POND ACCESSORIES:
1.
BIO-FILTER,
Inline Type:
Bio-Filters provide mechanical and biological pond filtration for a cleaner and healthier pond
environment. They efficiently process waste and clarify the pond water as well as reducing ammonia, nitrates and nitrites
in the pond by promoting rapid growth of beneficial bacteria. Bio-filters provide more efficient filtration of the pond water
as compared to just a mechanical type filter. Bio-filters provide a clean, healthy pond ecosystem that is ideal for ponds
with fish.
2.
PRE-BIO-FILTER
, Pond Pump Intake:
This type of bio-filter attaches to the pond pump intake and offers the con-
sumer these additional benefits over inline type bio-filter systems. A compact design that is completely submersible in
the pond, greater filter surface area with easy to service filter material, superior ability to be camouflaged into the pond
setting environment and does not offer the opportunity to leak water from the pond that inline types do because of hose
connections and seals.
3.
UV CLARIFIER
, Inline Type:
UV Clarifiers emit germicidal ultraviolet light thru the bulb to help clarify green water
associated with free-floating algae as well as providing a healthier pond environment with increased water clarity. The UV
light bulb and quartz sleeve eradicate single-celled algae, harmful microorganisms and other pond water contaminants.
4.
BIO-FILTER with UV CLARIFIER
, Inline:
Provides the benefits of a bio-filter while also providing the additional
benefits of a UV clarifier in a single package; see bio-filter and UV clarifier listed above for benefits.
WATER FEATURES:

SPITTERS:
Spitters attach to your existing pond pump with a vinyl hose and provide a secondary water feature by re-
turning water back into the pond as a tube of water. These are easy to install and provide the least expensive secondary
water feature you can add to your existing pond. They come in many varieties, forms and shapes; most set on the side of
the pond but floating versions are also available.
6.
WATER COURSE/STREAM:
These are normally molded plastic and may be provided with a rock looking texture for
a more natural look. Some of these are multi-leveled to add emphasis to the water flow. Installation is fairly simple and
attach to your existing pond pump with a vinyl hose. Sizes vary from 12” to 48” in length and may be purchased in many
different forms and shapes.
7.
SMALL WATERFALL:
These are normally molded plastic and come in different sizes and configurations. They hook
up to your existing pump with vinyl hose and return water to your pond as a wall/stream of water. Some of these are
simple to install and blend into the pond environment while others are a little more involved and may require rocks and
shrubs to help blend in for a natural look.
8.
MEDIUM WATER FALL:
These are normally molded plastic and come in different sizes and configurations. Consum-
ers who install these also install skimmer filter systems. These are installed on liner type ponds and use a dedicated pond
pump to power this type of water feature. These are more involved to install and blend into the pond environment. These
systems require some knowledge and ability to install.
9.
FOUNTAIN ART:
Normally found as a cast resin figurine that attaches to your existing pond pump with a vinyl hose
and provides a secondary water feature by returning water back into the pond as an accent type feature. These are larger
than spitters and also provide an art type feature to your pond. These come in many varieties, forms and shapes which
may be 12 to 18 inches tall.
