Is a Pressure Pond Filter or a Bio Filter Better?
-
Pressurized Filters Are Versatile
-
Filters keep ponds vibrant. Pressurized pond filters are a good buy based on their versatility. Among the qualities are high efficiency and a small, manageable size. "Pressurized filters," states Practical-Water-Gardens.com, can also be "easily hidden and in many cases can be cleaned with little hassle."
-
Bio Filters Are Universal
-
Filters keep water fresh for ducks and fish. Bio filters are universal and generally refer to many varieties--particularly gravity filters. Bio filters (gravity filters) can be designed for small, medium and/or large sized ponds. There are reliable, low cost bio filters for small ponds. But beware, states Practical-Water-Gardens.com, installing a bio filter "is no guarantee of clear water."
Bottom Line
-
Ponds can die without a proper filter. Pressurized pond filters are better for their versatility and unique qualities. According to Practical-Water-Gardens.com, pressurized filters "have started to dominate the market" due directly to the advantage of being able to be "remotely located or even buried to allow for more natural appearances." Ponds are hard to maintain, so consult a professional when purchasing a filter.
