F200 Livingponds Versatile Filter by Savio
The Savio Livingponds Versatile Filter can be placed up to 10′ away from the pond and allows you to be more creative with the placement of your biological filtration system. Unlike filters that have to be placed at the top of the waterfall, the Savio Livingponds Versatile Filter can be hidden easily behind fences, shrubs, or surrounding landscape – up to 10′ away from the pond. The Savio Livingponds Versatile Filter’s injection-molded housing is rigid enough to use above or below ground. The Savio Livingponds Versatile Filter is the choice of professional installers who want the flexibility of executing designs without equipment getting in the way. The Savio Livingponds Versatile Filter features a 2″ outlet that can be connected to a standard MIPT (male pipe thread) PVC adapter.
The Savio Livingponds Versatile Filter was engineered to harness the natural dynamics of moving water. It’s cylindrical design puts pond water into a self-cleaning, highly dynamic “spin cycle”. This process removes the heaviest debris before it gets to the filter media and ensures that water is evenly distributed throughout the filter chamber. The net result is a filter that operates nearly 4x more effectively than those clunky box filters.
Cleaning The Savio Livingponds Versatile Filter is a breeze! All Savio Livingponds filters use Savio Springflo Bio Filter Media – the original, patented media that resists clogging, compaction and channeling. To clean, gently agitate the media, then drain the filter. Using the optional bottom drain accessory (sold separately) simplifies this task even further – allowing you to empty nutrient-rich pond water to your garden. No fuss, no muss, and no ruined clothing.
The Savio Livingponds Versatile Filter filters ponds up to 5,000 gallons. But if you need to add more filtration capacity for ponds over 5,000 gallons, that’s no problem – Savio’s modular design makes it easy to connect multiple units together.
