How Does The Filter Work?
|
Ecosystem ponds work with Mother Nature to provide food, shelter, and safety to the wildlife around it. It also provides an all-natural, low-maintenance piece of paradise. Every piece of the ecosystem puzzle must be present in order for a true ecosystem to be in place. Eliminate one of these elements and you’ve got an unbalanced ecosystem.
Check out the things you’ll need to get your ecosystem pond in perfect balance: 
|
1) Skimmer (mechanical filter): will not only pre-filter the water and house the pump; it will also skim debris from the water’s surface to prevent the accumulation of organic materials on the pond floor.
2) BioFalls® (biological filter): Provide surface area for beneficial bacteria to colonize and remove excess nutrients from the water. 3) Pumps: an efficient circulation system will keep the water moving and provide the necessary oxygen levels for healthy koi fish and plants. 4) Piping: Flex piping is used to carry the water from the pump to the BioFalls water filter unit. 5) Rocks and gravel: provide tremendous surface area for beneficial bacteria to break down excess nutrients in the water and dissolved organic debris on the pond floor. 6) Pond Liner: This is the basis for the whole systems containment of water. The rubber liner is said to be good for up 50 years when covered in rocks & gravel. 7) Fish: reduce koi pond maintenance as they graze on string algae and bottom feed on the pond floor. Koi also make very enjoyable pets, providing hours of natural entertainment. 7) Plants: Mother Nature’s true filters, plants are great for adding character to a pond by providing color and texture, but from a filtration perspective, they’re second to none. Thriving from the excess nutrients in a pond and depriving algae of its food source, the aquatic plants in a water garden, given proper coverage, are critical for the overall health of the ecosystem. |
1) Aquascape Inc's Pond Surface Debris Skimmers
1) The Skimmer Filter
There are two types of filters needed to properly maintain a water garden: the first is a mechanical skimmer and the second is biological filter. Skimmers are designed to eliminate water quality problems and reduce maintenance by removing debris before it sinks to the bottom of the pond, allowing a pond to be installed anywhere, even beneath trees. The ability of the Aquascape skimmer to remove so much debris from the water is also what makes it an excellent pre-filter for your pump.

3) Aquasurge High Efficiency Pumps
3) Pump or Circulation System
The proper size pump is extremely important for the aesthetics of a water feature. More importantly, an efficient circulation system will keep the water moving and provide the necessary oxygen levels for healthy fish and plants. Choosing the right pump for your pond is often one of the most intimidating and important decisions that you will have to make. When shopping for pond pumps, don’t get fooled by a cheap price. Buy a pump specifically designed for pond use. Remember, unlike pond lights, your pond or water garden pump will need to run 24 hours a day.
