HOW TO GET THE BEST FROM YOUR K1 MICRO BEAD FILTER
The biological side of the filter can take anywhere between 4 to 8 weeks to fully mature.
To speed up this process, add the award winning PUREPOND to the filter.
Top tips for optimum biological performance:
• For best results for the prevention of green water use an evoUV pond clarifier.
A UV-C is recommended on every pond installation.
• Maintain a stable pond pH of 7 or higher.
• Maintain a pond Nitrate reading of 50mg/l or less.
• Always dechlorinate your mains water. Use an Evolution Aqua Dechlorinator for
removal of harmful chlorine when topping up with mains water.
• Add PUREPOND to the filter media inside the K1 Micro Bead Filter.
• Feed your fish Evolution Aqua’s own food range which has been designed to create
less fish waste.
Ask your local EA dealer for advice.
