The Science Behind Filtration
There are two forms of filtration critical to maintaining a healthy ecosystem pond: mechanical and biological. Through mechanical and biological filtration, ecosystem ponds will process fish waste, uneaten fish food, leaves, and runoff from lawns.
In ecosystem ponds, mechanical filtration is provided by a pond skimmer and biological filtration is provided by a BioFalls® Filter.
How to Choose the Right Filter for Your Pond
To keep your pond or water feature looking beautiful, it is important to provide proper filtration. Features and benefits of Aquascape filters are noted in the following pages, making it simple and easy to select the correct filter for your application.
New Ponds
The advantage of choosing the right filter before you get started should not be underestimated. Aquascape takes an ecosystem approach to water gardening. This approach uses a pond skimmer and BioFalls Filter. The skimmer removes leaves and debris from the surface of the pond, optimizing water quality. A BioFalls Filter performs two very important functions; it supports mechanical and biological filtration and provides a great start to any waterfall.
Existing Ponds
In some circumstances it can be challenging to add a skimmer and BioFalls to an existing system. Perhaps the shape or building technique makes it prohibitive. In this situation we recommend the use of an UltraKlean™ Pond Filter, Submersible Pond Filter, Pond Waterfall Filter, or Pond Filter Urn. These filters will retrofit quickly into existing systems and provide efficient mechanical and biolocial filtration.
