PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
This is a general purpose, mechanical / biological filter system. It is designed to filter the water and
promote healthy bacteria that will provide a balanced environment in your pond. This filter is designed to
work with a water pump that can circulate a minimum of 200 gallons per hour. As a pre-filter, this prefilter
reduces pond debris and particulate before they enter the pump and other pond accessories. This pre-
filtration reduces the clogging of your pump and accessories and minimizes the need for cleaning.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Place your pump inside the filter box bottom, close to the
center. Make sure that the outlet points up. Route the cord
through the hole in the top corner of the filter box bottom. Fig. 1
