Three-Stage Filtration System

Stage 1 – Mechanical Filtration
Three foam discs help capture unwanted organic debris and provide surfaces where beneficial bacteria can develop.

Stage 2 – Biological Filtration
Bio balls provide surface area for beneficial bacteria that help convert harmful ammonia and nitrite into nitrate as part of the pond's biological filtration process.

Stage 3 – UV-C Clarification
The integrated UV-C lamp treats water passing through the unit and helps control suspended algae that contribute to green pond water. Performance depends on correct installation, water flow, lamp condition and pond conditions.

Suitable Applications

• Garden fish ponds
• Decorative and ornamental ponds
