FAQ
Q: What size pond will this filter?
A: The Small Aquafalls is designed for ponds up to 1,000 gallons. For larger ponds, consider the Medium or Large Aquafalls models.
Q: Which version should I buy - with or without Matala pads?
A: Choose the version with Matala pads (AS2T) if you're setting up a new system or need replacement media. Choose without pads (AST) if you already have compatible filter media.
Q: What are Matala pads?
A: Matala pads are high-quality filter media that provide both mechanical filtration (capturing debris) and biological filtration (surface area for beneficial bacteria). They're durable, easy to clean, and highly effective.
Q: How often do I need to clean the filter?
A: Clean the filter media when you notice reduced water flow, typically every 2-4 weeks during the active season. Simply rinse the Matala pads with pond water to remove debris.
Q: What pump size do I need?
A: For optimal performance, use a pump that delivers 500-1,000 gallons per hour. Check the pump's flow rate at the height of your waterfall to ensure adequate performance.
Q: Is this safe for fish?
A: Absolutely! The Aquafalls provides biological filtration that creates a healthy environment for fish by breaking down harmful waste products into safer compounds.
Q: How do I attach my pond liner?
A: The included termination strip secures your pond liner to the Aquafalls unit. Simply fold your liner over the edge and attach it using the termination strip for a watertight seal.
Q: Can I bury this unit?
A: Yes, the Aquafalls can be partially buried or disguised with rocks and plants to create a natural-looking waterfall that blends into your landscape.
