![]() The flow rate inside the entire vertical column of the Aquadyne is just as slow if not slower than any other high volume filter on the market. Using most energy effecient pumps, you will likely not even get a pressure reading on the gage in the filter cycle, providing that your plumbing head loss is low. Just how slow do they seem to think the water needs to go? The Aquadyne system is more accurately described as a closed system rather than a pressurized system. If a 24 inch pipe were in the open air supplied by a 3900 gph pump, the water would only fall over the edge of the tank, without shooting anywhere. the water only speeds back up just a fraction of a second before it leaves the discharge port of the control head. Sure, the water goes into and exits the tank very fast, but once inside, it is forced to slow down, just by shear volume. You are pushing water through a 24 inch tank with the media evenly spaced within the tanks full circumference. That is exactly what you are doing with the Aquadyne 2.2 bead filter system. A 6 inch pipe only spills water out about 4 inches above the rim of the pipe. The water shoots only one foot into the air. Wow, the water is slowing down! Are you getting it yet? Now lets put a 2 inch pipe on the pump. Consequently, the water now only shoots 6 feet into the air. ![]() What Happened? The water came out of the pipe under less pressure due to the increase in pipe size. (More on that later.) Now, lets put a 1 ½ inch pipe on the pump and turn it on. Consequently, due to the friction created by pressure on the inside of the pipe, you have "friction loss". Look out!, because the water will shoot about 15 feet into the air! You are putting out a lot of water at high pressure, due to the restriction of the water flow into the 1 inch pipe. (At least that's the way it is at our place.) We will first hook up our 3900 gph pump to a one inch pipe and turn it on. Imagine yourself in your backyard with half of Home D's plumbing department at your fingertips. We will assume for the purposes of illustration that we are using a 3900 GPH pump on an Aquadyne 2.2 system, which has a 24 inch tank width. This one will take a bit longer, but we promise that it will not be boring. This is a classic case of seemingly very knowledgeable people not having a sufficient amount of knowlede to effectively help customers and not be concerned with just selling something. ![]() We have specific rights reserved which protect our central diffuser column which is the key component and reason for the success of the Aquadyne filtration systems.Ĭompetitors who do not sell or have access to a bead system will tell you that pressurized filters do not work because the water flows too fast through the media to be called a biological filter, all in the name of selling you a messy filter pad (and/or) brush filter system. Although, Aquadyne is the only company nationwide who has filed a US Patent for using bead technology in a sand body. Much the same way as auto makers use a common chassis to build many different cars. The tank is merely a platform that we have used to make major modifications to create an entirely new end product. We do use a specific sand filter tank body and control head, but that is all. Cats are cats and dogs are dogs, but an Aquadyne system is anything but a sand filter. The most common comment that you will likely hear is: "It looks like a sand filter" So lets just take a step into the Fuzzy Tech world of Aquadyne. There will be every attempt in the world for other manufacturers to come up with some reason why we have failed, so that they can still claim to have the "Best" system. Considering that Aquadyne has redesigned and manufactured an existing technology into an exceptionally functional patented bead filtration technology. We may have coined a phrase in using the term fuzzy tech, but fuzzy tech it is the way in which we will describe the complicated fluid dynamics of water flow in our closed filtration system in a way that most anyone will be able to understand. You will not find Fuzzy Tech described in any book, but it is a throwback from fuzzy logic, which is in text books, and is a very complicated mathematical theory which allows computers to function with seeming reactive intelligence.
