EXTREME 50 – GARDEN POND FILTER
Extreme 50 filter is a biological and mechanical garden pond filter. The filter should be placed on the edge of or nearby the
water pond. Requires the use of a water pump with the maximum capacity of 15,000 l/h (garden fountain pump Kaskada
15 000 AQUA SZUT). Optimal water flow 8000-15000l/h. Water flows through the filter and leaves the mechanical dirt and
toxic substances on different layers. The filter ensures perfect condition for the development of micro organisms (protozoon,
bacteria and other micro organisms), which live in a water pond in normal conditions and are save and can grow into big co-
lonies in the filter. In exchange for constant oxygen and nourishment inflow, these organisms clear the water streaming thro-
ugh the filter. Extreme 50 is designed to be installed outside a pond for ensuring easy access for the maintenance works.
FILTER OPERATION:
Extreme 50 filter must work 24 hours a day throughout the year, except for frost periods, when the water could freeze
(winter time). It’s recommended to install a preliminary filter on the water suction inlet of the pump (Filter 100 is ideal).
Improvement of water quality should be noticeable after 2-3 months of the working of the filter or even faster, depending
on the fish and plants placed in the pond. By using the UV Algae Eliminator (UV-lamp) parallel to Extreme 50 you will gain
better filter effects and much higher efficiency. It’s better not to use the UV-lamp in the early phase of filter operation (2 – 3
weeks), it will stop the development of the bacterial flora in the filter. Extreme 50 is recommended for water ponds with the
capacity of 50 000 litres.
FILTRATION:
Chamber 1 [11] – mechanical filtration
Water flows inside the filter through the water inlet [12] in the first filtration chamber [11], and then through the grille [8] onto
filtrating brushes [7] which block the largest impurities. Then the water flows through a coir mat [6] and sponge [3] acting
as mechanical filters.
Upon initial mechanical filtration, water overflows through three outlets [10] to the second filtration chamber [23]
Chamber 2 [23] – mechanical and biological filtration, intense water oxygenation.
When entering the second chamber [23] with significant force, through outlets [10], the water is enriched with oxygen requ-
ired for the creation of microorganisms.
Then, the water flows through the grille [21] and the coir mat [20] (mechanical filtration), filtration sponge [19] (removal of
tiny mechanical impurities) and the BIO-sponge [15] (mechanical and biological filtration).
Upon oxygenation, as well as mechanical and biological filtration, the water flows out through outlets [22], to the third
chamber.
Chamber 3 [26] – biological filtration
Upon entering the third chamber [26] through inlets [22], the water passes through the porous cartridge [24] and BIO-balls
[25]. Both of them act as large-surface biological filters enabling the settlement and growth of microorganisms. The filtered
water leaves chamber number three through three outlets [29], directly to the garden pond.
Chamber number three is equipped with a high positioned safety water outlet [28] draining the water to the garden pond
if the filter contamination level is too high. During regular filter operation with a pump (15,000 l/h maximum), water should
only be oozing from the outlet.
If the water leaves the outlet [28] in the form of a strong stream, the filtration cartridges are contaminated or the capacity
of the pump is too high.
Installation
Prior to commencing installation of the filter, remove the lid [1] from the first chamber [11] by unfastening the clamps [2],
remove the individual filtration cartridges and rinse them with tap water. Then rinse the cartridges from individual chambers.
Once the cartridges have been rinsed, when installing the filter take care to position the individual chambers and their filtra-
tion cartridges in the right sequence. Proper installation will ensure correct and trouble-free operation of the filter.
The filter is to be located on a flat surface, next to the pond, or within a small distance from the pond.
The filter must be positioned above water surface and must be perfectly level – otherwise it may overflow, and the water
may be pumped out of the pond.
If the filter is positioned away from the pond, water outlets [29] and the safety outlet [28] need to be connected to hoses
used to feed the water back to the pond. The hoses must be level or must be positioned downwards, towards the pond
The water outlets must not be joined with a tee section enabling the use of a single hose only, nor must any of the outlets

6. Place the cartridges in the filter, remembering about the correct sequence of the cartridges and the chambers.
7. Turn the pump (and the algae eliminator) on and check if the water flows correctly through the filter and pops into
the pond.
The cleaning of the whole filter should be done exceptionally. To protect all micro organisms, which developed on the
insets, it’s recommended to rinse the sponges and the coconut mat rarely, 2-3 times a year, and the biological inst not
more often than once a year, off season.
Always remember to unplug the pump and the Algae Eliminator before starting any works in the pond!
PROBLEMS, WHICH CAN OCCUR WHILE FILTER IS OPERATING:
You should be able to see improvement in the water quality after 2-3 month of continuous filter work, if it didn’t occur,
check:
- Have you chosen the correct filter size for your pond? Extreme 50 filter is designed for garden ponds with the capacity
of ca. 50 000 litres.
Garden pond size [l] = average length (m) x average width (m) x average depth (m) x 1000
- Have you chose the correct pump with an adequate output? Optimal water flow through the filter is 8000-15000 l of
water per hour.
- Is the filter working 24 hours a day, throughout the year, except for the days when water could freeze? Has the filter
been turned off in the last time?
-Are you fish eating all the food you’re giving them? Remember, the fish should eat their food within not more than 2-3
minutes.
- Aren’t there too many fishes in your garden pond?
- Are there enough plants and shade in your pond?
- Are there enough plants and shade in your pond? It’s recommended to plant around 5 bunches of plants on every m2
of the surface. It is important to have plants, which shade efficiently the garden pond surface – water lilies and marginal
plants in sunny places are ideal for this purpose.
- Have you used grass and water plants fertilizers lately and have you been using chemicals to fight algae? Remember,
all chemicals destroy bacteria cultivation, which work for the water quality in your garden pond!
- Doesn’t your garden pond need some partial water replacements, and maybe the water is so dirty, that it has to be
replaced completely?
If you checked everything already, you can also proceed as follows:
Raise the filter water supply at least 20 cm above the bottom surface or control the chemical balance in the garden pond
with a tester. Water with too much alkali or too much acid can decrease the organism activity in the filter.
DISASSEMBLY AND WITHDRAWAL FROM USE:
„The producer of waste” - that is the user of the filter, at the moment of liquidating the product or replacing the worn-out
parts, shall take the following actions:
- parts that are good for further use shall be subjected to reclaiming or stored,
- rubber, plastic elements, etc. shall be delivered to the recycling centers, or handled according to the local prescriptions
on treating metallic, inorganic, organic or mixed waste.
NOTE: The manufacturer, that is the company AQUA-SZUT Sp. z o.o. having its offices in Wroclaw, reserves the right
