Medusa Reborn as X2

We changed the name to reflect the many changes we have made to this most unusual filter. We also added a second size to this line up, the 6.0 model for ponds up to 20,000 gal. The tank and internals new design all reflect a filter that has advanced to the point it was only right to give it a new name. The X2 provides even greater flows with less restriction than the Medusa.

The X2 solves the age-old problem of how to filter a large pond while only using one filter.

The problem:

Pond is 20 to 25 thousand gallons. You want to turn it over about every 2 hours. A 1/4 hp pump will put out about 5000 gallons an hour. This means you need two filter systems to accomplish this and stay with energy-efficient pumps or a giant pool pump moving 10,000 gallons an hour and costing you an arm and a leg in energy costs.

The Solution:

• AlphaONEX2 or AquaBeadX2
  With this filter you can run two 1/4 hp or two 1/3 hp pumps and only pull about 5 amps total with the 1/4 hp pumps or 7.6 amps total with the two 1/3 hp pumps.
• The X2 is designed in such a way that all valves and internals of the filter are double that of a regular filter. At no time does each pump's water pathway get smaller than a 2" opening. Everything is double on this filter so that we maximize the flow potential of each pump. Everything is double on this filter except the price, you'll spend less money on 1 X2 than installing 2 individual filters.
• The X2 is designed with the same integrity as the AquaBead and AlphaONE filters. Designed to maximize the flow and efficiency of today's modern koi pond pumps.
  We remain committed to providing the most energy-conscious filtration products in the industry.
  

  Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  Q1: What does the X2 Filter do differently compared to other pond filters?
  A: The X2 Filter solves the challenge of filtering large ponds with one filter system. It maximizes flow and efficiency by using twice the internal capacity and provides greater flow with less restriction than traditional filters, all while minimizing energy use.

  Q2: How does the X2 filter save on energy costs?
  A: The X2 Filter allows you to use two smaller pumps (1/4 hp or 1/3 hp) instead of a large, high-energy pump. This design reduces the total amperage to 5 amps (with 1/4 hp pumps) or 7.6 amps (with 1/3 hp pumps), helping you save on energy costs while still providing powerful filtration.

  Q3: Can I use the X2 Filter for a pond larger than 25,000 gallons?
  A: The X2 Filter is designed for ponds up to 25,000 gallons. For larger ponds, you may need to consider additional or larger systems. However, the X2 is highly efficient for ponds within the 20,000 to 25,000-gallon range.

  Q4: What makes the X2 Filter more cost-effective than using two individual filters?
  A: With the X2 Filter, you only need one system to achieve the same filtration power as two individual filters. The double-sized internals and efficient pump use make it more affordable while maintaining high performance.

  Q5: Is the X2 Filter easy to install?
  A: Yes, the X2 Filter is designed for easy installation, and it integrates well with modern koi pond pumps. Its efficient design and single-filter setup save you time and effort during installation.
