How It Works
Water flows into the FilterWeir where it passes through bio-mechanical filtration media that supports beneficial bacteria colonies. These bacteria help break down harmful waste, improving water quality. After filtration, water cascades over the 16" spillway, creating a beautiful waterfall curtain while returning clean, oxygenated water to your pond.
Installation Options
The 16" FilterWeir offers versatile installation possibilities. Use a single unit for a classic 16" waterfall, install two units side-by-side to create a dramatic 32" wide waterfall, or arrange multiple weirs in a stair-step pattern to create a multi-tiered cascading waterfall feature. The injection-molded design makes retrofitting to existing ponds simple and straightforward.
