Filtration

Within the last several years, the water garden and Koi pond hobby has seen some major advances in understanding of system designs and pond ecology.

This article is given to increase the general understanding of pond system ecology and to introduce the new filter media known as Matala.

Whether you have a preformed or a liner pond, a pond pump is a paramount component of any water feature.

Submersible pond pumps can be placed directly in the pond and require relatively little installation. They are free of distracting noise, and for smaller ponds, can easily be utilized to drain your pond (if you hook up a hose to the output flow). These pumps are often used inside pond skimmer boxes where they are out of sight. In this application they generally feed a waterfall type filter as it flows back to the pond providing aeration and water circulation.
