Filtration
Whether you are a beginner or experienced water gardener, you will probably have one objective and
that is to achieve a clean, clear healthy pond. Ponds can be affected by various factors such as
unconsumed fish food, decomposing vegetation and fish excrement. If these pollutants are allowed to
accumulate, in time they will become harmful to your fish. The use of a biological filter will remove
these toxins (nitrite, ammonia) and provide good quality water with the additional benefit of reducing
algae growth.
UV Cleaning
Kit Code
MK18
Stage 1 Ultra Violet Clarifier (U.V.C) This is situated within the lid of the filter. As water is pumped

through the unit, the algae cells are penetrated by the U.V.C light destroying their ability to multiply and

causing them to flocculate (bond together). This process creates larger particles which can then be
removed more effectively by the Biological filter. The U.V.C will clear the water within 2 - 4 weeks and
additionally the mild sterilizing effect will help to reduce harmful bacteria levels.
Stage 2 Mechanical Heavy sediments (Leafs, Blanket Weed & Fish Waste) are filtered from the
water, as the water passes through the brushes. (1 Chamber)
Stage 3 Mechanical/Biological In the second chamber the water passes through the Bio Cartridge.
This media filters the smaller debris which is not collected by the brushes. The cartridge also allows
beneficial bacteria to grow on its surface.
Stage 4 Mechanical/Biological In the middle chamber, there are 3 layers of reticulated foam.
Suspended particles are filtered out as the water passes through.
Biological - Below the layers of foam, there is Biological Media called Flocor™. The purpose of this
media is to allow beneficial bacteria to grow on it's surface. Once matured the bacteria will breakdown
the harmful pond pollutants (Ammonia & Nitrite) converting them into Nitrate... Which is naturally
absorbed by pond plants.
Filter Installation

accidentally knocked into the pond or waterfall.
1). Ensure that all fittings are watertight. Use only the correct size outlet
pipe for the filter outlet/s. (Please ask your stockist for details)
2). Site the filter on a firm level base so that the outlet is higher than the
water surface of the pond, or above the height of the waterfall, if you
choose to have one. Keep as close to the pond as possible.
3). From the pump in the pond, attach a suitable size and length of hose to
the inlet of the filter and secure using a hose clip.
4). Your biological filter must be run 24hours a day to maintain the bacteria colony.
5). Please allow between 3 to 6 weeks for the biological media to mature.
Your filter may take 3 - 6 weeks to fully mature with beneficial
bacteria, however you can prematurely speed this process
up by using Oasis Filter Active (Ask your retailer)
