Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Which FiltoClear model do I need for my pond?
A: Choose based on your pond size and fish load. The FiltoClear 3400 handles ponds up to 3,400 gallons with light fish loads (water gardens with few fish), 1,700 gallons with medium fish loads (moderate goldfish population), or 850 gallons with heavy fish loads (koi ponds). The 5200 and 8200 models handle progressively larger ponds. If you have koi or many fish, always size up—your fish will thank you! When in doubt, more filtration capacity is always better than less.

Q: How does the Easy-Clean backflushing work?
A: It's incredibly simple! Instead of opening the filter and manually cleaning the foams, you just turn the 2-way valve handle. This reverses the water flow, backflushing debris out of the filter foams and directing the dirty water to waste (usually to a drain or garden area). The entire cleaning process takes about 30 seconds and you never have to touch dirty filter foam or open the unit. Clean your filter weekly or when you notice reduced flow—it's that easy!

Q: Can I bury this filter to hide it in my landscape?
A: Yes! The FiltoClear's impact-resistant body can be buried up to the locking rings, leaving only the top portion visible. For a completely hidden installation, add an OASE FiltoCap (sold separately) which perfectly camouflages the filter to look like a natural rock in your landscape. This is perfect for formal gardens, pondless waterfalls, or anywhere you want the beauty of water without visible equipment. Just make sure the backflush valve and UV monitoring window remain accessible for maintenance.
