What is a trickle filter?
A trickle filter is a type of gravity filter – it uses spray bars and gravity to return water to the pond. Noel Shaw, Southern Arizona Koi Association, AKCA Koi Health Advisor, has a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation that contains a lot of information to include a trickle filter.
