Filter Problems

There are some wonderful myths about pond filtration which put a smile on some of the industry professionals faces. No matter how much anyone tells you, sponge is not a great medium for cleaning. Yes, it will polish your water extremely finely but it will block in a short space of time and leave you with weekends getting wet and cold to maintain your filter and rinse out those sponges.

Many of the filters sold by aquatics shops and garden centres will incorporate sponge. These box filters will normally claim they can maintain a larger capacity of water that is actually not true. The truth is, no box filter full of sponge will keep a lake clean, whatever you are told.
