  • Page 8: How The K1 Micro Bead Filter Works

    HOW THE K1 MICRO BEAD FILTER WORKS Water enters the filter from the pond into the multi-port valve (MPV) and is directed to the bottom of the unit. As the water is pumped through the K1 Micro Bead Filter, dirt, debris and waste are trapped by the K1 Micro and then the massive protected surface area housing the filter bacteria biologically breaks down the Ammonia and Nitrite into Nitrate.

  • Page 9: The Multi-Port Valve

    THE MULTI-PORT VALVE The K1 Micro Bead Filter is operated by a multi-port filter valve. This multi-port valve functions by pushing down on the handle, turning it and relocating it into one of the operating positions shown on the multi-port valve (see figure 7).

    The K1 Micro Bead Filter can be installed as shown above if you are planning to use a pre-filter such as the Evolution Aqua Cetus Sieve. If you are not planning to use a pre-filter we highly recommend that you fit a strainer basket to the pump. This will prevent leaves, string algae etc.
