Filtros de Estanque Aquascape

La filtración es lo que mantiene un estanque limpio entre limpiezas, y Aquascape la divide en dos funciones. Los skimmers retiran los residuos flotantes de la superficie y alojan la bomba. Los filtros biológicos BioFalls van en la parte alta de la cascada y sostienen el medio donde colonizan las bacterias benéficas. Este grupo reúne ambos, además de filtros para cascada sin estanque, cámaras de filtro de humedal y pantano, filtros adicionales para un sistema existente, filtros de la bahía de entrada del skimmer y medio filtrante de repuesto.

Un estanque normalmente trabaja con un skimmer y un filtro biológico como pareja, dimensionados según el volumen del estanque y la bomba que los alimenta. Revise el volumen de estanque nominal, el caudal máximo y el tamaño de tubería en la documentación de Aquascape para la unidad antes de comprar, y confirme que el diámetro de la tubería coincida con el que ya está enterrado. El medio filtrante, los tapetes y los cepillos son consumibles y se listan por separado para poder renovar una unidad sin reemplazar la carcasa.

Usos comunes

Lo que la mayoría de los clientes de este grupo está resolviendo.

Surface debris

Pond skimmers that catch leaves before they sink, with a basket or net you empty by hand and a bay for the pump.

Biological filtration

BioFalls filters at the head of the waterfall, holding the media that beneficial bacteria colonize.

Pondless and wetland

Pondless waterfall filters and wetland or bog vaults for features with no open pond to skim.

Refreshing a unit

Filter mats, brushes, media bags and intake bay filters, so a working housing can be brought back without replacing it.

Filtros de Estanque Aquascape guía de compra

Cómo elegir, qué revisar antes de ordenar y cómo se envían los pedidos de Aquascape.

Filtration is what keeps a pond clear between cleanings, and Aquascape splits it into two jobs. Skimmers pull floating debris off the surface and house the pump. BioFalls biological filters sit at the top of the waterfall and hold the media where beneficial bacteria colonize. Most ponds run both.

What size pond filter do I need?

Two ratings decide it, and both come from Aquascape's documentation for the unit rather than from our page. The first is the pond volume the filter is rated for, in gallons. The second is the maximum flow it will take, which has to be at least what your pump delivers at your lift, or water pushes through faster than the media can work on it. Size to the pond you have, not the pond you wish you had, then confirm the plumbing size matches the pipe already in the ground. Going one size up on biological capacity is the cheap insurance; going one size up on flow rating is not.

A skimmer and a biological filter work as a pair

They are not alternatives. The skimmer is mechanical: it sits at the water line, takes floating debris before it sinks and rots, and gives the pump a housing. The BioFalls is biological: it holds media with enough surface area for bacteria to convert the waste that did make it into the water. Run only a skimmer and the water stays clear of leaves but the chemistry drifts. Run only a BioFalls and the bottom fills with debris the bacteria then have to work through. The pond kits pair them for that reason.

Wetland, bog and add-on filtration

A wetland or bog filter is a gravel bed planted through, with water pushed up from underneath so the plant roots and the gravel do the filtering. It is the quietest form of filtration and the one that looks least like equipment, which is why it suits a naturalistic pond. Add-on filters are the other direction: a unit that goes onto an existing system when the pond has outgrown its filtration or the fish load has climbed. Both are listed here with their own volume and flow ratings.

Media is a consumable

Filter mats, brushes, bioballs and media bags are listed separately from the housings on purpose, because they are the part that wears rather than the part that fails. A skimmer net and a filter mat are replaced rather than repaired, and a BioFalls that has stopped keeping up often needs media before it needs a bigger unit. Rinse media in pond water rather than tap water when you clean it, since chlorinated water kills the bacteria colony that the media exists to hold.

Preguntas Frecuentes

Match two ratings from the Aquascape documentation for the unit: the pond volume in gallons, and the maximum flow it will take. The maximum flow has to be at least what your pump delivers at your lift, and the plumbing size has to match your pipe.

It sits at the water line and pulls floating debris off the surface before it sinks and breaks down, and it houses the pump. It is mechanical filtration, and it is the half of the system you empty by hand.

The biological half. It sits at the top of the waterfall and holds media with enough surface area for beneficial bacteria to colonize, so the water is treated on every pass rather than just strained.

That pairing is how the Aquascape ecosystem approach is designed to work and it is what the pond kits are built around. One without the other leaves either the chemistry or the debris unaddressed.

Mats, brushes and nets are consumables and are replaced when they no longer rinse clean or have started to break down. Rinse them in pond water, not tap water, because chlorine kills the bacteria colony the media exists to hold.

Yes. Add-on filters are made for a system that has outgrown its filtration or gained fish. Check the rated pond volume, the maximum flow and the plumbing size against what you already have before ordering.

A planted gravel bed with water pushed up from underneath, so roots and gravel do the filtering. It is the quietest option and the one that looks least like equipment, which suits a naturalistic pond.
