Jebao PF-10E Bio Pressure 9w UV Pond Filter for ponds up to 4000L

Product Information

A great non-pressurizedpond filter choice is Oase’s BioSmart filter series. These filters feature a streamlined “flow through” design, meaning water flow is not reduced as much as pressurized options.

As well as the cleaning indicator, the filter comes with a temperature gauge for monitoring water temperature, and a handy sludge drainage outlet to remove buildup under the media. All these things combined makes the Oase BioSmart a very user friendly filter that would suit new pond owners, or pond owners who want easier filter maintenance. Does my Pond Need a FiltrationSystem? Filters remove debris, break down harmful substances, and help improve water quality in fish ponds.In terms of UV options, the filter comes with a 9w UV light at the front of the inlet. Water drawn from your pump will first be clarified and algae removed before entering the filtration stage. This is the most efficient design to ensure dead algae doesn’t re-enter the pond water.

A final benefit of a pressurised pond filter is due to its increased pressure. This allows a finer mechanical filter media to be obtained, which can further improve water clarity. Many newer models also come with a dedicated discharge function and semi-automatic cleaning system, which allows you to clean mechanical media without having to open the filter box. Jebao are one of the worlds leading manufacturers of quality pond pumps. Jebao pumps are often re-branded and distributed in the UK by some of the best known names in the pond industry. When comparing pump prices it is worth remembering that if it looks like a Jebao Pump then it probably is a Jebao Pump. As well as its filtration and cleaning options, the filter range comes with a 13w UVC light to help with algae removal. This strength of UV should be sufficient in controlling algae in all but the largest of ponds, and should also help with free-swimming harmful bacteria control. The filtration process is a standard two-stage, with highly optimizedfoam media acting as both a biological and mechanical filter media. Included are4 layers of different sized mechanical foam, which have been designed to house a large quantity of beneficial bacteria. They have also beendesigned to catch a range of different debris, including both fine and large particles. The same as other filters here, the Jebao comes with a 2-stage filtration system, providing both biological and mechanical filtration layers. The water is filtered through a large porous sponge media which surrounds the central filter chamber, collecting debris as water swirls and passes through it. At the base of the filter is a large section for bio-media, which Jebao has provided in the form of optimized bio-rings. These needed to be added manually to the bottom of the filter (around 1/3 of the bag will do), and will work to reduce harmful waste substances as beneficial bacteria start to colonize.A pond filter has the very important role of housing beneficial pond bacteria which are necessary to the breakdown of harsh substances, as well as filtering out free-swimming debris from pond water. Ponds without sufficient beneficial bacteria populations mayhave dangerously high ammonia and nitrite levels, caused mainly from decomposing organic matter on the pond floor and fish waste. A clear viewing window at the side of the filter box allows the user to see if the UV lamp is switched on and functioning. It has become more common for filters to come with added Ultra Violet Clarifiers in recent times to help combat both green water (algae) and harmful free-swimming bacteria. A pond filter with UVC will both help filter water and destroy algae during the filtration process. A pond filter with added UVC is a better choice in most cases to a regular pond filter,unless you already have a separate UVC unit.
