The Pumped version is ideal for koi pond and pond owners who have
installed a pump directly in their pond or in a collecting chamber and
pump the contaminated water into the filter. In this system the outlet of
the biological stage lies above the pond level. The water flows back into
the pond according to the principal of gravity.
The Gravity version is suitable for koi and pond owners who have
installed floor drains and/or float gauges in their pond. With this system,
the pond water flows directly through large pipes into the Smartpond®
filter by gravity. With a pump the cleaned water is again pumped back
into the pond.
The plants are delivered in completely assembled state.
The unused tank ducts can be sealed from inside with silicone and the
discs delivered alongside.

3.3.1 Mechanical installation
The filter must be installed frost-free. If this is not done, no guarantee can
be claimed for damage cause by frost.
The filter must be positioned on a plain and solid foundation. Ideally, the
filter is placed on a thin Styrofoam /Styrodur layer. This would provide an
even surface and prevent scratches from appearing on the filter base.
It must be assured that the backflow to the pond takes place through an
adequate number of pipes to prevent build-up of backwater in the filter.
The upper edge of the filter is positioned 10 cm higher than the pond
water level. 10 cm is the minimum value and the filter shall not be
positioned lower than this.
In order to comply with this value, the pond shall have an overflow outlet.
If the filter is installed more than 10 cm above the water level in the
pond, the filtration efficiency will fall. Ideally, the maximum water level in
the pond shall be limited through an overflow outlet.
The filters are equipped with welded pipe sockets for D110mm pipes.
