Key Features Explained
Pro Pro-Series Aquafalls biological waterfall filters help keep ponds clean and clear while supplying an ideal base for waterfalls and streams. Biological filtration relies on colonies of nitrifying bacteria that require weeks to fully establish. Avoid chlorinated water or antibacterial chemicals when cleaning filter media.
Easy to install, simply bolt lip to filter and you're done - no foaming rock lip into place.Aqua. Verify that all cable glands and housing seals are intact during seasonal startup. UV exposure and freeze-thaw cycling can degrade rubber seals over multiple seasons.
Falls Filters are buried into the ground . This specification contributes to the product's overall reliability and service life in outdoor pond environments. Verify compatibility with your existing system components before installation.
Installation Tips
Install the UV unit after the pump and before the biological filter so that clarified water flows into the filter rather than carrying dead algae cells into the pond.
Mount the unit horizontally or at a slight angle to prevent air pockets inside the chamber. Air gaps reduce UV exposure to passing water.
Disconnect and store the UV lamp during winter in freezing climates. Ice expansion inside the quartz sleeve can crack both the sleeve and the lamp.
Seasonal Usage Advice
Spring: Inspect seals, O-rings, and gaskets for winter damage before restarting equipment. Replace UV lamps at the beginning of each season regardless of whether they still light up.
Summer: Monitor water temperature during heat waves. Warmer water holds less oxygen and accelerates biological demand on filters.
Fall: Add netting over the pond before peak leaf drop to reduce the organic load entering the skimmer and filter.
Winter: In freezing climates, disconnect, drain, and store equipment indoors. Water trapped inside housings and plumbing expands when frozen and can crack components.
