Perma-Beads® Aquatic Filtration Media
Why are people still using sand media for aquatic life support filtration?
Sand filters are designed for chlorinated swimming pools, not aquatic life support systems! In organically loaded systems, sand filters inevitably clog and channel, decreasing filtration performance over time until the sand media eventually needs to be replaced. Perma-Beads® are a cost-effective filter media solution specifically designed to convert your sand filter to a Perma-Bead® filter, so it won’t clog, or channel. Perma-Beads® never have to be replaced. With Perma-Beads® your existing filter can operate efficiently and cost-effectively without any plumbing or design changes and no more labor-intensive sand media replacements.
It’s time to stop wasting money, water, and energy with antiquated sand media and convert to a Perma-Bead® filter.

What our clients are saying
G.A.
New York
“We are very pleased with the conversion of our sand filters to Perma Beads. We note excellent filtration and a significant reduction in backwash time and water use. The beads “give up” the filtered material much faster and more completely than did the sand. We notice cooler running pumps and more efficient disinfection. Fine particulate is filtered faster and more completely than anticipated. Even after a severe thunderstorm causing a great deal of soil contamination the water cleared within a few hours. I would recommend the Perma- Bead conversion for any sand filter which is subjected to a significant soil or bioload demand.”
