Ponds always attract attention and cause delight, so many owners of country houses are happy to equip them on their own site. However, no one wants to have a groomed pond, which exudes an unpleasant odor and is covered with duckweed. That is why it is very important to regularly clean the water. For these purposes, you can even choose industrial filters, unless, of course, owners know the exact cause of pollution of the reservoir.
The causes of pond pollution can be a huge number. As a rule, it depends on how exactly this pond is used. For example, if fish live in it, then water can be polluted from excess top dressing, which gradually decomposes and leads to flowering of water. If the pond is not equipped with a pump, then standing water will also gradually become a great place for the development of bacteria and microbes. The lack of regular disinfection of water can also cause water pollution in the pond.
Types of cleaning filters
Today there are several characteristics that distinguish this or that type of filter for cleaning. But mainly classify them according to the method of action. In this case, filters are distinguished for chemical cleaning, for mechanical, biological and ultraviolet purification of the pond. But it is better to choose combined cleaning, in this case you can use several methods and cleaning will be carried out at a higher level.
Depending on the volume of water in the reservoir, pressure and running filters are also distinguished. Everyone has its own characteristics, advantages and disadvantages, so it is worth considering them a little more.
Pressure filters
This type of cleaning equipment is characterized by a complex structure, it allows not only to clean water, but also lift it up a certain distance. This property allows it to be widely used to clean not only ponds, but also springs, waterfalls. It is possible to use it for the pond only if the volume of the reservoir is not more than 60 meters of cubic.
Processor filters
This type of cleaning devices can be used in large ponds. They can clean the reservoir even with a volume of 300 meters of cubic. Prognate filters, as a rule, work in a single system with water pumps. Their design is more simple, but involves not only mechanical, but also chemical, as well as ultraviolet treatment of water.
In order for the reservoir to be admired, it is necessary to constantly care for him. Remember that the water in the pond should be clean and transparent, and therefore you should not wash your car or tape -saw machines in it. Having chosen a suitable filter, you can once and for all solve the problem of pollution of the reservoir.
