Pond Filtration Systems » AlphaONE

AlphaONE

The AlphaONE system employs a mixed media design. The media comes in two shapes mixed together and as the media nests together in its pack, tremendous amounts of solids can be trapped without going anaerobic. The solids are easily dispersed when the media agitator is engaged to break up the pack and release the solids out to backwash.

Each shape has specially designed ridges around the outside to promote beneficial bacterial growth, but not so long as to cause the media to interlock. Interlocking media, used on some filters, does not come apart when agitated. The shorter, more optimal ridge feature was carefully designed and tested to ensure that the filter would function perfectly in the long run.

The AlphaONE internals are designed slightly differently than the AquaBead filters. This new design provides maximum flow with the least maintenance and the lowest possible head loss of any filter of its type. With the internals using larger slotted openings on the AlphaONE, there is no need for a sludge drain.

The key to successful Koi Keeping is creating a optimum environment for your Koi. One of the key elements is proper filtration.

The filter is of utmost importance in keeping your Koi pond crystal-clear and free of chemical pollutants. Our line of filters are designed to meet a wide range of needs, for both large and small ponds.

Mechanical Filtration: Refers to the physical removal of debris from water by materials that trap large and small particles. Koi ponds traditionally use some form of solids separation, either passive (vortex chambers) or mechanical (micron-screen/static K1 separators).

Biological Filtration: This is where your pond filter provides a home for beneficial bacteria to grow on special media. These bacteria remove harmful pollutants from pond water. Known as the "Biological Filter" these beneficial bacteria convert poisonous compounds such as ammonia and nitrite, into less toxic nitrate. The end by-product, nitrate, is used as a food source by aquatic plants. This continuous process is called the nitrogen cycle.

It is?important to think of your filtration in terms of a "system", where components are carefully selected and matched to provide optimum performance, ease of maintenance, and cost effectiveness (both initial and long term operating costs). These components must perform 3 basic functions;

  • Removal of waste products from the pond
  • Separation of solid waste
  • Conversion of soluble waste

Salt Lake Koi & Pond Company offers a range of proven and effective systems that will provide enduring and effective filtration solutions. We have extensive experience in the design of filtration systems, and offer free design services. Please feel free to contact us should you require any guidance with your project.
