PLEASE READ INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

THOROUGHLY BEFORE INSTALLATION.

PLEASE NOTE: Do not operate the multi-port valve with

the circulating pump switched on. The ball valve on the air blower

line must be closed when the circulating pump is switched on.

INTRODUCING THE K1 MICRO BEAD FILTERS

The K1 Micro Bead Filters are a range of pressurised systems that deliver incredible

levels of filtration for ponds. By using the new K1 Micro filter media instead of

conventional beads, these filters offer class-leading mechanical filtration along with

unparalleled biological filtration. This is due to the vast PROTECTED SURFACE AREA

of K1 Micro filter media. The media also improves flow through the filter meaning

lower energy pumps can be used and a consistent flow rate can be achieved.

For more detailed information on K1 Micro visit our website www.evolutionaqua.com

Please read this instruction manual carefully from start to finish

before attempting to install your new K1 Micro Bead Filter.

K1 MICRO BEAD FILTER SPECIFICATIONS

AIR BLOWER SIZE

The maximum working pressure of all K1 Micro Bead Filters is 2.5 Bar.

K1 MICRO BEAD 20 FILTER (20”) = 200W Air Blower

K1 MICRO BEAD 24 FILTER (24”) = 200W Air Blower

K1 MICRO BEAD 30 FILTER (30”) = 300W Air Blower

K1 MICRO BEAD 36 FILTER (36”) = 300W Air Blower

On the pipe run between the MPV and the Air Blower

there is a 1½” ball valve fitted.

The ball valve handle must always be closed when

the circulating pump is switched on. This indicates

that the ball valve is CLOSED.

This is designed to prevent water flowing back

into the air blower.

Only open the ball valve when the pump is

switched off and before operating the air blower.

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.

The filtered water is returned to the top of the unit through the multi-port valve and back to

the return line flowing back into the pond.

Figure 6b.

Figure 6a.

The K1 Micro Bead Filter is operated by a multi-port

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 valve must always be operated with

the circulating pump switched OFF.The ball valve

positioned below the air blower must be closed when

the pump is running. Below we offer an explanation of

each of the multi-port valve’s functions:

1) FILTER: Incoming water from the pond enters

the MPV at point (A) (see figure 8). The water enters

the vessel at point (D) then flows upwards through

the K1 Micro filter media to the top exit bar (B).

The filtered water is returned through the multi-port

valve at point (C) and back into the pond.

2) BACKWASH: This is the position the multi-port

valve should be in for cleaning the K1 Micro filter

media. With the valve in this position, water flow is

reversed through the filter bed so that the water

flow is directed to the top of the unit (B) and exits

the unit at (D) and goes out to the waste line (E).

3) RINSE: This is the position the multi-port valve

should be in for agitating the K1 Micro filter media.

With the valve in this position, air (supplied by the

air blower) is used to agitate the filter media.

Later on in the cleaning process, water is used to

rinse the K1 Micro and exit to waste (E).

4) WASTE: This is the position the multi-port valve should be in to allow water to by-pass

the filter bed and drain to waste (E). With the multi-port valve in this position, the water

flow is directed straight to waste by-passing the unit. This function can be used to lower the

water level or for vacuuming your pond without soiling the filter.

5) RE-CIRCULATE: This is the position the multi-port valve should be in to allow water

to completely by-pass the filter. With the valve in this position, water is pumped from the

pond to the multi-port valve and directly back to the pond, without flowing through the K1

Micro Bead Filter. This is particularly handy if you are treating your pond.

6) CLOSED: This is the position the multi-port valve should be in for closing all flow to the

filter. This position is not to be used with the pump running.

K1 MICRO BEAD FILTER INSTALLATIONS

The K1 Micro Bead Filter is a versatile unit. It can be used:

• as a filter on its own

• in conjunction with a pre-filter

• on skimmer lines

• as a polisher at the end of a system

• on pump-fed systems

• on gravity fed systems

• installed at any height or location

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. from entering the filter and pump.

* It is recommended that all pipework on the pump side (from the pump to the filter and

back to the pond) is installed on 2” pipe. Please note on the K1MicroBead20 Filter you

will have to reduce your pipe down to 1½” to connect to the multi-port valve. This will

ensure that your pump is working at its maximum flow.

Do not operate the multi-port valve with the circulating pump switched on.

The ball valve must be closed when the circulating pump is running.
