Aquaculture Filters & Fish Hatchery Systems
Get Solids Removal & Biological Filtration in One Unit
No matter your specifications, we have the perfect filter solution for your recirculating aquaculture system.
Our filters are designed to be robust and reliable, with few moving parts. They also operate at low pressure to allow the use of low to medium head pumps for energy savings. Experience reduced maintenance, minimal water loss, and improved filtration.
High Density Fish Keeping Made Easy
Our filters easily handle high waste loads without caking or channeling and are designed with few moving parts, making maintenance easy and infrequent. We also offer self-automated filters (FIT System, Polygeyser, Airlift, and Endurance) and controller systems to make routine maintenance more automated.

Why Buy an AST Bead Filter?
- Tested technology – over 20 years of research and real-world application have proven bead filtration superiority
- Energy savings – smaller pumps paired with efficient design
- Low maintenance – backwashing is quick and doesn’t require you to get your hands dirty
- Longevity – media never needs replacement and is resistant to clogging and channeling
- Excellent biofiltration – media contains 400ft2 of surface area per cubic foot for the biological breakdown of nitrogenous waste
- Superior clarification – studies show that our filters remove 100% of particles greater than 50 microns and 48% of particles in the 5-10 micron range per pass
- Water conserving technology – our newest filters recycle their own backwash water, drastically reducing water loss!
- One year warranty – if there is a defect in filter manufacturing AST will provide a warranty replacement for up to one year from the date of shipment
