HOW DOES IT WORK? STAGE 1 – MECHANICAL FILTRATION: Water is pumped into the filter creating the necessary pressure to begin the mechanical filtration stage. Three foam discs collect various sizes of unwanted organic debris encouraging the growth of large numbers of beneficial bacteria which break down harmful pollutants. STAGE 2 – BIOLOGICAL FILTRATION: At this stage the water passes through the bio-balls at the bottom of the filter. These have a large surface area & provide a habitat for beneficial bacteria to grow which naturally convert the harmful toxins of ammonia & nitrites into useful nitrates to support a healthy pond environment. STAGE 3 – UV CLARIFICATION: The water which may contain microscopic suspended algae spores passes the UV lamp clumping and killing the spores to give crystal clear water.

GOOD CONCEPT BUT JUST DOESN’T WORK!! I bought this for our water garden last summer. It worked great and kept the pond water super clean for about 2-3 months. Then it started leaking. First it leaked through the top around the light area. I fixed that and it then started leaking around the o-ring where the top attaches to the main body. Fix it and it then started leaking at both places.I contacted the seller. (Keep in mind I spent well over a hundred dollars on this thing for a product that lasted about 3 months) After 3…
Poorly designed product. I had to replace a hose clamp on the intake hose; this was not a problem with the filter.But after I replaced the hose clamp the bio-filter started leaking from behind the grey panel that rotates when you want to change to ‘cleaning’ mode. I had to get the panel in just the right position to stop it from leaking. Move the panel ever so slightly and it starts to leak again. I did nothing to induce this problem. The only thing I did was move the grey panel while changing the hose…
