While the Model 1.1 is an excellent choice for a bead filtration system within a given price range, the Model 1.1-B far exceeds the performance of the standard 1.1 at a slightly higher initial cost. Carefully compare both filters performance data. The good news is that after April 1st, 2001 we will fit the Standard 1.1 with the necessary bulkheads for a later simple backyard conversion to the Model 1.1-B. So if your budget can't go the 1.1-B at first.You can perform the conversion yourself with a screwdriver and some PVC cement. We are making this improvement to better accomodate our customers with great flexibility in upgrading to a Dynamax blower system.

Koi can be very hard on your plants because of their persistent rooting habits. They will root around looking for insects and larvae to feed on. Any valuable plants should be planted in tubs, which are then placed in the pond.
