If you already have a pump and a filter and the water is still green, the usual problem is not equipment failure. It is that the biological capacity is too small for the nutrient load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA wetland solves that by adding an enormous amount of biological surface area. Gravel has vastly more surface for bacteria than any packaged filter media. The plants then remove nutrients that bacteria alone only convert.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt handles a pond or dam up to 60 square metres, which is well beyond what a conventional add-on filter will manage. The patented Snorkel Vault and Centipede modules are what make it work: they draw water evenly across the whole bed rather than letting it channel down one path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a construction job, not a bolt-on. You are building a 2.5 by 3 metre bed at about 1.2 metres deep beside the existing pond, then planting it. Plan it as landscaping rather than as a filter purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow a wetland filter cleans an existing pond\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a planted gravel bed that water is drawn evenly through.
