Aqua Ultraviolet Ultima II 30,000 Pond Filter, 3" Side Mount Ports (MPN A50301)

The Ultima II Filters are specifically created to handle large amounts of water flow, heavy loads, and high feed rates. They are not only suitable for aquaculture facilities but also for backyard ponds and large aquarium systems. These filters play a crucial role in maintaining the well-being of aquatic life by effectively removing ammonia and accumulated debris from applications ranging from 500 to 60,000 gallons. One of the key features of the Ultima II Filters is their "cyclonic" backwashing system, which is equipped with internal jets. This innovative design incorporates Bio-Tube Aqua Media, consisting of tubular structures that protect bacteria while dislodging unwanted debris. By simply rotating the valve handle, the patented cyclonic backwash system takes care of the cleaning process in just a matter of minutes. Additionally, the Ultima II Filters combine both biological and mechanical filtration functions within their compact body. Some notable advantages of these filters include their ability to manage high flow rates, heavy fish loads, and the prevention of bio-media clumping due to their unique patented tubular design. Moreover, the filter's compact body can be conveniently buried to save space. However, it's important to note that the Ultima II Filters do not include three unions as part of the package.
