FAQs

How often should I clean the filter?

The frequency depends on the pond and the amount of debris. Check the filter indicator regularly and clean when necessary (typically every few weeks).

What kind of pump should I use?

Use a pond pump with a flow rate between 1000-3000 L/h, depending on your pond volume.

What is the purpose of the bio balls?

Bio balls provide a large surface area for beneficial bacteria to grow, which helps in the biological filtration process, converting harmful substances into less harmful ones.

Where should I place the filter?

Place the filter on a level surface near your pond. The high outlet pipe allows for partial burying to make it less conspicuous.

What is the purpose of the waste drain?

The waste drain makes it easy to remove accumulated debris during cleaning, simplifying maintenance.

What filter media is included?

The filter includes Japanese matting, coarse and fine filter foam, and bio balls.

How do I know if the filter is working correctly?

Monitor water clarity, check the filter indicator, and observe the health of your fish. Regular water testing can also help.

Can I bury the filter completely?

Partial burying is possible due to the high outlet pipe, but avoid fully submerging it.

Troubleshooting

Water is cloudy.

Check and clean the filter media (Japanese matting, foam, and bio balls). Ensure the pump is working correctly.

Poor water flow.

Check for blockages in the filter. Clean the pump and intake. Make sure the outlet isn't obstructed.
