PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 

The MF113010 is a general purpose, mechanical / biological filter system. It is designed to filter the water 
and promote healthy bacteria that will provide a balanced environment in your pond. This filter is designed 
to work with a water pump that can circulate a minimum of 200 gallons per hour. As a pre-filter, the 
MF13010 reduces pond debris and particulate before they enter the pump and other pond accessories. 
This pre-filtration reduces the clogging of your pump and accessories and minimizes the need for cleaning.
