"The importance of keeping your pond filtration system operating at peak efficiency can not be stressed enough!"
 
  All garden ponds accumulate organic matter from the time they are first filled with water. Organic matter is naturally produced from dead plants, algae, as well as uneaten fish food and waste. This organic build-up slowly decays, creating toxic hydrogen sulfide, ammonia and nitrite.  Such decay removes oxygen from your water and lowers the pH.  It also provides an excellent breeding ground for many fish diseases.

Often, a pond filtration system is last to be considered at the time of the pond design and conception.  A garden pond, whether a small water garden or high-end koi pond, is a living and dynamic eco-system.   A backyard pond is usually not fed by a stream or natural water feed that provides a natural array of bacteria and oxygenation.     

The proper filtration system will not only mechanically filter the harmful particulate from the water, but also provide a biological "home" for beneficial bacteria that will help to balance and stabilize the water quality.  It is essential to install a filtration system that is capable of handling your pond's requirement.

There are many filter shapes and sizes available and depending upon your pond design, purpose and budget, there is an effective filter for your pond.  You may have a skimmer box with filter pads or a combination of various filter medium and methods of filtration on a single system.  

Regardless of the filter's complexity, it is important to have a filter and to maintain it to its peak efficiency.

With that said;  Remember...  Just because a filter is operating at its peak efficiency does not mean it is the proper size or design for your pond's requirements.
