction dramatically.
-
Valve only when needed: the multiport engages solely for backwashing, when you actually want it.
-
Same electricity, more flow: you gain higher flows without asking your pump to draw any more power than usual.
If you want the filter with the lowest restriction of any filter made, this is it.
Pair an Efficient Pump With the GCTek AquaBead LH Pressure Filter
Low head pressure changes what your pump has to do. Because water flows so freely, you can run the most energy efficient pump on this filter and still receive maximum flows. Less strain on the pump means you keep your pond crystal clear while keeping running costs down.
Ready to Plumb Right Out of the Box With the GCTek AquaBead LH Filter System
No hunting for extra parts before you can get water moving. Every unit arrives complete with 2" union fittings, sized for maximum flow. The union connections make installation and future servicing simple, so you spend less time wrestling with plumbing and more time enjoying your pond.
