Aqua Ultraviolet – Ultima II 10,000 Filter with 2" Multi-Port Valve

Aqua Ultraviolet – Ultima II 10,000 Filter w/ 2" Multi-Port Valve

Overview

High-capacity, pressurized bead filter for ponds and water features up to 10,000 gallons. The Ultima II 10,000 combines dense, non-clogging bio-media with a powerful backwash system to deliver crystal-clear water with minimal maintenance.

Key Features

• Pressurized “bead” filtration with high-surface-area Bio-Tubes for mechanical + biological polishing

• Cyclonic backwash agitates and lifts debris for fast, low-waste cleaning

• 2" multi-port valve (side-mount) with simple handle positions (Filter, Backwash, Rinse, Waste, Recirculate, Closed)

• Low headloss design—pairs well with external pumps on long runs

• UV- and weather-resistant, corrosion-proof vessel for outdoor equipment pads

Sizing & Flow Guidance

• Pond capacity: up to 10,000 gal (stocking/feeding and sun exposure may reduce real-world capacity—oversize when in doubt)

• Typical pump pairing: ~7,500–10,000 GPH target flow through the 2" valve

• For koi/high load, consider upsizing pump/filter or running a prefilter for best results

3. Use unions and 2" PVC where possible to minimize headloss.

4. Start in Rinse after media loads with water, then set to Filter.

5. Backwash when the pressure gauge rises ~5–8 psi above clean baseline (or weekly in heavy-load ponds).
