Be Kind to Your Filter - Keep it Clean
Filtration preserves the aquatic life in your pond by removing impurities and it is important to keep your pond filters running at peak efficiency. Depending on your type of filtration system, clean and/or back-flush on a regular basis (or when you observe a reduced water flow) during the summer months to maintain good water quality. Also, remember never to scrub the pond filters clean. Simply rinsing off any excess sludge or debris with pond water will allow beneficial bacteria to remain intact and active, therefore restarting the biological process.
