Note: Our filter ratings indicate suitability based on performance and take into account the following considerations:
CLEANING: frequency, ease, efficiency, etc.
SIZE: actual size, installed size, hide-ability, etc.
LIFE EXPECTANCY: expected life of filter itself, availability of parts, redundancy, durability, etc.
COST: initial cost, parts maintenance, cost of replacement parts, etc.
It may be necessary to build your first pond with less than the best filter. Generally the cost of high performance filters increases as the performance level increases. Note that cost may become less of an issue if the filter makes your pond a real enjoyment over a 15-30 year period. For such a long period, it will become the least important consideration when compared to such things as efforts required to keep the pond clean. Also note that all of the above filters perform best in conjunction with installation of the recommended UV sterilizer.
SUPERPOND SPF30 UV FILTER
Limited time pricing!
SUPERPOND SPF30 BIO-FILTERS WITH UVNow you can have it all! Our new 3 stage pond filter offers clean and clear water for your small to medium sized pond (500 gallons to 3000 gallons max). The filter has an operable flow range of 700 gph to 1100 gph max flow during operation. As with all filters though, lower flow rates usually result in longer runs, while higher flow rates result in shorter runs and more frequent cleaning.
UV - UV Sterilizers will perform best at lower flow rates, ie 600-700 gph flow through the 11 watt UV and will kill most if not all of the algae and bacteria.. When used on a pond that is too large, the algae will grow faster in the large pond than it is being killed. When used on 700 gallon pond, it will work at peak performance. Use multiple filters for larger ponds, ie one for each 700-1000 gallons, or use additional UV Sterilizers such as our SPUV36W along with the filter.
FILTER The filter is sized to handle from a 2000 to 3000 gallon pond ( pushing it!). The filter can handle higher flow than the UV can handle. Rather than increasing the flow to the point that the UV portion doesn't work your would be better off in using multiple filters to increase the size of the UV.
The first stage consists of three sets of foam pads, which remove particles to clean the water.
The next stage consists of bio balls which collect and store bacteria to remove ammonia, nitrites, and waste material from the pond.
The final stage of this filter is the UV sterilizer that kills algae and harmful bacteria, clarifying the water and keeping your fish safe. Install a 3 stage filter on your pond system today!

New engineering technology through a newly developed, highly specialized central diffuser column virtually eliminates internal friction loss and clogging problems associated with other bead systems on the market. Add in the fact that this filter is designed from the beginning to operate with energy efficient low head Superfalls pumps, and you have the best filter available! Even the pro's say it's too good to be true, but this is one product that is compact and truly performs, without having to install a filter as big as your car next to your pond. And best of all, you never get your hands wet while cleaning.
"It is a fact that bead filtration is the most effective and practical filtration ever developed. There is no other filtration technology, in such a small package, that minimizes the retention of organics in a living aquatic eco-system; significantly un-like outmoded (and downright hazardous) "brush and pad filters" which are known to encourage the proliferation of pathogenic Pseudo-monads and fungi such a Branchiomyces. Since the first system I tested, I have always known that I would never demote myself from bead technology, as even the first designs were very effective. But most notably, with the advent of "flick of the wrist" power backwashing, and even newer developments in the Aquadyne series. The Aquadyne design has no internal elbows, and allows maximum water flow under the most abusive feeding practices. Aquadyne supports colossal amounts of fish AND delivers GIN CLEAR water, with no flow restrictions. I cannot foresee a more perfect bead filter being introduced. The best part of this filter is it's unique plumbing which allows water to bypass the filter completely, for medication purposes. The rinse cycle is an absolute must, as there is absolutely no "brown dirt cloud" after a backwash" as in the bubble bead filters. In a nutshell, Aquadyne is the Pentium of bead filters. - - - - Dr. Erik Johnson, DVM

