The vertical backwash lateral jet inside the HydroBead™ Vortex HBV-28 koi pond filter reduces backwash time which results in less water use and eliminates the backwash “dead-zones” that occur within other brands of bead filters that feature horizontal backwash laterals.

The HBV-28 large koi pond filter’s unique design eliminates the need for expensive, difficult to use, and aggravating air blowers that competing bead filters require for backwashing.

Polishes Water for Maximum Clarity and Shine:

The polypropylene HydroBead™ media inside this 28″ bead filter cling together under pressure to trap fine particulates down to 100 microns and polish the water during filtering. The HydroBeads™ easily separate during backwash to release the trapped particulates.
