How do ecosystem garden ponds work?
The ‘Ecosystem pond’ image above illustrates the key elements and how they play a fundamental part in any ecosystem pond.
-
Pond skimmer:
Removes debris from the water surface and houses the pond pump and debris basket.
-
Biofalls® filter:
A biological filter that keeps pond water clean by encouraging the growth of beneficial bacteria that help remove excess nutrients from the water.
-
Pond pump:
Circulates water into the Biofalls filter and back via waterfall or stream. Moving water ensures optimum oxygen levels for healthy fish and plants.
-
Piping:
Durable sun, ozone and mildew resistant PVC pipe that connects the skimmer to the Biofalls filter.
-
Rocks and gravel:
Protect the pond liner and house beneficial bacteria that break down excess nutrients in the water.
-
Pond liner and underlayment:
The pond liner offers resistance to UV, ozone and oxidation; the underlayment protects the liner from damage from any rough ground below.
-
Plants and fish:
Plants provide colour and texture while reducing algae growth by removing excess nutrients; fish reduce pond maintenance by eating algae and stirring up water so that it flows into the filter.
