AST Endurance 2000 Bead Filter

AST Endurance Bead Filters

The AST Endurance Bead Filter series represents the next generation of pond filtration, utilizing patented PolyGeyser® technology to provide a "set it and forget it" solution for water clarity. Designed by Aquaculture Systems Technologies, these filters are uniquely engineered to perform both mechanical solids removal and biological filtration in a single, compact vessel. The standout feature of the Endurance series is its ability to backwash automatically using pneumatic (air) pressure. This eliminates the need for complex multi-port valves, noisy air blowers, or the manual labor typically associated with cleaning traditional bead filters.

Perfect for koi ponds, water gardens, and aquaponic systems, the Endurance series is recognized as the lowest water-loss filter in the industry. By concentrating sludge in a specialized chamber, the filter minimizes the amount of water discharged during cleaning cycles, making it an eco-friendly and cost-effective choice. With no internal moving parts and permanent bead media that never needs replacing, the AST Endurance filter is built for decades of reliable, trouble-free service.

Features:

• Automatic Pneumatic Backwash: Uses air to clean the filter media automatically, ensuring the filter operates for extended periods without intervention.

• Blower-Free Design: Operates without the need for expensive, high-maintenance air blowers for the cleaning cycle.

• Superior Water Clarity: Combines efficient solids capturing with a massive surface area for beneficial bacteria to thrive.

• Industry-Leading Efficiency: Boasts the lowest water loss during backwash—up to 95% less water waste than competing filters.

• Low Energy Consumption: Designed with low back-pressure in mind, allowing the use of energy-efficient, low-wattage pumps.

• Permanent Media: Comes pre-filled with AST Enhanced Beads that provide high-performance filtration and never require replacement.

• Simple & Robust: No internal moving parts or complex electronics inside the tank to wear out or fail.
