AQUABIOME

Aquabiome has been engineered specifically for ponds and water gardens. Aquabiome provides
mechanical and biological filtration in a single housing.

Its ability to support dense populations of nitrifying bacteria, its reliability and easy maintenance, 
makes Aquabiome especially suitable for high density recirculation systems.

Effective

Excellent Nitrification and Mechanical filtration

Efficient

Hydraulically efficient filter design, balanced slotted laterals to maximize water flow and filtration.

Durable

Corrosion resistant and UV stabilised for outdoor installation.

Air-Backwash

Air assisted hydraulic backwash, saving time and water.

Superior Quality

Aquabiome fibreglass filters embody the latest in fibreglass winding technology.

Filtering Pond Water 

To maintain good water clarity and a safe environment for fish, the pond water requires a combination 

of the following features: 

1.  Mechanical Filtration 

2.  Biological filtration 

3.  U.V. Sterilisation 

4.  Good circulation 

5.  Aeration 

 

In  simple  terms,  the  ‘mechanical  filtration’  is  basically  straining  the  water,  separating  the  solids 

from the liquid.  The solid matter in a pond is usually made up from different forms of debris, which 
maybe found at any level in the water. The presence of these solids and suspended particles will 

make the pond water appear murky or cloudy, making it difficult for visual inspection of the fish.  
The water clarity may not necessarily be a problem to the fish, provided the debris and suspended 

solids are of a non-harmful nature.