Chart, Data Clarification:
The Maximum Pond Size shown indicates the maximum pond size for greatest biological efficiency of a given system. Pond size can also be significantly smaller than the maximum rating. By using a larger system on a smaller pond, you will only further increase the biological cleanliness of the pond environment. Likewise, the pond could also be slightly larger than the rating on a system provided that there was not a significant fish load. (See Fish Capacity Data Above)
The Minimum Flow Rates indicated in the chart indicate the minimum flow rates required to backwash. Flow rates during the normal filter cycle can be significantly slower than indicated in the chart. However, during the backwash cycle, you must have the ability to increase the flow to the minimum rating for a proper backwash, or use the blower to achieve maximum backwash with least water loss. The maximum flow rates listed are a cross section of two factors. Mechanical control head port size for efficient flow without significant restriction, and contaminated water contact exposure to the billions of beneficial bacteria residing within the filter. Without a doubt, slower flow during the filter cycle is better, but, a faster flow rate also places the recirculating water in contact with the media more frequently, netting near identical nitrification results.
The Maximum Pressure Rating all Aquadyne systems is a whopping 50 psi ! --- We actually consider this a non issue, because the Central Diffuser column on our filter is so efficient and non-restrictive that you would have to install a 5HP pump and have the filter half clogged to put anywhere near 50 psi on the tank. This simply would not occur in any practical application so we consider it just a perk.
On The Other Hand, you should be aware that due to the spin welding that some competitors must use to attach fittings to their tanks, and thin tank wall construction, they can only rate their tank pressures at 15 psi maximum. Hardly sufficient for medium head pumps capable of any decent flow rate.

Ultima II™ Bead Filter |
![]() |
|
Ultima II™ Bead Filter
• Media will not "clump" together
• NO
two speed pump needed for backwash
|
|
This is the next generation of filters and the best tool for Koi ponds. The
is specifically engineered to meet the environmental demands of ponds. The lightweight media is designed for very high flow rates.
THE ULTIMA II DIFFERENCE
|
There is a patent pending on this tubular media which has low
head loss and a very high biofilm surface. The “Y” shape on the inside
and wings on the outside affords a protective surface under backwashing and our
patent pending backwash system will keep the media from clogging. The same
properties have been added to this media in three different sizes with random
lengths and diameters to avoid stacking.
One cubic foot of
Ultima II media is equal to 750 square feet of surface area. Cleaning the filter is done by internal jets.04-UT1000 | Filters up to 1000 gal. | 12" dia. x 22" tall | 2" | $1090.00 |

New! SAVIO Skimmer Filters |
![]() |
![]() SkimmerFilter base unit. Has two built-in UV ports, skimmer basket, filter for ponds to 1000 gallon size. Base Unit and one Weir Inlet are priced and sold separately. UV's Optional and extra as shown. |
Savio has changed the way we build ponds with its new SkimmerFilter combo. The SkimmerFilter base unit can take care of skimming ponds to 8000 gallons with flows to 8000 gph. Internal ports (2) allow for the addition now or later of two UV sterilizer units. These are the easiest UV's to clean - simply twist to unlock, remove, wipe, and reinsert. No screws, or anything to take loose to clean. A large trash basket collects leaves and trash for simple removal. The SkimmerFilter has a built-in filter pad which is purported to be able to handle ponds to 1000 gallons. Anything larger should have a supplemental bio-filter. Three different size skimmer weir inlets are used for different sized ponds or flows. Order the base unit, and the appropriate weir inlet for your pond. This wonderful skimmer can be installed in concrete ponds or liner ponds. The extremely strong unit comes with a very strong lid, which is strong enough to be walked on, easily supporting a couple of football players (if necessary). Note: Savio has now replaced all UV Sterilizers with their new model (INEX), which does not require the use of a sleeve, but requires a new model of UV mount, new transformers, and of course new lamps. See New! below.

New! SAVIO Filters |
![]() |
Select the filter to fit your construction plans. The model F100 has a 22"
waterfall curtain weir and creates an instant waterfall. Pond liner attaches to
the front of the filter under the curtain weir to direct flow to the pond.
Model F200 allows a different way to direct your filtered flow to a distant waterfall or directly back to the pond. The F200 offers you a chance to hide it in a remote location, ie. behind a building, shrub, etc. and pipe the water where ever you want. The 2" pipe discharge fitting allows you to attach a male adapter (not supplied) and pvc pipe directly to the filter to deliver the water wherever you want. Flow exits the filter through the bulk head fitting, down an elbow through approximately two feet of pipe, then continues via another elbow toward the pond or waterfall.
Both models come with one box of Spring Flo filter media and a top polishing filter mat to remove the finer particles. Both models come with a very strong lid, capable of supporting the weight of a very large person without damage.

