OASE Filtofall Pond Filters For More Natural Looking Pond Filters
Remember what I've said numerous times ... a pond filter is nothing more than a place to biomedia so that millions and millions of bacteria can be provided with surface area to cling to (the more surface area the better because then you can grow more bacteria). When pond water is circulated across this biomedia the bacteria in the pond filter consume the ammonia impurities and convert them to nitrate fertilizers for use by plants in a pond.
To make a pond filter less obtrusive it would be a good idea to include a pond
filter below ground with water flowing out through a spillway into a pond.
That's what the Oase Filtofall does
A clever way to include a bio fiter system into a pond with a waterfall is to use a Filter Fall. The water from the pond pump runs through the Filter Fall which contains biomedia and overflows back into the pond via a lip or spillway. The width of the spillway determines the waterfall flow that the system can handle best.
Filtofall gives a biologically effective, natural looking waterfall to your pond . Included inside the Filtofall filter is a filter basket through which water is forced up from below, this filter basket has enough space for the root system to develop freely. Another great thing about the OASE filtofall is, there is no need to take it out and clean during the winter season because it is frost-proof!
