UV-BIO Pressurized Pond Filter 2000 gal

The best thing about these filters is that they can lift water up to a waterfall or stream. They do this because these are enclosed and sealed with clamps therefore when the water is pushed up from the submersible pump into the filters inlet, pressure is built up inside the filter and will push the water through tubing up to a your water feature. It is recommended that you refrain from lifting water more than 3-4 ft of total head lift from the filter up the point of discharge. There is another great feature on these pressurized filters and that is a unique Powerclenz filter cleaning system.On the Fish Mate filters this is called Powerclenz and you would just turn the dial on the top of the filter to automatic cleaning of sponge filter elements. Simply turn the knob to position "CLEAN" and the foam will be squeezed. The water pressure forces out pond sludge which may then be used elsewhere in the garden as a fertilizer.

How it works:
Stage 1:
Algae Destruction. By slowly passing the single celled algae that cause 'green water' in front of U.V.-C light, the algae is caused to clump together and start to die.

Stage 2:
Mechanical Filtration. Specially developed, profiled filter sponge pads will trap algae clumps plus other large particles and are easily rinsed for regular maintenance by using the Prowerclenz automatic cleansing system.

Stage 3:
Biological Purification. After mechanical filtration, the pond water passes through Fish Mate SUPRA Biological Filter Medium, possessing over 100 times the biological surface area of conventional plastic media. The specific structure of SUPRA enables rapid growth of aerobic bacteria resulting in removal of lethal ammonia and nitrite.
