Applications for Perma-Beads ® for customized recirculating systems and complete turnkey, customized Perma-Bead® sand filter systems, pond recirculating systems and recirculating filtration systems
Perma-Beads® for Koi and Ornamental PondsKoi and ornamental ponds have high organic loading due to the accumulation of fish waste and plant debris that eventually cause clogging, compaction and channeling in any sand filter. For over 20 years, thousands of koi and ornamental pond owners have used Perma-Beads® to replace the sand in their clogged sand filters. The unique shape, surface properties and high density of Perma-Beads® easily capture large volumes of waste, yet quickly release trapped waste upon backwash. Perma-Beads® provide longer intervals between backwashes and shorter duration for each backwash, saving thousands of gallons of water while providing superb water quality. | ![]() |
Perma-Beads® for Architectural Water FeaturesArchitectural water features require a recirculating system that produces pristine water quality with minimal maintenance. Many award winning architectural projects use Perma-Beads® to provide long-term superior water quality while conserving water, reducing maintenance time as well as electrical costs. Customized ‘Plug and Play’ Perma-Bead® architectural water feature systems designed to your project specifications are available upon request. | ![]() |
Perma-Beads® for Zoo ExhibitsPerma-Beads® Zoo exhibits often experience high organic loading due to the amount of waste and uneaten food created by both aquatic and terrestrial species. Perma-Beads® are used in numerous major zoos to maintain superb water quality for dozens of different species. Pumps run cooler with Perma-Beads® saving electricity while longer intervals between backwashes and shorter durations of each backwash save thousands of gallons of water every year. Advanced Aquaculture Systems also offers UV sterilizers for pathogen free water. | ![]() |
Perma-Beads® for Municipal PondsMunicipal ponds require clear, clean water with minimal maintenance. Numerous municipal ponds utilize Perma-Beads® to create superb water quality while reducing maintenance and water use. Perma-Beads® significantly reduce water usage by reducing backwash frequency and duration. Pumps run cooler thereby reducing electrical maintenance costs. Complete turnkey municipal pond recirculating systems are available to meet specific site and project requirements. | ![]() |
Perma-Beads® for Public AquariumsPublic aquariums require staged filtration systems to maintain ultra clear water yet often need to contend with large particulates from uneaten food and waste. Perma-Beads® make an ideal first stage filter reducing the size of ozone and other polishing systems. The consistent uniformity and professional quality of Perma-Beads® ensures the complete absence of any contaminants. This quality guarantee has produced superb water quality in numerous aquarium systems including critically sensitive bioassay research systems. | ![]() |
Perma-Beads® for Aquatic Animal SystemsAquatic animal systems always have high volumes of suspended solids present that require dependable and timely removal in order to maintain water quality. This suspended waste and associated high microbe populations quickly coat sand or other filter media creating a sticky, clogged filter bed. The unique spherical shape, super slippery surface properties and high density of Perma-Beads® eliminate these problems by easily fluidizing upon backwash. Perma-Beads® are ideal for any organically loaded aquatic system. | ![]() |
Perma-Beads® for Aquaculture FacilitiesRecirculating systems in aquaculture facilities require the efficient capture of suspended solids and their thorough removal upon backwash. Non-clogging Perma-Beads® are ideal for aquaculture hatchery, nursery and grow out systems. In addition, the consistent uniformity and professional quality of Perma-Beads® ensures the complete absence of any contaminants. This quality guarantee has produced superb water quality in many aquaculture systems including critically sensitive bioassay and research systems. | ![]() |
Perma-Beads® for Bait and Animal Holding FacilitiesBait and live holding facilities always have injured baitfish or crustaceans which rapidly degrade water quality and overwhelm traditional sand filter media. Perma-Beads® replace sand in any make or model sand filter and are ideal for capturing and holding large volumes of particulates yet clean quickly upon backwash reducing the amount of make up water required. Perma-Beads® create a stable system that increase survival in bait and live holding facilities. | ![]() |
Perma-Beads® for Water Treatment and Industrial ApplicationsPerma-Beads® are in use in numerous water treatment and industrial applications. The consistent uniformity and professional quality of Perma-Beads® ensures the complete absence of any contaminants. Their resistance to harsh chemicals, high salinity and elevated temperatures make them ideal for water treatment and industrial applications. | ![]() |
Perma-Beads® for Customized Recirculating SystemsComplete turnkey, customized Perma-Bead® recirculating systems, pond recirculating systems and recirculating filtration systems are available for any type of aquatic system including large commercial projects. Accessory components include autobackwash, UV sterilizers, variable speed pumps, foam fractionation and ozone subsystems all integrated into one skid mounted system. | ![]() |
