How It Works

Water flows through the pressure filter where mechanical filtration removes debris and particles, while the Springflo biological media provides a home for beneficial bacteria that break down harmful waste. The integrated UV clarifier neutralizes free-floating algae for crystal-clear water. The pressurized design allows for flexible installation options, including partial burial for a natural look.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Which model do I need for my pond?
A: Choose based on your pond size and pump capacity. LP1000 for up to 1,000 gallons, LP2000 for up to 2,000 gallons, LP3000 for up to 3,000 gallons, and LP4000 for up to 4,000 gallons. Match the model to your pump's GPH rating for optimal performance.

Q: What is backwashing and how often do I need to do it?
A: Backwashing reverses water flow to flush out accumulated debris from the filter media. The visible indicator on the filter tells you when backwashing is needed, typically every few weeks during the active season depending on your pond's debris load.

Q: Can I bury this filter?
A: Yes! The filter can be partially buried to conceal it in your landscape while keeping the top accessible for maintenance. This creates a more natural-looking pond installation.

Q: What is Springflo filter media?
A: Springflo is Savio's patented ribbon-style biological filter media that provides maximum surface area for beneficial bacteria colonization while resisting clogging and channeling.

Q: Does the UV bulb need to be replaced?
A: Yes, UV bulbs should be replaced annually for optimal performance. Even if the bulb still glows, UV output diminishes over time, reducing effectiveness.

Q: What size hose does this accept?
A: The inlet/outlet barbs accept multiple hose sizes for installation flexibility. Check your pump's discharge size and choose compatible tubing for your setup.

Q: Is this suitable for koi ponds?
A: Yes! The Livingpond Pressure Filter provides excellent mechanical and biological filtration for koi ponds. Choose the model that matches your pond size and fish load for best results.

Q: How do I know when the UV is working?
A: The filter features a glowing monitor that indicates when the UV light is functioning properly, giving you peace of mind that your water clarification system is working.
