FAQ
Q: Which configuration should I choose?
A: Choose the Small Base without chlorinator (SMC120S) if you want natural filtration for koi ponds or water gardens. Choose the Medium Base with chlorinator (SMC120M) if you need chemical sanitization for swim ponds or high-debris environments.
Q: What size pond will this system filter?
A: The PCF120 cartridge filter is suitable for larger ponds. Exact capacity depends on fish load, debris levels, and desired water clarity. Contact us for specific sizing recommendations for your pond.
Q: Does this come fully assembled?
A: Yes! The system arrives pre-assembled and pre-plumbed on a skid base. You simply need to connect your pond plumbing to the inlet and outlet, and connect power to the pump.
Q: How often do I need to clean the cartridge filter?
A: Clean the cartridge when you notice reduced flow, typically every 2-4 weeks during the active season depending on debris load. Simply remove the cartridge and rinse with a garden hose.
Q: What is the bypass line for?
A: The bypass line allows you to divert water around the filter during maintenance or to adjust flow rates without shutting down the entire system.
Q: How does the chlorinator work?
A: The inline chlorinator (included with SMC120M model) slowly dissolves chlorine tablets as water passes through, providing continuous sanitization. Adjust the flow rate through the chlorinator to control chlorine levels.
Q: What are the base dimensions?
A: The Small Base (SMC120S) measures 16" x 22". The Medium Base with chlorinator (SMC120M) measures 33" x 33". Ensure you have adequate space for installation and maintenance access.
Q: Can I use this for a koi pond?
A: Absolutely! The PCF120 cartridge filter provides excellent mechanical filtration for larger koi ponds. For koi, we recommend the model without chlorinator (SMC120S) to avoid chemical exposure.
