Know before you buy
The Serenity Waterfall Filter is designed to effectively maintain ponds up to 1,200 gallons.
Yes, you will need to purchase a compatible pond pump separately to move water through the filter and create the waterfall effect.
Maintenance frequency depends on your pond's fish load and debris levels, but you should generally inspect the filter mat and BioTwist media every few months and rinse them with pond water to preserve the beneficial bacteria.
It is designed for easy integration into both new and established ponds, provided you have a suitable location at the edge of your pond to mount the spillway.
BioTwist media provides a high surface area for beneficial bacteria to colonize, which is essential for breaking down waste and keeping your pond water clear and healthy.
The 14-inch Crystal Falls spillway provides a consistent, steady flow, but the visual intensity of the waterfall will depend on the flow rate of the pump you choose to pair with the unit.
