Congratulations
You have made a wise choice in choosing the AlphaONE filter. Your filter was
carefully thought out and designed to give you many years of faithful, worry free ser-
vice. Some of the care and planning of your filter is self evident in even the small things,
such as the Lifetime Warranty on the tank itself. The tanks are made of the ultimate filter
vessel material, fiberglass. This is a higher quality tank than the typical plastic tank
used on many filters.
Your clear spring check valve for the AlphaONE bead Agitator is designed so
in time (normally many, many years) when the check valve goes out you can simply
unscrew the union and replace just the valve seat itself in just a few minutes.
Your Multiport valve was carefully chosen to be the least restrictive backwash
valve on the market to give maximum flows for the least energy dollars. The internals
were carefully designed with maximum flows in mind to give further energy savings, by
allowing you to use the most energy efficient pumps on the market.
The AlphaONE Life Support System allows you to hook up a koi pond air
pump to the supplied fitting on the front of the multiport valve and supply life giving
oxygen to the filter bacteria during times of medical bypass or pump failure.
The AlphaONE Bead Agitator is a high quality air blower that injects huge
amounts of air into the vessel prior to backwash, this breaks up the bead pack which
allows for a very thorough backwash.
Rest assured that quality was the main consideration
