Filtration

Pond filters are indispensable components in the maintenance of a thriving aquatic environment. Designed to improve water quality, these filters work by removing impurities, debris and harmful toxins from the pond water, ensuring a healthy habitat for fish and other aquatic life.
Two commonly used types of pond filters are pressure filters and gravity filters. Pressure filters operate by forcing water through a pressurized chamber containing filter media, effectively trapping debris and impurities before allowing the clean water to return to the pond. On the other hand, gravity filters rely on the natural flow of water, utilizing gravity to move water through filter media. These filters are typically positioned at a higher elevation, allowing water to pass through mechanical and biological filtration stages. Gravity filters are known for their efficiency in handling larger volumes of water, making them suitable for larger ponds or water features. Both pressure and gravity filters are essential in maintaining water clarity, reducing algae growth, and promoting a balanced pond ecosystem by removing pollutants and providing a habitat for beneficial bacteria.
