New Improved Bio Filters | |
|
It is on it's way to becoming our most popular filter, the outside filter allows easy cleaning and maintenance without getting into the pond or shutting off the pump. Water is pumped into the bottom of the filter and through a mesh on the bottom that grows helpful bacteria. From there the water flows into the filter pads and any hard material such as algae is removed. Then on to the nitrobond that removes the excess nitrogen reducing your algae growth. We suggest you replace the nitrobond and filter pads yearly. Normal cleaning of this filter is monthly but at first in may require more cleaning to remove the algae and nutrients. The suggested pump for this filter is the S1200 Cal Pump. Click link below to go to filter page to see Cal Pumps.

Nitrobond: Stops Algae Dead! | |
|
Clears water naturally removes the ammonia from the chloramine, leaving the free chlorine to dissipate. Clients in chloramine areas should use one pound of NitroBond per 100 gallons of pond water, every six months in their filters. Clients without filters, should put NitroBond in an area where it will get the closest contact with tap water. NitroBond efficiency should be checked monthly with the Ammonia Test Kit. The time that NitroBond is effective will be determined by the amount of free ammonia in your pond (usually 1 year). |
Tagelus™ Sand Filter | |
|
This high rate sand filter designed to operate for years with a minimum of maintenance and when installed, operated and maintained in accordance to these instructions, it will provide years of trouble free operation. Algae and dirt is collected in the filter as the water flows through the control valve at the top of the filter and is directed downward onto the top surface of the filter sand bed. The algae and dirt is collected in the sand bed and the clear water flows through the center pipe into the control valve at the top of the filter. Clean water then returns through the piping system to the pond. The pressure will rise and the flow to the pond, will be lowered as the algae and dirt is collected in the filter. Eventually, the filter will become so plugged with algae and dirt that it will be necessary to perform the backwash procedure. Backwash at least twice a week, for no more than 15 seconds. As a minimum, you must be sure that your system, will turnover the total volume of water in your pond at least twice in a twenty-four hour period. Clear water is the result of proper filtration as well as proper water chemistry. Set-up instructions are shipped with each filter. |
