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.
