GCTek PoliGlassBead Filter XStream Pond Polishing Dual Media

Crystal Clear Water With the GCTek PoliGlassBead Filter

Want water so clean you can read a coin sitting at the bottom of a 6 ft deep pond? If your current setup leaves the water slightly cloudy no matter what you try, this polishing filter is built for exactly that finishing touch. It traps the tiny particles other filters miss, giving you the kind of clarity that makes your pond look almost invisible.

• Dual-Media Filtration: Combines Black AlphaBio2 Media and real PoliGlassBeads to catch both coarse and fine particles.
• Water Clarity: Delivers a finishing polish so clean you can see a coin at 6 ft of depth.
• Use Type: A polishing filter meant to run alongside your main filtration, not as a stand-alone unit.
• Placement: Works best plumbed as the last stage in your filtration system.
• Flexible Control: Pair with a 3-way valve to divert water for on-demand polishing, or run it continuously.
• Sizing Options: Available in 5K, 10K, 17K, and 30K models to match ponds up to 5,000, 10,000, 17,000, or 30,000 gallons.

Two Types of Media Working Together in the GCTek PoliGlassBead Pond Filter

What sets this filter apart from other polishing filters is its dual-media design. Instead of relying on one filtering layer, it stacks two distinct media types to catch particles at different sizes.

• Black AlphaBio2 Media: Water first passes down through this top layer, where larger particles are separated and held in place.
• PoliGlassBeads: A thick layer of real glass beads sits below, capturing the finer particles that make it past the first stage.

The result is a two-stage cleaning action that pulls out both coarse and fine debris, delivering that deep, polished clarity.

How the GCTek PoliGlassBead XStream Fits Into Your System

This is a finishing filter, not a stand-alone one. It works best as the final piece in your filtration setup, adding the extra polish after your main filters have done their job.

You have flexibility in how you run it:

• Run water through it continuously if you want constant polishing.
• Plumb it as the last item in your filtration system for best results.
• Add a 3-way valve so you can easily divert water to the glass beads whenever you want a super polish.

That valve setup gives you control on demand, so you polish only when you need to.

Sized Right for Your Pond With the GCTek PoliGlassBead Polishing Filter

No matter the volume of your water garden, there is a model to match. Pick the size based on your total pond capacity:

• 5K: ponds up to 5,000 gal
• 10K: ponds up to 10,000 gal
• 17K: ponds up to 17,000 gal
• 30K: ponds up to 30,000 gal

Matching the filter to your pond size keeps the polishing action working at its best.
