FAQs
1. What is a pond prefilter and why do I need one?
A pond prefilter is a device installed before your main filter or pump to trap large debris (leaves, sticks, dirt) so they don’t clog your main filter. It helps extend the life of your pump and improves overall filtration efficiency.
2. How do I choose the right size prefilter for my pond?
Select a prefilter sized for your pond’s flow rate or volume. Make sure it can handle the maximum pumping capacity and debris load. AquaBead offers sizing guides and models like MultiCyclone 50 and AquaSieve2 to match different pond scales.
3. How often should I clean or maintain my prefilter?
It depends on how much debris your pond produces. In many cases, cleaning every 1–4 weeks is sufficient. If there’s heavy leaf fall or a lot of organic waste, you may need to clean more frequently.
4. Can a prefilter help with priming my pump?
Yes — for example, the AquaSieve2 includes a built-in water reservoir that helps with priming hard-to-start pumps. aquabead.com
5. Does installing a prefilter reduce water flow or pressure?
A well-designed prefilter should minimize flow loss. Some prefilters are engineered to maintain strong flow while still capturing debris. Always check manufacturer specifications and avoid oversizing restrictors or narrow passages.
