Since bead filters are so bad because they trap fines, then what is the solution.

In my humble experiences, fines will be trapped on every surface the water comes into contact with.

Several persons on this board say they use oyster shell to regulate PH, but yet a bed of oyster shells will trap fines just like a bead filter, but without the ability to backwash.

Matting also catches a large amount of fines, and they need to be removed by hand and cleaned. And since it is labor intensive, many people put it off till the water quits flowing.

Of course we could just leave fines alone in the pond and not have something to remove it, but then that would not be a bit better than having them stored in the bead filter.

So I would be interested as to why the knocking of a method of fines removal that seems to work pretty well?
