⚡ At a Glance
- • Filtration System: Two grades of open cell foam, a polymer wool pad and ceramic bio media trap debris and support beneficial bacteria
- • Best for: Garden ponds up to 3,000 litres where owners want an integrated, low-maintenance solution
- • Not ideal for: Ponds larger than 3,000 litres or those requiring separate high-capacity filtration setups
Multi-layered mechanical and biological filtration combines with a 5W UVC clarifier and an automatic LED spotlight. A sealed motor unit powers selectable fountain heads suitable for ponds up to 3,000 litres.
Clearer Water with Fewer Algae Problems, with 5W UV Clarifier
Water flows through a dedicated UVC chamber where a 5W lamp targets free-floating algae cells, helping to clear green water. Annual replacement of the UVC lamp in spring is recommended to maintain peak sterilising effect.
Reduced green water makes the pond visibly clearer after algal blooms. Regular lamp replacement keeps performance consistent through the seasons.
Thorough Mechanical and Biological Filtration, with Multi-layer Media
Water is drawn through inlet gills into two grades of open cell foam, then passes through a polymer wool pad that polishes finer particles, before moving through ceramic bio media which supports beneficial bacteria to break down organic matter.
Captured solids and biological breakdown lessen the need for frequent manual cleaning. Beneficial bacteria help stabilise water quality in small to medium ponds.
Better Night-time Appeal and Flexible Water Display, with LED Spotlight and Fountain Heads
An automatic LED spotlight includes a pivoting feature for directional lighting, while three fountain heads — Single Daisy, Super Daisy and Water Bell — offer different spray patterns and flow characteristics.
Night-time illumination highlights pond features and selected fountain heads let owners customise the water display. Pivoting light helps focus illumination where it looks best.
