Product Description
Aquadyne 8.8C Plug and Play Mounted Filtration System - up to 30000 gals.
Properly matching filtration equipment for a pond can be a challenge if you are like most and are a little short in knowledge of water flow in contained systems. Thus making it unwise to buy the first thing you come to and expect success. Aquadyne Plug & Play Filtration Systems take the hassle out of the decision making and installation process for you. Our primary goal in designing an Aquadyne Plug & Play system is Maximum performance, Maximum energy efficiency, Minimum maintenance, and ease of use.
Every pond environment is different. Different water flow requirements, different plumbing layouts, different head pressures. Aquadyne Plug & Play components are designed to perform to the requirements of your ponds environment. Aquadyne helps you get your performance right the first time with no worries. After your equipment arrives and you have everything unpacked in the equipment area, your system can be up and running in less than an hour, provided that your suction and return lines for your pond are in place.
- When designing an Aquadyne Plug & Play System for your pond environment, we must first consider the basics.
- What is Your Application: Residential, Commercial or Research
- What is the Fish/Species Load: Total Number and Average Present Size
What is Your Budget: While Plug & Play Systems cost a little more than buying individual pieces of equipment up front, your savings is quickly recovered in the ease of installation and not having to worry about whether the equipment is installed correctly. The hard work has already been done for you.
Aquadyne Plug & Play Systems are ideal for both residential and commercial installations. Our commercial installations already include applications such as zoos, aquariums, research facilities, fountains, and public water features. Aquadyne systems can be set in place and put into service within a short time of arrival and no prior experience with system assembly is necessary.

About the Filter:
The Aquadyne AD30,000 - Model 8.8C filtration system is without doubt the most superior of all bead filters in its class. Boasting worry free maintenance on ponds up to 30,000 gallons.
Commercial fisheries presently run 600+ pounds of fish in a single living, growing system with generous feeding habits, yet they claim a most excellent water quality with regard to waste management. At such a heavy load, their practice is to take a few minutes and backwash the system every day to eliminate the mechanical waste from the heavy feeding that goes on in the commercial facility. Aquaponic facilities can easily run double and even triple the loading. The more field absorption you have with aquaponic rafting or planting systems you can greatly extend the filtration capacities.
In the average large pond installation, the sheer volume of the Model 30,000 can bless you with only having to backwash as little as once every 3 weeks. These farmers joke that you really can clean the filter with a cup of coffee in your hand.
The AD30,000 moves filtration well into the commercial category, supporting extremely high pond or fish run water capacities with very heavy fish loads. Commercially rated equipment in this catecory can run up to $9000 and $10,000. But the AD30,000 comes well under that price point, allowing high flow rates and exceptional solids removal at heavy loads.
Here also this model includes the Dynamax air assisted backwash which makes this model extremely efficient in all ranges of waste loading. This unit will efficiently filter 30,000 gallons of water with up to 660 pounds of fish or other aquatic inhabitants. Even under the heaviest of waste loading, the Dynamax will break up a loaded media bed with ease.
The AD30,000 is easily suited for applications where high volume ponds, research applications, or aquariums need to have exceptional performance under the most abusive aquatic circumstances without breaking the bank. The large media bed allows for an excessive accumulation of beneficial bacteria to consume very high amounts of ammonia and nitrite.
