Savio Livingponds Versatile Filter F200
The Savio Livingponds® F200 Filter is like a waterfall filter without the spillway. It effectively removes heavy debris before it reaches the filter media, ensuring even water distribution and operating nearly 3 more effectively than inefficient square filters.
Highly Recommended (Optional): Filter Bottom Drain
FEATURES
-
Comes without weir for placement up to 10' away from waterfall lip.
-
Top feed prevents the filter from draining back into your pond when the pump is turned off. No check valve required!
-
Filter can be used on its own for good biological filtration. For even better filtration, or for ponds with higher fish loads (or larger ponds), this filter can be combined with the Waterfall Filter F100 for double the filtration.
-
Filter can also be combined with a FilterWeir (waterfall spillway) 16" or 31".
-
Round shape eliminates dead corners common to square filters.
-
Resistant to Clogging.
-
Included: Roll of SpringFlo Media and filter mat.
-
Optional: Filter Bottom Drain (allows easy cleaning of filter).
Please note: We strongly advise using the filter bottom drain in conjunction with this filter. This convenient feature enables effortless cleaning by simply opening a knife valve while the pump is in operation. While the top pad will still require cleaning, the accumulated debris at the bottom will easily wash away, streamlining the maintenance process.
To determine minimum flow rates we suggest adding two 0's to the width. For a 22" wide waterfall spillway a minimum 2200 gph would be required to be the most visually appealing. For a more trickling waterfall you can cut this number in half (approximately 1100 gph), or you can double this value for a more 'niagara' style waterfall (approximately 4400 gph, or up to a filter max of 5000 gph).

Experience the innovation of Savio Livingponds® Filters as they harness the natural flow of water. With a meticulously designed cylindrical shape, these filters set pond water on a self-cleaning, dynamic spin cycle. This efficient process eliminates heavy debris before it reaches the filter media and guarantees uniform water distribution within the entire filter chamber. The outcome is a filter that outperforms inefficient square filters, operating nearly three times more effectively!
How to Clean:
Unlike many other waterfall filters that are difficult to clean, Savio Waterfall filters have a drain for cleaning. Just gently agitate the media, and then drain the filter.