DRUM/STRAINER-LEAF TRAP | ![]() |
Koi Joy's collection trap connects' directly to the pond's bottom drain line (3"
or 4") and skimmer to collect debris from pond. Water travels upward into the
strainer basket, and then through the basket into the collection tank where it is drawn
into the pump. The pump is connected via a 2" bulk head fitting (supplied). Debris is
left behind within the strainer for easy removal and cleaning. Saves a lot of effort and
time that would be spent cleaning your pond, leaf trap, or pump internals. Available for
3" pipe 04-LCT300 or 4" pipe 04-LCT400
Supplied
with lid (not shown), strainer basket 04-LCB300 or 04-LCB400,
leaf basket filter media 04-LBFM25, and 2" bulk head fitting 03-BHF200.
With this system, you can now clean your pond by sweeping stuff directly into the bottom
drain to be swept into the collection trap. This easy to clean trap will hold weeks of
bottom debris for later removal.
Now you won't have to worry about leaves plugging up your pump or your skimmer. When it fills with leaves or algae, simply pull it out, rinse out with garden hose and return to drum. It's simple slip fit makes removal and replacement easy and painless. Plumb your centrifugal pump directly to the drum with one of our bulk head fittings (not included) for strained water or simply place a submersible pump into the drum with its hose leading to your filter. A simple yet effective way to decrease your pond maintenance duties and protect your koi!

Media required for Sand Filters- Measure the volume of water that your filter (or purchase the sand filter from us PLEASE CALL) will hold when slightly more than 1/2 full to determine the cubic feet of media required. For reference, 1 cubic foot is equal to 7 1/2 gallons of water, and would normally replace 100 lb of sand in a down flow pool filter.
Another way to determine the volume of your media, is to take the weight of sand in lbs. required for your filter, and divide that number by 100 to determine the cubic feet of media required for your filter. This same formula will apply to any replacement media for your filter. Example: A TR 2 model 60 sand filter uses 325 lb of sand. 325/100 = 3.25 cubic feet of sand, which means that I would have to order 3.25 cu ft of new media to replace the sand.

Sinking Tubular Replacement-Media | ![]() |
Our new
tubular media 04-KJTMHS works well as a replacement for sand in most pool filters.
Due to it's unique shape and light weight, this media passes high flow without
excessive plugging, while allowing for easy backwashing. The media is
manufactured with small fins along its outside surface, and is extruded with
internal vanes to give the media an extremely high surface area. Used to replace sand in filters, this media increases flow and allows use of
energy efficient low head pumps such as our Superfalls KJ11000LHC (or other).
Works well with sand filters which use a multi-port valve with ports which will
retain the media within the filter tank. Look at the bottom of the multi-port
valve and verify that the exhaust ports on the it's underside will not pass the
media during backwash. Koi Joy maintains a stock of filters which are known to
have suitable multi-port valves for this media.

BIO-FILTER ROLL/PAD MEDIAS | ![]() |
Our 1/2 " roll media works well in the DRUM filter 04-UF1000 or any
other bio-filter of your own construction. Use a 55 gallon plastic drum such as our 04-PD0055
or one of your own. One roll of this material will treat up to 1000 gallons. Roll comes 25
ft long by 25 inches wide or in two rolls 25 ft long by 12 1/2 inches wide each. Long
lasting and easy to wash, this makes an easily constructed bio-filter for a small pond or
a large tank.

