Evolution Aqua K+MBF9600 Microbead Filter

Manufactured To Last
The latest innovation in pond filtration technology. Manufactured by Evolution Aqua, the Evolution Aqua K+MBF9600 Microbead Filter (formerly K1 Micro Bead Filter) is produced using rotational moulding process. The body is made of a single homogenous material, meaning there is no joint line, the wall thickness is consistent throughout, there is no weak point, and the feet are built-in as part of the body – no skirt.This means that the Evolution Aqua K+MBF9600 Microbead Filter is extremely durable and has the same attractive granite grey color finish as the other filters in the family.

Improved Mechanical And Biological Filtration
The benefits of using K+Media have been well documented since its launch in 2019, including its ability to filter particles down to one micron. The design and profile of the media helps to improve flow. Its vast protected surface area of 312.42 ft2 per ft3 maintains stable bio-films. Its unique manufacturing process where minerals and enzymes are added during the extrusion process ensures K+Media matures faster than any other type of filter media. Evolution Aqua’s filter media has also been independently tested to verify its performance by IFTS and Cranfield University.

Peace Of Mind
Because Evolution Aqua are in control of the manufacturing process they undergo rigorous testing and quality control checks before leaving the factory. K+Advanced Filters are rated to a maximum working pressure of 21.7 PSI, but have been factory tested up to 36 PSI and have passed a 10,000 cycle pressure test.

Economical To Run
To optimize performance, there are unique double laterals inside the filter that help to improve flow through the bed of K+Media, that is supplied with every filter. This laminar flow, coupled with the use of K+Media reduces back pressure on the circulating pump, ultimately making the Evolution Aqua K+MBF9600 Microbead Filter one of the most economical filters to run.

Easy As 1-2-3
The Evolution Aqua K+MBF9600 Microbead Filter is simple to install and can be used as a standalone filter or as part of a larger filtration system with a Nexus+ or on a skimmer line. The Evolution Aqua K+MBF9600 Microbead Filter is incredibly easy to clean and come with K+Media, pipework, air ablower and multiport valve.

How The K+ Microbead Filter Works
Water enters the filter from the pond into the multiport valve (MPV) and is directed to the bottom of the unit. As the water is pumped through the K+Advanced Filter, dirt, debris and waste are trapped by the K+Media and then the massive protected surface area housing the filter bacteria and breaks down biologically the Ammonia and Nitrite into Nitrate.

The filtered water is returned to the top of the unit through the multiport valve and back to the return line flowing back into the pond. The laterals have been specifically designed to give optimum flow through the K+Media. The K+Advanced Filter is optimized to be less restrictive than many other similar filters. Because of this the K+Advanced Filter maintains its flow rate between cleaning cycles.

To ensure maximum circulation through the filter, it is best to keep the hose short and the pumping height to a minimum, especially on the discharge side of the filter.
