"LOGICAL POND FILTERS"

  These biological, mechanical and chemical pond filters were developed as a result of years of experimentation in our Koi holding and breeding facilities.

     A number of items need to be taken into consideration when deciding the unit that will satisfy the needs of you and your fish. Some things to consider are pond size, density and size of fish, amount of direct sunlight, the number of trees and shrubs in the surrounding area, volume of aquatic plants in the pond, feeding frequency and general weather conditions. Our filters are built and designed to work either at pond level or above the water level of the pond, however, they can be modified to run at or below water level if needed.

     The filter is designed to produce a maximum of biological, mechanical and optional chemical filtration with a minimum of maintenance. The first stage uses horizontally placed semi rigid 1 1/4" open cell filter mat with 1" spacing between them. This eliminates clogging and gives unrestricted water flow to encourage biological and mechanical separation. The second stage is a series of 1" dense filter mats for water polishing, these light weight mats can be hosed off with a minimum of effort. If you have a liner pond, you may wish to have a pH buffer chamber (filled with coral gravel or oyster shell) this would be the last stage in the filter. The pH buffer tray can be used for zeolite or carbon, instead of coral gravel. An optional bio tower will increase your carrying capacity by a further 40 to 50%. It's operation is principally biological and uses our line of oxygen enhancing bio stars. The bio unit is placed in front and on top of the basic filter box.

     Each filter chamber has bottom drains with knife valves for ease of cleaning and draining. The filter box is constructed using 3/4" fiberglassed plywood, with a sliding glass top to eliminate debris getting into filter unit. If your pond is in direct sunlight, you may require an UV sterilization system.

      Filters are manufactured by West Coast Koi Farm and are state of the art, plus are extremely user-friendly as well.

 

For the serious Koi pond owner these filters are the best commercial made available.

PONDWORKS® by LITTLE GIANT

BioVortTM Filter Systems

PondWorks water garden system introduces the latest innovation in pond filtration: the BioVort filter. Designed and manufactured by Little Giant, the Biovort filter combines biological and mechanical filtration to provide clearer water, a healthier environment and less maintenance in your pond.

little_giant_biovort_small.gif (9925 bytes)           little_giant_biovort_large.gif (10354 bytes) 

 

BioVort Biological Filters

The key to the BioVort's effectiveness is its unique Vortex technology. As water enters the filter at the bottom of the canister, the BioVort's Vortex separator spins and evenly distributes the water across a series of filter pads (FC-1200 and FC-2400 models only).

  • Vortex separator uniformly separates and disperses solids across filter pads

  • Up-flow design helps settle solids for less maintenance

  • Biological Media promote growth of beneficial bacteria

  • Multiple stages provide maximum filtration

Sinking Tubular Media

Sinking Tubular Media for most Sand Filters

For pond owners who wish to use sand filters, Pacific Ponds Plus can supply you with replacement media. Sinking Tubular media works well as a replacement for sand in most pool filters. With unique shape and light weight this media passes high flow without excessive plugging while allowing for easy backwashing. Tubular Replacement Media is manufactured with small fins along its outside surface and is extruded with internal vanes to give the media an extremely high surface area. Used to replace sand in filters, this media increases flow and allows use of energy efficient low head pumps such as the SuperFalls KJ11000LHC or other. Works well with sand filters which use multi-port valve with ports which will retain the media within the filter tank. You will need to look at the bottom of the multi-port valve and verify that the exhaust ports on it's underside will not pass the media during backwash. The screening under the multi-port valve should have a maximum size of 1/8 inch in the slits to prevent the loss of media when backwashed.

To determine the how many cubic feet of Sinking Tubular Replacement Media for your sand filter is for every 100 lbs. of Sand will equal 1 cu. ft. of media.

Having the right filter material

Water is one of the most precious elements on earth. Freshwater is rare and precious. The water purification of sea water aquariums is not easy and requires special care. Every time we use water for artificial habitats and in order to create a natural environment for fish, plants and, of course, for us this water requires a special purification process. The quality of a body of water determines the development or decrease of these organisms. Aquaclay® substantially contributes to keep the biological balance of these artificially created aquatic environments. Aquaclay® is an all natural product created for the biological balance. Due to its special manufacture process, Aquaclay® has a highly porous core and surface giving bacteria the ideal area to grow and support colonisation. Bacterial population contained in the biofilter contributes to clear and maintained water in ponds, it removes and controls algae blooms needed to ensure the survival and health of fish and plants in which they will thrive and bloom.

