What is a Bio Filter?

A bio filter is a crucial component of any outdoor water feature. It helps maintain water quality by promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria that break down organic waste and harmful toxins. Over time, bio filters can become clogged with debris, algae, and other contaminants, which can hinder their effectiveness. Regular removal and replacement of bio filters are necessary to ensure the longevity of your water feature.

When to Remove Your Bio Filter

You should consider removing your bio filter when you notice the following signs:

Reduced Water Flow: If you notice a significant decrease in water flow, it may be time to check your bio filter.

Unpleasant Odors: Foul smells emanating from your water feature indicate that the bio filter is overloaded.

Visible Debris: A build-up of algae, leaves, or other debris on the filter suggests it’s time for a clean-out.
