How do BubbleBeads differ from other brands?
BubbleBead filters developed from the earliest University research into bead filtration in the 1970s and incorporate many features that are not found in other brands. – The unique necked design ensures that the beads are thoroughly shaken during the backwash process, and any clumps broken up. – The system of one-way valves draws in a powerful stream of airbubbles during the backwash and directs these bubbles through the washing ‘throat’ for maximum contact with the beads. This gives a highly effective bead wash with no need for a separate air blower, and without the risk of over cleaning the beads. – Waste naturally collects at the bottom of the filter during the backwash, and BubbleBeads draw this dirty water directly through the waste outlet fitted in the base of the filter, rather than trying to suck it up from mid or top mounted outlets. This screened base outlet also makes it easy to drain the filter whilst medicating the pool – the filter organisms will survive well in the moist
