When developing landscape design, decorative artificial reservoirs are increasingly used. Such ponds originally complement and decorate the territory of the site. But in order for this effect to remain long enough, it is worth taking care of the timely filtering of water in it. With the right approach to the organization, fish can even live in a pond. Why do you need to filter water?
So, first of all, a filter for a pond is necessary to clean the liquid in it from clogging particles. Thanks to this process, the water in an artificial pond will be transparent. Also, due to the use of the filter, biological decomposition of organics is ensured, which will warn various poisoning.
Distinguish between three main types of filters for the pond. They are divided into:
pressure;
running;
with ultraviolet sterilizer.
The principle of operation of the pressure filter is as follows: water is supplied to it under high pressure, for which pumps or pumps are used and filtered by special materials. They carry out mechanical and biological fluid purge. Pressure filters are considered more sealed compared to running and set below the water level.
Protopotic filters for the pond are designed to install above the water level. Their design is simple and the price is lower compared to pressure. In running filters, special sponges, plastic ruffs and balls are used as filtering material. They are placed in compartments, in which water is supplied using a powerful pond pump. After filtration, the liquid cleaned from impurities returns back to the artificial reservoir.
Filters for a pond with an ultraviolet sterilizer are considered more advanced structures. They not only purify water in an artificial pond, but also prevent its flowering. With the help of such filters, you can serve large ponds. It is also important that the installation of such a design is an excellent tool against the reproduction of pathogenic bacteria.
A similar principle of work and aquarium filters. The only difference between these structures is that they are designed for different volumes of water and the scale of cleaning.
If you want an artificial reservoir to bring you pleasure and you can admire the fish living in it, take care of the timely installation of the filter for the pond. Of course, choose high -quality structures and replace them if necessary.
