Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which FilterFalls model do I need?
A: Choose based on your pond size and fish load. Larger ponds and higher fish populations require larger models for adequate filtration.
Q: Can I expand the filter capacity later?
A: Yes, FilterFalls are designed to expand as ponds age and fish grow. The oversized chamber accommodates additional filtration media when needed.
Q: What is biomechanical filtration?
A: Biomechanical filtration combines mechanical filtration (removing particles) with biological filtration (converting toxins). This provides both clear water and a healthy pond environment.
Q: How does the overhanging weir prevent leaks?
A: The overhanging weir with drip edge eliminates reliance on silicone seals, which can fail over time. Water flows over the weir naturally without seal-dependent connections.
Q: What is included with the FilterFalls?
A: Each unit includes installation kit, male thread adapter, one-piece liner flange, heavy-duty top grate, support bars, media bag, dual Bio-Tech filter mats, and bottom grate.
Q: Can I camouflage the FilterFalls?
A: Yes, the heavy-duty top grate and support bars accommodate stone and gravel for natural camouflaging in your landscape.
