AquaBead LH Series: 

• The AquaBead LH series of filters are also available as complete pond filtration systems that are preplumbed with the AquaBead LH filter, Pump and UV all on Black equipment pads ready to set up and go when you get them. For more info on our complete systems click here
• What do you do when you think you have designed the most perfect filter in the pond industry designed to have little restriction? You think harder and come up with an LH version. LH=Lower Head. Why is the lowest head or least restrictive filter desirable? It allows you to move more water with less electricity. This allows you to use a smaller pump to get the job done. With electrical rates on the rise throughout the world, it is only smart to think in this direction. The use of a smaller pump can save you hundreds of dollars a year.
• With years of thought and testing, we are proud to release the filter that already has people talking. As one dealer put it, "Do you realize what you have done? You have just made the top mount multiport valve filters obsolete."
• Since most of the restriction from a pressurized filter comes from the multiport valve, we reengineered things to allow us to only use the multiport valve when you are going to backwash. You bypass the multiport when you are in the regular filtration mode.
• Water only goes through the multiport valve when backwashing. Simply move 2 - 2 way type valves and the water flows through the multiport valve to allow for backwashing, rinse, etc. Then move the 2 way valves back to their original position and water flows through the filter as normal but unrestricted. Water enters the lower port and exits the upper port going back to the pond.
• Why is all of this important? It allows you to run a smaller, more energy-efficient pump to do the same job. This is good for the environment and your pocketbook.
• The AquaBead LH Filter is available in a wide variety of sizes for every pond. If you are looking for a filter that has the lowest restriction of any filter made, this is it. You can use the most energy-efficient pump on this filter and receive maximum flows with very little head pressure. This saves you at the electric meter and in the wallet. Truly an EcoFriendly filter for our modern-day ponds.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: What does “LH” stand for in AquaBead LH Series?
A: The “LH” stands for Lower Head, which refers to the filter’s minimal restriction design. This allows for more water movement with less energy consumption.

Q2: How does the AquaBead LH filter improve energy efficiency?
A: The AquaBead LH filter allows you to use a smaller, more energy-efficient pump due to its low-restriction design. This results in lower electricity usage while providing maximum filtration performance.

Q3: How does the multiport valve in the AquaBead LH work?
A: The multiport valve is used only during backwashing. During regular filtration, two 2-way valves bypass the multiport valve, allowing the water to flow freely through the filter without any restriction. This increases efficiency and saves energy.

Q4: What size pond is the AquaBead LH filter suitable for?
A: The AquaBead LH Series is available in a variety of sizes, making it suitable for ponds of all sizes. From small backyard ponds to large koi ponds, there's an AquaBead LH model that fits your needs.

Q5: How does the AquaBead LH filter compare to traditional bead filters?
A: The AquaBead LH filter is designed with lower restriction, making it far more energy-efficient than traditional bead filters. This unique design allows it to operate at maximum flow rates while using smaller, energy-efficient pumps.
