How Pressurized Systems Work

By forcing water through dense media under pressure, these units achieve superior biological filtration in a compact footprint. Our systems utilize a professional three-stage approach:

1. Mechanical & Biological Stage

Water passes through multi-stage foam mats and K1/K3 Micro bio-media. This dual-action process traps fine debris while hosting massive colonies of beneficial bacteria to manage the nitrogen cycle.

2. Integrated UV-C Clarification

As water exits, an internal UV-C Clarifier neutralizes suspended algae and pathogens. This ensures "green-free" water without the need for external plumbing or bulky add-ons.

3. The Backwash (Easy-Clean) Advantage

Maintain your system in minutes. By turning a single valve, the Backwash function reverses the flow to flush out trapped sludge. This keeps your biological filtration at peak performance without manual scrubbing.

Expert Installation Tips:

Stealth Placement: Bury the filter up to its lid or hide it behind rocks. Since it is pressurized, it can be located away from the pond or even below water level.
Pump Matching: Pressure filters create "Head Loss." Ensure your waterfall pump has enough torque to push water through the media and up to your spillway.
Winter Resilience: For North American winters, drain the cylinder and store the UV-C quartz sleeve indoors to prevent ice damage.

Why Upgrade to a Pressurized System?

Traditional gravity filters require placement at the highest point of the pond, often creating an eyesore. A pressure filter eliminates this limitation. It is the ideal choice for Koi ponds and modern water features where aesthetic design is as important as water quality. Our UL/CSA certified units provide heavy-duty durability for years of continuous service.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pressure Filters

How deep can I bury a pressure filter?

You can bury the unit up to the lid clamp. This allows you to hide the body underground while keeping the control valves and UV-C head accessible for maintenance.

Does the Backwash function clean the biological filtration media?

Yes. The Backwash reverses the flow to dislodge excess waste from the mechanical foams and bio-media. This prevents clogging while preserving the healthy bacteria colonies living on the substrate.

Do I need a specific pump for a pressurized filter?

Yes. Because these units are sealed and contain dense media, they create internal resistance. We recommend a solids-handling or waterfall pump that can handle the extra 'Head Pressure' required to push water through the system.

Is UV-C safe for my fish?

Absolutely. The UV-C light is contained entirely within the stainless steel or plastic housing. It only affects the water as it passes through, killing algae and pathogens without any risk to your Koi or plants.
