The Koi pond filtration system is one of the most important parts of an effectively maintained Koi pond.
Without proper filtration your Koi will not survive for long.
Koi pond filtration systems help prevent and sometimes even cure common Koi fish diseases.
These systems will help increase the life expectancy of your Koi fish.
How Filters Work Most people think that Koi pond filtration work by removing the physical artifacts from the pond water but this is only part of the process of pond water filtration.
The filters are a media for the growth of bacteria that are helpful in breaking down toxins in the water and help it sustain life.
When organic wastes fall onto the bottom of the Koi pond they degrade and create toxins and chemicals that may become harmful to your fish when they reach a higher level of saturation.
The bacteria in the filters metabolize the toxins and chemicals so that your pond will remain safe for Koi fish and other living things.
Advanced filter systems will allow you to employ this filtration strategy while keeping the water clear for enjoyable viewing.
It is therefore important to use a filter that is appropriate for the size of your pond and the number of Koi fish in it.
Types of Filters There are numerous types and classes of pictures in the market today and these are some of the most common available.
Gravity return filters use gravity in the Koi pond filtration system as opposed to water pressure from the pump.
Water from the Koi fish pond are brought to a high reservoir and is brought back through filters using gravity.
This means the filters would be placed higher than the pond edges so appropriate steps to position or conceal the filters itself should be expected.
Pressure filters are the ones that keep the pond water under pressure for the whole of the filtration process.
The advantage of this type of filter is that the whole unit can easily be concealed or buried near the site of the pump and visibility may be kept at a minimum.
The water pressure can also allow for flexible placement of the filtered water outlets at higher elevations or decorative positions on your Koi fish pond.
Gravity fed filters are complex Koi pond filtration systems using water pressure due to gravity to feed the filter.
The pumps are mostly used for the waters return to the pond.
These types of filters need professional installation and some require installation during the construction of the Koi fish pond itself.
This type of filter is best used on bigger ponds with lots of space for the complex systems.
Maintaining Your Filter Koi pond filtration systems are usually designed with user self maintenance in mind.
This means that the user can change or clean the system without need for professional intervention.
Be sure to have adequate supplies and replacement filters for your systems.
