Ultima II Aqua Ultraviolet Pond Filters – UV bio filters designed for extreme loads and elevated rates. The patent cyclonic backwash system does the dirty work for you.
 
The Ultima II Filters are designed for high flow rates, extreme loads and elevated rates.
 
Combines both biological and mechanical filtration in one compact body. Simply by rotating the valve handle the patented cyclonic backwash system does the dirty work for you. In just minutes the internal jets clean the filter for you. Ultima II Filters are designed for high flow rates, extreme fish loads, and elevated feed rates.
 
Supports aquatic life in bodies of water whether at an aquaculture facility, backyard pond or large aquarium system it is essential to remove both ammonia and accumulated debris from 500 to 100,000 gallon applications.
 
"Cyclonic" Backwash System
  • Simply set the valve to backwash and rinse
  • Internal jets do all the work for you
  • Never get your hands dirty 
Bio-Media Features
  • Highest area for growth of beneficial bacteria
  • Unique patented tubular design
  • Prevents clumping and channeling
  • Protects bacteria while dislodging unwanted debris
  • Pre-seeded with bacteria to start colonization quickly
How It Works
  • Bio-Mechanical, ultraviolet pond filters depend on establishing a colony of bacteria on the surface of the media that converts dissolved toxic nitrogenous waste to harmless compounds. 
  • When the bacteria are given the proper environment, they grow in a thin biofilm on the surface of each piece of media. The larger the surface area, the larger the bacterial colony. Our UV bio filter surpasses the competition in this area with four to seven times the surface area of any other media available. 
  • Biological and mechanical filtration are essential to every pond. The bacterial bed that builds on our ultraviolet pond filters will nitrify any ammonia in your pond making it a healthier environment for your aquatic life. Mechanical filtration picks up any debris in the pond, keeping your pond healthier and your fish happier.
To support aquatic life whether at an aquaculture facility, backyard pond or large aquarium system it is essential to remove both ammonia and accumulated debris. The most efficient way to accomplish this is by installing an ultraviolet pond filter like the Ultima II Biological Aqua Filter. The patented UV bio filter media has the highest biofilm surface for bacterial growth; these beneficial bacteria convert ammonia into harmless compounds. The dense bed of ridged media in the UV bio filter traps solids without clumping. Internal jets in the ultraviolet pond filter are activated during the backwash separating the waste from the media and sending it out the waste line.
 
The Ultima II Aqua Filter, an ultraviolet pond filter, is available in four standard models suitable for ponds from 1,000 to 20,000 gallons capacity, takes only minutes to backwash, and can handle heavy fish and feed loads. Equipped with ‘cyclonic’ backwashing, Ultima II features Bio-Tube Aqua Media. These media are of tubular design, which aims to protect bacteria while dislodging unwanted debris. Also, lightweight in design for very high flow rates.
 
The ‘Y’ shape and the wings on the outside affords a protective surface under the backwashing and the company’s patent-pending backwash system will keep the UV bio filter media from clogging. The same properties have been added to this media in three different sizes with random lengths and diameters to avoid stacking. One cubic foot of Ultima II media is equal to 750 sq ft of surface area. Cleaning the filter of the ultraviolet pond filter is done by internal jets. The Ultima II Aqua Filter tested and used by MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) has outperformed the competition. Tested side-by-side against all bead filters on the market, the Ultima II filters have been found to be “by far, the best UV bio filter,” claims the company.
 
The Ultima II Aqua Filter, which is seeded with bacteria, works like a centrifuge. The valve is rotated so the backwash will set the filter into cyclonic motion. A valve located inside the ultraviolet pond filter closes, which then diverts the water through the jets, sending the media spinning out to the walls of the filter, while dislodging the waste, causing it to separate and be sent out through the waste outlet.
 
The Ultima II Aqua Filter will work with any pump appropriate for the pond in question. The Ultima II’s Bio-Media with its patent-pending design is light enough so that the water from the pond will completely and quickly backwash the UV bio filter.Pond UV filters can be buried up to the valve top.
 
Note: Use appropriate pump for filter size (if you purchase a 4000 Gallon Ultraviolet Pond Filter, use a pump that will give you 4000 GPH at your Total Dynamic Head (10’ of pressure head plus vertical head height plus friction head (length and inside diameter size of hose with fittings such as elbows) for the best backwash. In addition, the Ultima II Filters should not be used with pipe dope inline as it will break down the valve of the Ultima Filter and will not be covered under warranty. Teflon tape is recommended.
