Product Description
AST Bubble-Washed BBF-XS4000 Bead Filter Skid System
AST Bubble-Washed Bead Filter offers robust, efficient, and dependable water filtration.
A popular product in multiple industries and applications, the Bubble Bead Filters by AST offer easy maintenance and effective filtration. Perfect for aquaculture systems, research applications, quarantine systems, broodstock holding, and more.
Studies have shown that our bead filters capture 100% of particles greater than 50 microns and 48% of particles in the 5–10-micron range per pass.
In addition to solids removal, these filters provide biological filtration, breaking down the nitrogenous wastes into non-toxic substances. Our gentle backwash removes the collected solids while keeping the necessary bio-film intact.
Filter Benefits:
- Gentle Backwash: Does not harm the bio-film
- Simple: Easy to understand and operate
- Reliable: No internal moving parts
- Energy Savings: Efficient design
- Low Maintenance: Backwashing is quick
- Longevity: Media never needs replacement
