Atlantic and OASE are great partners with complementary product lines that dovetail perfectly to enhance water quality and reduce maintenance. We complement each other on a number of levels, including filtration philosophies. Here in the States, where leaves and clippings are typically the major maintenance concern, we clean from the top, skimming the surface of the pond to capture floating leaves and debris before they can sink. The pump lives in the skimmer, sending the prefiltered water up to an upflow biofilter, where pads clean and clear water mechanically and biologically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Europe, fishponds are typically cleaned from the bottom. There, a solids-handling pump on the bottom sends fish wastes and small particulates to extremely efficient pressure filters that remove much finer suspended solids than upflow biofilters can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two philosophies are yin and yang; one continually removes leaves and floating debris but requires periodic cleaning of settled solids; the other captures the settling solids but requires vacuuming to remove leaves and larger debris. Put the two together and you get top down, bottom up cleaning that dramatically improves water quality and drastically reduces maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s take for example any existing fish pond here in the States with a Skimmer<\/a> and FilterFalls<\/a>. Let\u2019s say this pond is a few years old and the fish in it are happy and healthy. That means they\u2019ll be big and fat from constant overfeeding and there will be way too many of them, both because they\u2019ve reproduced and because their owners will have added fish \u2013 \u201conly a few, here and there, really!\u201d Yeah, right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now there are more wastes than the original equipment was designed to handle. Even with additional mats in the FilterFalls, the excess nutrients have started to impact water quality and clarity, as algae take advantage of the constant nitrates in the water column. The homeowners have an aeration system, and are adding bacteria, but the pond just isn\u2019t as clear and clean as it was with one fifth the fish load. Nor are the doting \u2018parents\u2019 willing to part with a single one of their cherished \u2018children\u2019, all of whom have cute names and endearing habits. So, there are more fish and fish wastes than the pond can metabolize naturally and even an aggressive cleanout will only delay the return of the same conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The contractor now can offer a return to gin-clear water, guaranteed, without rebuilding the pond. A properly sized OASE FiltoClear<\/a> Pressure Filter paired with an AquaMax Eco<\/a> pump is the perfect drop-in solution and comes with the OASE Clear Water Guarantee. The system works in three ways to clean and clear the water. The pump, placed centrally at the bottom of the pond, begins pulling in wastes and passing them to the FiltoClear as soon as it is plugged in. The UVC Clarifier inside the filter renders any algae in the water sterile, unable to reproduce, eliminating green water. The \u2018foams\u2019 or sponges in the filter trap suspended wastes, returning clean, clear water to the pond. Maintenance is easy; the filter backwashes clean in seconds. The pump is designed to pass wastes without clogging and can go entire seasons without needing to be cleaned. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Installation requires hiding the pump, its cord and the return hose, a matter of moving and maybe adding a few stones. The filter can be hidden from view either by placement far from the pond\u2019s edge or behind a raised waterfall. The filtered water can be returned anywhere into the stream or along the pond perimeter. Two additional plugs will have to be accommodated, one for the pump and one for the integrated UVC, with a combined draw of only about 2 amps, the circuit powering the original pump may be able to handle it. Even if a second circuit needs to be added, this solution requires much less time and labor than a pond rebuild or even a full pond cleanout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, a drop-in solution for ponds with water quality concerns that guarantees clear water in ponds up to 2000 gallons. For larger ponds, use OASE BioTec Screenmatic\u00b2<\/a> and ProfiClear Filters<\/a> with the appropriate UVC Clarifier and pump to achieve the same results, with clear water guaranteed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
