BIO FILTERS AND HOW THEY WORK

A biological filter is a crucial part of your pond filtration system. It may be unseen, but its role is vital in maintaining the quality of your pond water. Once the mechanical filter collects fish waste and debris, biological filter takes over, acting as a guardian to protect your precious fish from harmful substances. Beneficial bacteria play a remarkable role in this process by transforming toxic ammonia (NH3) into nitrite (No2), which can be just as harmful if left unchecked. Nitrite is then converted into the safer nitrate (No3). This natural and efficient process ensures the safety and well-being of your fish. If you want to enhance your biological filter, there are products available to activate it further. Experience the wonders of biological filters and witness the magic they can bring to your pond.

UV light

Discover the Essential Role of UV Light in Achieving Crystal Clear Water. Your filter system’s final stage, a UV light, plays a crucial role in ensuring water clarity. By effectively eliminating single-celled free-flowing algae, which often turns your water green if left unchecked, a UV light helps maintain a pristine pond environment. As water passes through the UV unit, it is exposed to ultraviolet light, efficiently eliminating algae and promoting a healthier water ecosystem.

Types of filters

Pressuried Filters

Bubble bead filter is a pressurised mechanical filter system. Although it exactly like a good old sand sand filter on its appearance but works completely different on the inside. It uses plastic beads instead of sand which means less strain on your pump.

Koi filters use koi sand or clino fish inside which does a very good job to clean your water.