BIO-LYTE GRAVEL ZEO-LITE/FILTER MEDIA: NOWHERE ELSE! | ![]() |
Our natural zeo-lite gravels have three unique properties. Because of its large void space, our gravel has a tremendous surface area. Some of this large surface area is within the pores and voids, while the rest is on the exterior surface. These two regions of high surface area combine to make one of the most compact media available for filters.
It's added ability to remove ammonia directly from pond water as it's generated, prevents the ammonia cycle swings common to most ponds and bio-filters. The ammonia resulting from fish waste and other sources are the major contributing factor to pond fish disease and death. One ft3 of BIO-LYTE GRAVEL can remove more than 1 lb of ammonia before regeneration is necessary. When its ion exchange capability is depleted, BIO-LYTE GRAVEL is still working better as a bio filter media than most others! When depleted, or on a monthly or quarterly basis, simply valve out your filter, turn off pump, and add a solution of salt water. The salt water forces all of the accumulated ammonia out of the BIO-LYTE GRAVEL which is then discharged to drain. Backwash and rinse out filter, and then return to service (we recommend installing an air backwash manifold under the gravel or use of a garden hose & water jet to simplify backwashing). Important: BIO-LYTE concentrates ammonia and therefore prior to recharging, remove from pond or isolate filter from pond to assure fish are not exposed to this higher level of ammonia. Never add salt to pond containing BIO-LYTE or zeo-lyte.
BIO-LYTE GRAVEL has a weight of 60 lb/ft3, 50 % of the weight of pea gravel, making it light enough to handle easily. This light weight makes it easier to handle, backwash, and use in almost any container-even plastic drums, Rubbermaid stock tanks, or our square 45 gal SLT-45 filter tubs. Try that with pea gravel or rock! We truly believe our BIO-LYTE GRAVEL to be the revolution in pond filters we've all been waiting for. Use it in your next filter to reduce it's size or replace the gravel in your existing filter to increase it's performance (up to double the performance of pea gravel).
Use 04-BL0010, 10 lb hanging bags of BIO-LYTE GRAVEL to hang in
pond or tank, or toss into filter to improve its performance. Use one or more bags for
each 1000-2000 gallons in pond, or one for each sick tank, show or display tank.
Each bag can absorb more than 1/3 lb ammonia from your water. BIO-LYTE GRAVEL polyester
weave bags have brass grommets and drawstrings with barrel locks. Remove periodically and
recharge with salt as above (frequency depends on number of bags, how well your filter
works, quantity of fish, etc.). These are the only way of absorbing ammonia in cold
winter pond water after your bio-filter's bacteria has died off. Protect your valuable
koi during the winter month's too!

SPRING FLO PLASTIC BIO-FILTER MEDIA | ![]() |
One spool of this ribbon contains a massive 180 ft2 (16.5 square meters) of surface
area for bacteria to colonize and may fill from 1 1/2 to 3 ft3 of space. One spool of
Spring Flo is capable of nitrifying approximately 1/2 pound of dry fish food per day- equal
to a pond with 25 pounds of fish! Sold in the form of a spool of ribbon, you simply let
the material unwind freely into your filter box, drum, etc. until the container is full.
One 55 gallon drum will hold two of these rolls to handle a 2,000 gallon pond.
To clean, just pick it up and shake or stir. Then drain your filter to discharge the
dirt to waste. Made in England.

1. Start with a 2" line above the filter which will allow connection to a
backwash blower. This pipe goes down to the bottom of the filter where it connects to a
"T". Each side of the "T" is reduced to 1 1/2". 2. Assemble enough 1 1/2" and fittings to create a border around the bottom of filter or pond. The border can be 3" smaller than the filter all the way around it. Lay out enough 1" pipe to reach from one end of manifold to other, every 6". At each of these points you will later glue a 1 1/2" X 1 1/2" X 1" "T". This will form your air grid. The maximum size of this air grid depends upon the depth, the power of your backwash blower, etc. (a 1 hp blower can easily take care of 40 ft2 of grid, in 30" - 36" water). If necessary, build multiple air grids. 3. Drill 1/16" holes each 3" along both sides of all 1 1/2" and 1" pipe and fittings to be used to construct manifold and grid. 4. Using 1 1/2 " pipe, 1 1/2 by 1" "T"s, glue the manifold together. There should be enough 1/16" holes drilled to pass the full flow of the air blower or 1,000 - 3,000 holes depending upon volume of air blower can supply. If necessary to increase number of holes, place closer together. Install air grid beneath slotted pipe or perforated pipes above. Good Luck. |
