The PondKeeper Water Garden Filter by GC Tek combines biological and mechanical filtration to help maintain clean, healthy water in koi ponds and water gardens. Its unique filter media provides a large surface area for beneficial bacteria to grow while helping protect them during the backwashing process.
The filter features the patented-style FLUFF-N-SPIN backwashing system, which agitates and spins the media to remove accumulated bio floc and debris while retaining beneficial bacteria. This design allows the filter to be backwashed using low-amperage koi pond pumps, eliminating the need for a two-speed pump.
FLUFF-N-SPIN Backwashing System: Loosens and spins the filter media to remove accumulated debris while helping preserve beneficial bacteria.
Biological and Mechanical Filtration: Combines both filtration processes in one unit to support clear, healthy pond water.
Low-Amperage Pump Compatibility: Designed to work with low-amperage koi pond pumps without requiring a two-speed pump.
Six-Position Multiport Valve: Supports backwashing, rinsing, bypassing to waste, bypassing to recirculate, and other filtration operations.
Convenient Pond Cleaning: Can be used to vacuum the pond with the addition of a compatible vacuum hose to the pump.
Durable Construction: Features a high-quality injection-molded tank for long-term use.
Easy Installation: Includes 2-inch unions for straightforward plumbing connections.
Simple Maintenance: A pressure gauge helps indicate when backwashing is needed, while the sight glass allows you to monitor the cleaning process.
