The Ultima II is specifically engineered to meet the environmental demands of ponds. The lightweight media is designed for very high flow rates. There is a patent pending on the tubular media which has low head loss and a very high biofilm surface. The “Y” shape on the inside and wings on the outside affords a protective surface under backwashing and the patent pending backwash system will keep the media from clogging.
ULTIMA II 2000 bead filter for Koi ponds up to 2000 gallons.
No channeling * Minutes to backwash * Can handle heavy fish loads * Seeded with bacteria * Filter can be buried * Unique tubular design protects bacteria while dislodging unwanted debris.
When choosing a new pump, it is important to look at all factors. Obviously, we first want to make sure the pump will provide the desired flow. Then we look at purchase price, and warranty. An often overlooked factor is the cost of operating the pump.
