AlphaONE Filters

The AlphaOne Difference is the Media
Bead filters trap solids in the first few inches of the bead pac (causing clogging, flow disruption and pressure rises in the vessel) while the AlphaONE with its uniquely designed AlphaBioONE media traps debris uniformly and evenly throughout the pac. This results in greater flow, less head or back pressure and less maintenance.
The AlphaBioONE media is specifically designed for this filter and this filter only, not borrowed from another industry. This media is not designed with the "cross-hairs" found in other specialty types of media use. GC Tek left those out because in a static bed of media those areas can trap debris and become saturated with anaerobic bacteria
Anaerobic bacteria include many types of pathogenic, disease-producing bacteria. Some of the diseases associated with anaerobic bacteria include cholera, scabies, typhoid, shigella, salmonella, botulism and miscellaneous bacteria that cause infectious boils and sores
With the AlphaBioONE media there are no hidden spaces for anaerobic bacteria to harbor and stagnate, only beneficial bacteria.
The water polishing ability of the filter is one of its most desirable features based on end customer comments.

Vortek SS Delux

The revolutionary Vortek SS Delux is a prefilter that truly separates all debris prior to the pump. Water flows to the Vortek SS Delux prior to the pump where the debris is removed in two ways.
Heavier non buoyant debris settles to the bottom of the prefilter
Lighter, buoyant debris will rise into the floating media pack where it is caught and held in a relatively calm area within the pack where it waits until it is backwashed out
Weekly backwashing is recommended and very easy to do. During this process the media balls and debris are exposed to over a 100-cu. ft. per minute of air that breaks up accumulated debris, algae, fish poop, etc. What goes on inside of the tank is very violent during this time and anything inside the unit is broken into minute particles that are easily backwashed out of the unit. Once this is done you are ready to enjoy another week of trouble-free enjoyment.
