Description
AST Endurance 4000 Bead Pond Kit
These prefabricated, complete filtration systems are ready to use out of the box.
The Endurance 4000 is the larger of our two Endurance products with a maximum flow rate of 25gpm.
Features:
- Automatic pneumatic backwash enabling the filter to operate for extended periods of time without intervention, saving time and labor
- Lowest water loss filter in the industry, less than 5% of traditional filters
- Large sludge storage chamber that concentrates the sludge minimizing servicing needs
- Superior solids removal and biofiltration in one filter, delivering crystal clear water
- Low profile design allows for “airlift” water pumping, minimizing energy costs
- Elegant, simple design with no moving internal parts and no replacement media ever required, guaranteeing trouble free operation
- Units arrive pre-filled with bead media which never needs replaced
Kit Includes:
- Endurance 4000 PolyGeyser Bead Filter
- 1 3/4 Cubit Feet of AST Enhanced Beads
- Adjustable Flowmeter for Backwash Interval Control
- Air Fittings, Check Valves, Tubing and Brackets
- Linear Air Pump, 40 LPM
- 1-15 PSI Pressure Gauge
- 80 W UV Sterilizer Water Pump (2000 GPH) with Strainer Basket
- Mounting Skid with all components professionally pre-plumbed
Optional Add-Ons:
- Optional automatic sludge discharge making the filter virtually maintenance free
- Optional UV light add-on to assure algae control even under warm water conditions
Aquaponics Applications:
They also work beautifully for aquaponics applications.
The Endurance filters separate out solids in the water and store them in a large sludge chamber. The integrated chamber allows partial mineralization for plant nutrients. This nutrient rich water can then be automatically released to plant grow beds as part of the backwash process. The amount of water and delivery frequency can be easily adjusted to keep your nitrate levels ideal for fruiting or green growth.
Endurance Operation: Standard Configuration:
These exceptional filters backwash automatically, several times a day. The user does not need to turn off the pump or close any valves during the backwash sequence. The filter does not require an electric timer. The backwash cycle is regulated by the air that is injected into the charge chamber. The filters clean and recycle the dirty water produced in backwashing every two to three hours. Sludge is only removed once or twice a week.
