Your simple guide to selecting a
filter for your pond
A filter cleans the
water in your pond by removing any debris or fish waste from the
water and breaks down the invisible toxins in the water, resulting
in a clean and healthy environment for your plants and
fish.
Choose the correct
filter for your pond by following our simple filter
tips:
Basic Filters
The cheapest
pond filters to buy, theses filters will remove any suspended
solids from the water in your pond. They will not destroy the algae
in the water so your pond may still look green. But they will make
the water safe for your fish.
Clear Water Guaranteed
Ultraviolet
box filters use foams to remove all suspended solids from the water
and UV lights to destroy the algae in the water. These filters
should be positioned at the top of your pond system – for
most people this means putting the filter at the top of your
waterfall.
Discrete Filtration
Where you
want the filter to be out of site choose from our range of
pressurised pond filters. These filters are designed so they can be
hidden or partially buried making them the most discrete pond
filters available.
Specialist Koi
Filters
If you keep
koi you will want a filter that provides both outstanding
performance, so your fish have the very best water quality and you
will be able to see them perfectly. The koi filters we stock not
only provide this but are also quick and easy to
maintain.
Once you have
selected the type of filter you want for your pond, use the flow
rate (lph) from the pond volume calculator to choose the correct
size of filter.

Whatever filter you select you will need a pump
to carry the water to it. Select the correct size of pump to match
your filter – if the pump is too large your filter will be
flooded, if too small the filter will not work correctly to clean
the water.
When buying a
filter and pump at the same time for your pond, save money by
buying one of our pump and filter kits.
