Bead Filters » AlphaOne » AlphaOne LH (Lower Head)

Even though the AlphaONE is regarded as the one of the least restrictive filters on the market we have found a way to improve even more. Most of the restriction with a pressurized system comes from the Multiport valve. On the AlphaONE LH the water bypasses the Multiport valve on the regular filtration mode and only travels through the Multiport valve on the “Backwash” mode thus giving you the least restrictive filter available. On the AlphaONE LH we reworked the internals slightly for even greater flow through.

This allows the use of a smaller, lower amperage pump to move the same amount of water. The AlphaONE LH was designed for the pond keeper that has energy efficiency as a top priority.

All of the AquaBead AlphaONE Filters utilize the AquaSwirl internal Vortex spinning design that spins heavier solids to the center of the bottom of the vessel. AquaBead filters also feature the AquaBead Life Support System, known as "ALISS", which keeps beneficial bacteria alive indefinitely during times of medical shutdowns, pumps failures, etc. The 2" Clear Union Spring Check Valve located right under the blower provides maximum flow and has built-in unions. If you should ever have to replace the spring check valve, it is no big deal. Just unscrew the top and bottom of the valve, remove the valve body, replace with a new body and re-hand tighten the two unions. Total repair time is under 2 minutes!
