Installing a pond ﬁlter

A filter keeps your pond water clean

and safe for your fish. If you get the

right one then you'll never have

green water again.

All filters need a pump to push the water

from the pond and into the filter. They contain

various types of media that clean the water

mechanically (like a coffee filter) or biologically

(using friendly bacteria).

Almost all filters come with an Ultra Violet

Clarifier (UVC), that stops the pond going green.

You'll need to clean the filter out from time to

time when the flow out of it is reduced. Always

clean the media with pond water to protect the

friendly bacteria.

Most UVC filters come with a 3 metre cable to

connect them to the mains. Unlike pond pumps

this cable can easily be replaced if a longer one

is needed.

The bulb in your UVC filter should be replaced

every spring (even if it still lights up).

What size filter do I need?

Your filter's maximum flow rate should

be at least as much as the output from

your pump.

If your chosen filter is bigger (i.e. has

a higher maximum flow rate) than you

need then that's fine, it means you'll have

to clean it out less often.

To work out what pump flow rate you

need turn to page 6, to look up the flow

rate of your pump turn to pages 28-33.

Ultraviolet Clarifiers (UVC)

UVC's work together with a pump

and a filter. Separate UVC's like those

on pages 54-56 are for adding to an

existing pump and filter system which

doesn't already have a UVC or a system

where the UVC needs replacing.