 

Aquaclay®
  • Is an all natural product

  • Supports water circulation

  • Is the only biological filter material with a round shape

  • Allows a high performance of the filter system 

  • Is easy to clean, prevents rot and is reusable

  • The filter pores reach a size up to 280 sqm

  • Influences positively the growth of plants

  • Is available in different grain sizes, therefore is
    suitable for different applications.

MULTICYCLONE FILTER

New for 2008

Multicyclone is a pre-filtration device that is capable of saving water and reducing filter maintenance. The Multicyclone works on the basis of centrifugal water filtration. There are no moving parts to wear and tear, and no filter media to clean or replace. Multicyclone pre-filter can be installed in ponds that use either a submersible or external pump for their filter system. The Multicyclone pre-filter works extremely well when using a sand or bead filter for your pond for it will cut down on frequency of backwashing as well as saves you water.

Centrifugal Filtration

  1. Incoming water  enters 16 hydro cyclones tangentially, generating a strong centrifugal effect.

  2. The sediment is spun out to the hydro cyclone's wall, and then spirals down to the sediment bowl.

  3. The filtered water migrates towards the center of the hydro cyclone where the flow reverses and spirals upwards through the outlet.

  4. Accumulation of sediment can be visibly monitored through the Multicyclone's clear sediment bowl.

  5. The Multicyclone is easily cleaned by opening the valve.

Only 4 gallons / 15 litres of water is discharged to cleanse the Multicyclone.

The Multicyclone pre-filter comes with two 2 inch black pvc unions, one 1 inch black pvc union, 12 inch black pvc pipe and 1 inch black sediment purge ball valve.

Specifications

Multicyclone Height with attached Unions 29-3/4 inches
Multicyclone Width 12 inches
Minimum Flow Rate 13 gpm / 50 lpm
Maximum Flow Rate 132 gpm / 500 lpm
Maximum Pressure 58 psi, 400 kPa / 4 bar

 

Multicyclone pre-filters available in early February  2008, can reserve your unit now  and will ship when they arrive. Free Shipping within Canada.

POND SURFACE SKIMMERS

 

Skimmer.JPG (85418 bytes)Adding a surface skimmer to your pond will cut down your daily maintenance of removing floating debris from the surface of your pond and also can reduce surface tension of your pond. The skimmer inlet weir always floats just below the surface so fluctuating water levels of up to 5 inches will not affect its performance. The catch basket will hold about two handfuls of leaves and lifts out easily for cleaning. Skimmer is rated between 20 - 55 gpm and is great for ornamental ponds plus can be used in siphon and gravity flow applications.

Skimmer comes with 1 1/2" male adapter

Price: $120.00

 

LITTLE GIANT POND SYSTEMS

Biological Waterfall Filters

Little Giant Waterfall Filters will solve all your filtration concerns and are perfect when combined with a Water Garden Skimmer. While the Waterfall Filter is a very effective biological filter its main feature is providing a natural looking waterfall. The water weir (where the pond water exits the filter) allows the water to naturally "fall". In addition, plant baskets can be placed on top of the biological media creating additional filtration and a natural disguise. Along with other functions as pond oxygenation and a stream source.

Pond and Water Garden Skimmers

 

Little Giant Water Garden Skimmers are the most efficient, convenient and effective way to create a beautiful water garden. They can be used on any size water garden or Koi pond to make installation a breeze and significantly reduce maintenance. Installed during construction of your pond or it can be added to an existing water garden or Koi Pond. The skimmer provides complete water garden or pond surface cleaning removing unwanted grass, leaves, etc. For a complete and efficient system connect the skimmer along with the Biological waterfall filter to achieve a fully filtered water garden or Koi Pond.

SAVIO PRODUCTS

 

Savio Skimmers

 

One of the best skimmers you could have for your pond is the Savio Skimmer.

The Savio Skimmer base unit can be used in ponds up to 8,000 gallons. For larger ponds the installation of two Savio's will easily take care of skimming your pond surface water.

There are three different size skimmer weir inlets used for different sized ponds and flows. you can install this skimmer in either concrete ponds or liner ponds.

The Savio skimmer can be used as the total filtration for ponds up to 1,000 gallons. By using a single Savio for smaller ponds helps reduce plumbing and eliminates need for extra equipment. For ponds that are slightly larger in size you can simply add one of  Savio's Livingponds biological filters.

Also for the smaller pond is a more compact skimmer filter which is smaller than the original Savio Skimmer with the same performance and features. takes up less room for those
