These work together to provide both \u003cstrong\u003emechanical and biological filtration\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe foam media physically traps leaves, dirt, suspended particles and other debris carried in from the pond. At the same time, the biological filter media provides a large surface area where beneficial bacteria can establish. These bacteria help break down organic waste naturally, supporting cleaner, healthier pond water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow the Filtration Process Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1.
