Aussie's observations
|
|
Suitable for:
Any pond where filtered water is required. In particular when water
is to be pumped to a higher level such as a waterfall or feature |
|
What we liked: Solid
construction, the number of foam filters. A clever pressure valve built into the unit reduces the chance of
damage if the filter is not cleaned on time.
Good value for money.
|
Less than ideal: A small point but
the backwash system on >
Oase
Filtoclear, Laguna
,
Claritec
and
Fish Mate
are easier to use, as hoses do not have to be
reversed.
Pressure
filters in general are not ideal for Koi or Turtles, the better option would be a
gravity filter, however, if a waterfall is in use
with a single pump
for both filtering and waterfall a pressure may be the best option if a
gravity filter box can not be hidden at the very top of the waterfall. |

filter is key to choosing the filter size. See steps below to determine that
figure. Also see recommended flow for each model. |
