Does the pond need a filter system?
Two different types of filters are used with our ponds. The first one is a mechanical filter which is like a pool skimmer. This has a net bag that traps any debris that is blown onto the surface of the pond. This filter has the option of an automatic water fill. It also has an overflow connection. This filter also filters smaller particles and protects your pump, while keeping it clear, by means of a single media filter pad. The second is a biological filter which is placed under the waterfall. This filter is completely hidden from view. This biological filter contains three more filtration pads, as well as 60 lb. of lava rock. This filter function is to convert toxic compounds produced from the fish into nitrates. These nitrates are utilized by the aquatic plants in your pond. Both filters are necessary in maintaining the health and the cleanliness of your pond.
