The Pondmaster Low Pressure Filter System is a comprehensive filtration unit designed for ponds, offering biological, mechanical, and, in some models, ultraviolet (UV) filtration. This system is engineered to maintain clear and healthy pond water by removing suspended solids, inhibiting algae reproduction, and fostering beneficial bacterial growth.
The core function of the Pondmaster filter system is to provide multi-stage filtration for pond water.
The filter system is available in several models, each with specific pump capacity and pond size recommendations:
The filter is designed to operate within these flow and pressure ranges; exceeding them can lead to leakage or damage and void the warranty. For water volumes above 4000 GPH or pressures over 8 PSI (18' head), a Valved Bypass is recommended to safely control water flow and pressure to the filter and water features. The system uses 1 1/2" I.D. hoses to maximize flow rates and minimize back pressure.
The Pondmaster filter system is designed for ease of use and monitoring:
The system incorporates features to simplify maintenance and ensure longevity:
The Pondmaster Low Pressure Filter System is designed for burial near the pond, with a heavy-duty poly canister that is weather-proof. It is crucial to follow all electrical precautions, including using a properly grounded outlet, a "drip loop," and a ground fault interrupter circuit (GFCI). The unit should always be unplugged from its power source before installation or servicing.
