FAQ
How often should I backwash?
Weekly during peak season. The manual agitator makes it quick—typically 2-3 minutes.
When should I replace the UV bulb?
Annually at season start, even if still glowing. UV output diminishes over time.
Can I use this with a waterfall?
Yes, pressure filters maintain pressure to push water uphill. Keep pump flow under 2,000 GPH.
What size pump do I need?
For a 2,000-gallon pond, use a pump rated 1,000-2,000 GPH for optimal turnover.
Is the Bio-Matrix media replaceable?
It's designed for long-term use. Rinse gently during seasonal maintenance to preserve bacteria colonies.
