 FACTS ABOUT   FILTERS & STERILIZERS  

UNDERWATER AND EXTERNAL FILTERS
Every pond should have one!

Any isolated pool of water is subject to conditions which affect its health and clarity.Cloudy water can occur when you first install a pond. Other factors like rotting leaves, disturbed silt, organic sludge and algae all combine to spoil the ideal environment you want to create in your pond. Generally, larger ponds are easier to keep clean and the introduction of a selection of pond plants will help to maintain a healthy balance. But to be absolutely sure about water quality, the installation of a filtration system is required.

What Does a Pond Filter Do?
Pond filters protect pump from clogging from debris in the pond. More importantly, they purify the water and the environment using 2 simple processes.

Filtration Processes Within a Pond
Mechanical Filtration Biological Filtration
Acts as a physical barrier, trapping suspended dirt in a foam block so that it can be easily removed Performed by beneficial bacteria which grow naturally in the filter media. These microscopic organisms convert the harmful toxins ammonia and nitrite which are manufactured by fish and decay processes into much safer nitrates. Incidentally nitrate is an excellent plant food.


UNDERWATER FILTERS

PowerFLO Underwater Filters offer ease of maintenance with their easy lift handles and modular design. Since they can be coupled to any pump with flexible hose and the "Click-Fit" Coupling System, they are best situated at the pond side to eliminate wading and minimize disturbance to the environment when the filter needs attention.
