Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the automatic screen cleaning work?
A: The rotating drum screen continuously filters debris from pond water. When the screen becomes clogged, it automatically rotates and rinses debris to a waste line, eliminating manual cleaning.
Q: Do I need a separate pump for the Screenmatic?
A: The Biotec Screenmatic 2 is gravity-fed, requiring only your existing pond pump to push water to the filter. Water then flows by gravity through the filtration stages and back to the pond.
Q: How often do I need to clean the filter?
A: The automatic screen cleaning eliminates daily maintenance. You'll only need to perform seasonal maintenance on the biological media chambers, typically once or twice per year.
Q: Can I use this with a bottom drain?
A: Yes, the Biotec Screenmatic 2 works excellently with bottom drain installations, providing superior mechanical screening of debris before biological filtration.
Q: What's included with the filter?
A: The Biotec Screenmatic 2 includes the filter housing, rotating drum screen, biological filter media, and all necessary fittings for installation. UV clarifier sold separately.
