Description & Specifications
This is the next generation of filters and the best tool for Koi ponds. The Ultima II is specifically engineered to meet the environmental demands of ponds. The lightweight media is designed for very high flow rates. There is a patent pending on this tubular media which has low head loss and a very high biofilm surface. The “Y” shape on the inside and wings on the outside affords a protective surface under backwashing and our patent pending backwash system will keep the media from clogging. The same properties have been added to this media in three different sizes with random lengths and diameters to avoid stacking. One cubic foot of Ultima II media is equal to 750 square feet of surface area. Cleaning the filter is done by internal jets. The Ultima II is also the ideal filter for aquariums where very high flow rates are desired.

The Aqua Ultima II Filters are known in the industry as the easiest filter to maintain, the Ultima II Filters take just 5 minutes a week to backwash. Gone are the days of dismantling your filter and scrubbing pads. The Ultima II Bio-mechanical filter traps and converts fish waste, ammonia, into a substance that is harmless to fish called nitrates. Nitrates can then be used by the plants in the pond. If Ammonia is left untreated, it can cause serious harm to the Fish. The Ultima II bio-mechanical filter creates an ecosystem for your pond, replicating the natural, beneficial bacteria found in ponds and lakes, ensuring a healthy environment for your fish. How is the Ultima II Different? The key is the patented media which is exclusive to Aqua Ultraviolet. The Aqua Ultraviolet media traps solid waste while also providing a protected growth surface for beneficial bacteria. This biofilm is what converts the ammonia to harmless compounds. Because of the innovative design, the filter media has the most biofilm surface area of any in the industry. One square foot of the Aqua UV filter media has 800 cubic feet of surface area! This media never needs to be replaced and requires no maintenance, just backwash weekly. The Ultima II filters are sturdy, durable units made from heavy-duty material. The Ultima can even be buried up to the valve assembly for concealment if desired.
