Some longtime pond builders say the only type of
filtration that can measure up to bead filtration is fluidized
bed filtration.
The beauty of fluidized bed filtration is that it is a selfcleaning
biofilter. This provides the ultimate environment
in which bacteria can thrive.
Ordinarily, the downside to fluidized bed filtration is that it
does not polish water. However, in the patented
Fluidbead® filter from Fluidart®, pond owners get a filter
that combines the great biofiltration of a fluidized bed
together with the fine particulate and polishing of bead
filtration.
The Fluidbead® filter is the only filter on the market that
combines these two processes within the same vessel.

backwash if desired, plus the ability to bypass the filter
during times of treating the pond.
