• The Jebao UV bio filter can be partially buried so only the top lid section is viable.
• Cleaning the filter is easy! The filter can simply be back flushed.
• The filter has an integrated indicator to show when cleaning is required.
• Large filter foams and numerous bio-balls increase filtration and beneficial bacteria growth.
• The Jebao UV bio filter incorporates mechanical filtration, biological filtration and UV clarification to give you a clean and healthy pond.
• The simple clip lid makes maintenance easy.
• The clear peephole on the top of the filter allows you to easily and safely monitor that the UV lamp is operating OK.
• UV light incorporates special quartz glass, a high quality clear material that allows virtually all ultra-violet light to pass through significantly increasing the performance of your filter.
• Pressurized filter system is ideal to use with waterfall applications

How Does It Work

Stage 1 – Mechanical Filtration

Water is pumped into the filter creating the necessary pressure to begin the mechanical filtration stage. There are two phases in the mechanical filtration stage – coarse and fine filtration. Each phase uses a specially designed foam sponge to effectively remote all sizes of unwanted debris.

Stage 2 – Biological Filtration

The biological filtration stage begins when water reaches the bottom of the filter. This stage uses bio-balls providing a habitat for beneficial bacteria to grow. These bacteria naturally convert harmful ammonia and other wastes into healthy nitrates that fertilize aquatic plants and support a healthy pond environment.

Stage 3 – UV Filtration

The final filtering stage uses a low voltage, ultra-violet (VU) light located in the middle of your filter. Exposure to the UV light kills algae as the water passes upwards through the filter on its way back to your pond.
