Why Pond Filtering is Important
Pond filtering helps to maintain a healthy pond ecosystem by removing excess nutrients, debris, and other harmful substances that can accumulate over time. This can prevent the growth of harmful bacteria and algae, which can lead to poor water quality and health issues for fish and other aquatic life. Additionally, a well-maintained filter can help to improve the overall appearance of the pond and make it a more pleasant place to visit.
About the FiltoClear 13000
The OASE FiltoClear 13000 is a premium pressurised filter for garden pond water-quality maintenance. It is ideal in Koi and Goldfish ponds.
Pond suitability:
- Ponds with no fish up to 13m3 (13,000 litres)
- Goldfish ponds up to 7m3 (7,000 litres)
Features of the FiltoClear 13000:
- Enhanced filtration: It uses multiple layers of patented filter foam technology to provide mechanical and biological filtration, removing debris and harmful substances from the water.
- Easy to clean: The pressurized design allows for easy cleaning by using the top handle to squeeze the filter foams, redirecting the outlet flow to pump out dirty water.
- UV sterilization: The integrated 24 watt UV lamp sterilizes the water to help control algae growth, and can be replaced easily.
- Energy-efficient pump: The premium pond filter typically comes with an energy-efficient pump that optimizes flow and reduces energy consumption.
- Aesthetically pleasing: The high-quality housing can be partially buried and the return pipe can be elevated for a stream or waterfall return to the pond, improving the overall appearance of the pond.
The FiltoClear 13000 is recommended to be used with:
- Pump: AquaMax Eco Premium 8000
- Flexible Hose: Fits sizes 1 ½” (38mm) and 2” (50mm)
A pump and hose is required with this item, as water is required to be pumped through the FiltoClear. This product is also available as a pump and filter set.
