Fish Mate Bio UV Filter 15000 Pond Filter

Bio UV Filter 15000 Pond Filter What is a Fish Mate Powerclenz UVC Pond filter?The Fish Mate Powerclenz Bio Filter range is made up of pressurised pond filters that use three-stage mechanical and biological filtration to remove fish waste and improve water clarity. Powered by a pond pump (sold separately) these pressurised filters combine convenience and efficacy with features like automatic cleaning and efficient UV bulb power usage. One of the best features these filters offer is the ability to be installed either below or above ground, letting you fit them into your garden discreetly to create a beautiful and healthy environment.How do Fish Mate Powerclenz Pond Filters filter pond water?Fish Mate incorporate a UV light clarifier into the filter to cleanse the water of algae cells. The cells are clumped together, making them much easier to dispose of via the filter media. Sponge mechanical filtration pads strain away particles of waste and dirt before the water passes through biological media, where microbes break down pond sludge and dirty water. The large surface mass of the bio media allows for optimum bacterial growth and the consumption of excess nitrates and ammonia from the water. This level of filtration makes these pond filters suitable for all ponds from small wildlife garden ponds to quite large Koi ponds.How do you clean a Fish Mate filter pump?The Powerclenz couldn't be easier to clean. Simply turn the automatic dial to 'clean' and highly pressurised water will squeeze the dirt and grime out of the filter foams. Sludge is passed through the waste outlet in the base of the filter for easy disposal, away from the now clean pond water. Fish Mate recommend cleaning this unit once a week in the warmer weather - it will not need such regular maintenance in the colder season.Which Fish Mate Pond Filter is right for me?We currently stock four models in the Fish Mate Pond Filter range:Fish Mate UV Filter 10000 Pond Filter - This pressurised pond filter is designed for small and medium ponds with a max flow rate of 5000lph.

Generally, pressurised pond filters are the most efficient choice for pond filtration and can be used as part of a water feature as they maintain pressure. If you need a powerful pond filter that can maintain water pressure, then a pressurised pond filter is ideal.
