A closer look at the technology
What is a pressure filter and how do I set up the filter system?
Pressure filters maintain the pump pressure of the upstream filter pump throughout the system. This also allows a higher water return flow to be created, for example in the form of a watercourse. Pressure filter systems always consist of two components: Firstly, the filter pump in the pond, which carries the dirty water to the pressure filter. Secondly, the pressure filter. We sell FiltoClear on its own or as a set with the AquaMax Eco Premium filter pump. There is also the option of adding a surface skimmer to your filter system. The skimmer is connected to the filter pump in the pond.
How does the FiltoClear pressure filter work?
The upstream filter pump constantly transports the water to the FiltoClear. First, filter sponges with various pore sizes inside the pressure filter provide mechanical and biological cleaning. Clarifying microorganisms can settle particularly well on the fine-pored sponges. The water then reaches the centre of the filter. There, a powerful UVC lamp removes bacteria, floating algae and microorganisms. The purified water leaves the FiltoClear and flows back into the pond via an elevated watercourse.
