FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do I need to add any additional bacteria to my pond or my filter?
No, your Ultima II filter comes pre-seeded with natural bacteria to help the filter establish itself.
Do I
need to add additional biological or mechanical filtration to my pond?
Not unless your pond has a lot of large debris (i.e. leaves, pine needles, string algae). If you have large debris in your
pond a leaf basket or other pre-filtration system is recommended.
Can I
bury my filter?
No
How often do
I
have to Backwash?
It is recommended to backwash your filter once a week, however, depending on your fish load and feed rate it may be
necessary to backwash more often, or less often. After a few weeks you will begin to notice how often it is necessary for
your own pond.
How often do
I
have to replace the media?
Never, the media does not have to be replaced.
How often do
I
need to drain out the sludge?
Never, due to the exceptional backwashing system exclusive to our filters, all the waste is expelled through the waste
line, and thoroughly cleans the filter eliminating the need for a sludge valve.
Can I
medicate while the filter is running?
No, due to the non-specific nature of most medications on the market any medication designed to eliminate harmful bac­
teria in your pond would also destroy any beneficial bacteria inside your filter. If you need to medicate for any reason,
you may set the valve to recirculate which will bypass the filter entirely and run through the valve only.
What is the maximum flow rate through my filter?
20,400 GPH
What size pump should
I
use?
Your pump will need to be an external direct drive pump that can meet the specifications shown for each filter. See chart
Page 4.
What's the flow loss through the filter?
The filter flow loss ranges from 5-10 ft. of head, depending on how dirty the filter is.
Do I need to oversize my filter?
No, our filters were designed to handle heavy fish loads and heavy feed rates.
Do
I
need a pre-filter?
In situations where heavy waste like pine needles, large leaves, etc. are present a pre-filter is recommended.
Do I need to run my filter 24 hours a day?
Yes, the filter converts ammonia from fish waste into harmless compounds creating a safe environment for your fish.
