SweetwaterŽ Pond FilterEngineered by pond experts for small ponds flowing up to 5 gpm!
A number of simple design principles make the Sweetwater® pond filter very effective and simple to clean. It is a rugged, two-compartment, molded, black polyethylene tank with cover. It is only rated for 5 gpm, but you can use two or three in parallel for higher flows. - Pump up to 5 gpm into it.
- Water flows through an easy-to-clean pre-filter pad.
- Water flows down through finer filter pads.
- Water flows up through biofilter media.
- Water gravity flows back to the pond or through a UV light.
Should you neglect to clean the pre-filter when fouled, the water will simply bypass it through the overflow feature.
Cleaning is simple. Each compartment has layers of easily-removed media and at the bottom of each is a 1 1/2" quick drain (can be fitted with an optional valve). The biofilter media is 1 cu.ft. of Bio-Fill. Inlet is 1" FNPT, outlet is 1 1/2" FNPT. A heavy black molded lid is included. For the do-it-yourselfer, we sell the Sweetwater® pond filter without filter material. Made in USA. |
