Another aspect that we like is that it has both mechanical and biological filtration. As with any filter, the biological powder will take time to develop, but in the meantime, mechanical filtration is highly effective. If you’re looking for a fountain feature, then this could well be the filter that you’re looking for. It doesn’t have the highest capacity, but it will allow you to clean the toxins out of your water while also having something that will be a stylish addition. Moreover, it doesn’t cost the earth.

Lastly, we have the Aquascape Pond Filter and Waterfall Spillway that shows excellent performance at cleaning the water and aerating it. Moreover, it has a beautiful waterfall design and comes with a 5-year warranty. This filter has a few other great features too. There are handles for cleaning, a flow knob, and also a filter indicator. Moreover, this filter will be able to handle a high flow rate depending on the model you get, as there are plenty of buying options. One of the biggest issues people have when fitting their pond waterfall is getting the correct height. Our biggest tip would be not to overdo it. When looking into creating a waterfall effect for your pond, you may come across waterfall units called waterfall “spillways.” These are very similar to waterfall filters, but more basic in design. Both will create a spillway of water into your pond, but a waterfall filter has a built-in filtration system which will help make water clearer. A waterfall spillway is essentially a waterfall filter, just without the filter! It collects water until full, and then the water flows over the top, creating a waterfall – nothing fancy! A very basic spillway without filtration media. Once you have chosen the perfect preformed waterfall to suit your needs and style, then you will need to work out how the pieces are going to fit together. From this, we can decide how to shape their resting places accordingly. Just remember to plan to have the final lip of your waterfall overhang the pond by at least five or ten centimetres – this ensures you get a good splash and helps prevent any water loss.It isn’t the filter with the highest capacity out there, but it’s suitable for ponds up to 1,200 gallons and copes with pump pressure up to 700 GPH. It’s brilliantly effective, and you get that pressurized filtration while also having bio balls and a UV clarifier.

Our second recommended waterfall filter is Atlantic Water Gardens 17 inch waterfall spillway. This waterfall filter is a great choice for pond owners who want a wider spillway compared to the TetraPond offering, but don’t want to miss out on great filtration. The waterfall filter comes with a 2-stage biological and mechanical filtration system, including a optimized “bio-mat” for fast bacteria colonization. The spillway is quite wide, at 17 inches in width, and features a design to prevent dripping during operation. That capacity helps to make it one of the best pond filter systems out there, but there’s a lot more to it than just size. Temperature and cleaning indicators are extremely useful as it will take the guesswork out of keeping your fish in the best possible health. We have seen a wonderful fountain filter already, but this is a waterfall model. It gives you excellent filtering abilities while also having that aeration. It all adds up to a level of water quality that is going to allow your fish to thrive. Indicator – There are models out there that will have an indicator that will let you know when the filter needs to be replaced. As well as cleaning, some also have temperature reading, and that can also be very useful. All our electrical products carry a 12 month guarantee or longer if specified by the manufacturer.
