Tips and dos and don'ts on choosing a pond filters system for your pool. We
have gravity and pressurised andf also kits with the right pump.
filtration units are generally required to keep Garden Pools or Water
Gardens healthy and clear. Koi pools require more filtration than a Water Garden
or a Goldfish one due to the large mature size of these beautiful Koi Fish.
Effective Filters combine mechanical and biological filtration. Biological
filtration involves beneficial bacteria to break down fish waste and other
organic matter. Mechanical filtration traps particles in some type of
media for later removal during cleaning. Good Filtration is accomplish
both and can be fitted with Ultra Violet Clarifiers for algae control.
It is best to have an out of the Filtration system for ease and
convenience when cleaning or servicing . Some filtration must be installed at
the highest point of water discharge, but Pressurized Filtration can be
installed at any level because the force of the water exiting it is equal to the
force going in.
The Filtration must be sized correctly to insure effective cleaning and
purification of the water. Water Gardens and Goldfish Pools should be filtered
at the minimum rate of one half the volume every hour. Filtration for Koi
pond filters should be sized more generously. A Garden that receives full
sun (six or more hours a day) also needs a more generously sized filtration.
