Frequently Asked Questions

What is a gravity-fed filter? 

A gravity-fed pond filtration system uses a pump to move water into the filter, with the cleaned water then returning to the pond by gravity rather than being pumped back. These systems are commonly used on raised filter setups and combine mechanical and biological pond filtration in a single box.

Are bead filters good for koi? 

Bead filters are commonly used on koi ponds because they provide fine mechanical filtration and are designed to cope with higher waste levels, helping to keep pond water clearer. They can be used as a standalone filter or as part of a larger filtration setup, depending on the size of the pond and stocking levels.

What is a drum filter? 

A drum filter is an automatic mechanical filter that removes solid waste from pond water using a rotating screen. As the screen becomes dirty, the system cleans itself by flushing away debris and detritus, helping to reduce manual filter maintenance and keep your pond water clearer.

What size filter should I get for my pond?

Filter size is usually based on your pond volume and the number of koi you keep. As a general guide, it’s best to choose a filter that can handle at least the full volume of your pond, or slightly higher if you have a heavily stocked pond. This helps to ensure the filter system can cope with waste levels and maintain consistent water clarity.
