Figures below represent
the approximate pond size in litres, at a maximum of 1m head (Aquamax 2000
excluded). If the filter is elevated
(say in the case of a waterfall) this must be considered. i.e. a larger

***** Koi carp -
Pressure filters are not ideal for Koi
or turtles due to the extreme amount of waste they create and have trouble
processing the waste due to their design , therefore,
gravity filters are better suited.
However, due to their size and fact that gravity filters must be mounted at the top of a waterfall or above pond level, there
may be no other choice. In this case use a pressure filter but we suggest that
the pump and filter be a little oversize maintain water quality. |
