FILTER CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
When a drop in performance is noted, the need for filter cleaning is the most
common reason. Cleaning intervals depend on your pond environment.
The foam filters will need replacement seasonally at minimum, and are available in
various materials. See our website for details on all replacement parts.
The biological media should not be replaced if you are keeping a balanced pond.
It will require cleaning of excess debris, but the beneficial bacteria remains.
The ceramic media will degrade over time and can be replaced. The two part
“Snap Sealed Bio-Balls” can be opened to refill the ceramic media.
We recommend Microbe-Lift brand products to “charge up” the Filters’
biological components with the beneficial bacteria necessary to convert waste
and pollutants into healthy by-products that further support a balanced pond.
If you are placing the filter in a hard to access part of the pond, we suggest
attaching a natural jute string to the unit to aid in adjustments and maintenance.
1. Rinse foam filter pads with clean water outside of pond.
2. Filter pads that are hard to clean should be replaced.
3. Clean the bio-media by rinsing with clean water outside the pond.
4. Cleaning agents or chemicals should not be used.
5. If storing the filter for winter, it should be dry and clean. Recharge the
filter with beneficial bacteria for start up in the spring.
