How Does the PF 12000 Work?

The PF 12000 Pressure Bio Filter uses three filtration stages to help maintain clear and healthy pond water.

1. Mechanical Filtration

Water passes through filter foam that traps dirt, debris and suspended particles, helping to improve water clarity.

2. Biological Filtration

The built-in bio-balls provide a surface for beneficial bacteria to grow. These bacteria help convert harmful ammonia into nitrites and then nitrates, supporting a healthier pond environment.

3. UV Clarification

The integrated 24W UV clarifier helps control suspended algae responsible for green pond water, improving water clarity without adding chemical algaecides.

Together, these three filtration stages help keep your pond water cleaner while supporting a balanced aquatic environment.

Keeping your pond filter clean doesn't have to be a messy job.

The top-mounted cleaning handle allows you to clean the filter foams without having to remove them from the unit, helping reduce direct contact with dirty pond water.

The built-in pressure indicator also helps you monitor the filter's operating condition, making it easier to identify when maintenance may be required.

Good to Know

• Pond Pump Required – The PF 12000 operates using water supplied by a compatible pond pump.

• Maximum Flow Rate – The filter supports a flow rate of up to 5000L/h. Your pump should be selected according to the filter's requirements and installation conditions.

• Pond Size Matters – The maximum recommended pond volume is 12,000 litres, but ponds with heavy fish stocking or high waste loads may require additional filtration.

• UV Clarifier Maintenance – The UV bulb should be checked and replaced according to the manufacturer's recommendations to maintain effective algae control.

• Regular Cleaning – Use the Easy Clean Backwash System as needed to help maintain water flow and filtration performance.

Please Note: The UV clarifier helps control suspended green water algae but does not remove all types of algae or replace regular pond maintenance.

Whether you're installing a new pond filtration system or upgrading your existing setup, the Pressure Bio Filter PF 12000 offers a practical, efficient and easy-to-maintain solution for keeping your pond water clear and healthy.
