Polygeyser Filter
The PolyGeyser beadfilter is a real revolution in filter technology. Designed by the father of the Bubble Bead filter; Dr. Ron Malone. The PolyGeyser beadfilter is automatically self-cleaning without moving parts or electronics and is capable of providing mechanical filtration down to 5 micron particle size. How The PolyGeyser Beadfilter WorksWater enters the filter in the middle of the chamber below the
floating beads, and flows up through the beads and out to the pond. A
pump, injects air into the collection chamber until it is full. The
air is then

released automatically up through the bed of beads,
churning loose captured debris (this is the geyser part). The water
pump continues to run. The beads fall to below the water intake, so
the new pond water washes down through the beads to the chamber below.
As the filter refills, the beads float up to the top of the filter,
and the cleaning process is completed. The air pump can be adjusted to
fill the chamber for automatic cleaning every two to six hours,
keeping the filter media bed at an optimum performance level and
debris free. In the bottom chamber of the filter, the captured
debris settles out, and can be released by simply opening a valve at
the convenience of the owner (normally every 2 or 3 days), however the
chamber is quite large, so the filter can go for weeks without being
flushed, and the flushing process uses very little water. The pump
doesn't even need to be turned off to purge the collection chamber.
