POND SIZE 5000 GALLONS
Designed for mid-sized koi ponds, the Cyclone
5000 System provides excellent mechanical &
biological filtration in an easy-to-clean system.
As a bonus, the Cyclone 5000 System can be
customized to fit your needs with optional 3"
and 4" inputs. The Cyclone 5000 System
works best as a Gravity Fed System, but can
be used as a Combination System. The first
chamber is a Vortex and the solids settle on
the bottom, then the water flows to the 2nd
chambers bottom and comes up through thick,
easy to clean brushes. The water then flows to
the third chamber and goes through thick
matting, before being pumped back into the
pond. Unlike plastic cones, the Cyclone series
of filters are constructed of heavy-duty
fiberglass and will not warp or distort. Every
system is made in the USA and features our
exclusive Lifetime Filter Body Guarantee.

POND SIZE 7500 GALLONS
The Cyclone 7500 System provides excellent

easy-to-clean system. As a bonus, the Cyclone
7500 System can be customized to fit your

before being pumped back into the pond.
Unlike plastic cones, the Cyclone series of
filters are constructed of heavy-duty fiberglass
and will not warp or distort. We actually have
been running this filter on our own pond for
the last 9 years, it really works great.

There are hundreds of Pond Filters available and sometimes choosing the right one is confusing
and difficult. If you have a Water Garden, plants and a small amount of fish, then you could
probably get by with a skimmer filter / waterfall filter (SEE SKIMMER LINK) and a U.V.light to keep
your water clear and your fish healthy. If you are more interested in a Koi or Goldfish pond, then
you will need a good filter system and U.V. Light to pull the ammonia out of the water and
maintain a healthy environment for your fish. Some systems use pads like the one shown below.
Depending on your filter and fish load, you will have to wash these pads out to keep the water
clean and healthy. These systems work well and the beneficial bacteria builds up on the pads or
brushes. We are strong believers in the bead filters and offer a variety of these filters for you to
compare. These filters are based on swimming pool sand filters, but use different kinds of
"beads" instead of sand to harbor beneficial bacteria to keep your pond water clean and healthy
for your fish. These filters all have pressure gauges to tell you when the filter needs back
flushing. You just turn the handle back and forth from back wash to rinse until your water being
flushed out is clear or the pressure gauge lowers. These filters seeded with beneficial bacteria
work great. If you want to raise the beautiful fish you purchased, make sure you purchase a
good filter. So many people spend a lot of money on fish, and use a cheap filter system, just to
watch their beautiful, one of a kind fish get sick and die because of poor water quality. Also keep
in mind when purchasing a filter, think ahead, the little Koi you purchased for your pond can
grow up to 3 feet long, which requires a bigger filter down the road. You can never have to much
filtration. We also recommend pulling the water off of the bottom of the pond, this is where the
bad stuff for your fish hides. Call us at 803-796-6743 if you have any questions, we will be glad to
help. We also have the beneficial bacteria available on the fish and water treatments link. This
bacteria is amazing and really works. HIghly recommended. (Hope this helps)
CYCLONE FILTER SYSTEMS ARE GREAT FOR SLOPED YARDS. THESE FILTERS NEED
TO BE POSITIONED WHERE THE TOP OF THE FILTER IS LEVEL WITH THE TOP OF THE WATER IN
YOUR POND. THIS ALLOWS A GRAVITY FLOW TO THE FILTERS. ONCE THE WATER GOES
THROUGH THE FILTERS, THE CLEAN WATER IS PUMPED BACK TO YOUR POND. THESE
FILTERS WORK GREAT WITH A BOTTOM DRAIN AND ALLOW LEAVES AND OTHER DEBRIS TO
BE FILTERED OFF OF THE BOTTOM INTO THE FIRST SETTLING TANK TO BE FLUSHED OUT
LATER. THESE SYSTEMS TAKE ABOUT 20 MINUTES TO FLUSH OUT AND CLEAN
BOTTOM DRAIN WITH UP TO 4" PIPE. THIS DRAIN ALLOWS YOU TO INSTALL WITHOUT CUTTING A HOLE IN THE BOTTOM OF YOUR LINER

THE MOST IMPORTANT PURCHASE FOR YOUR POND

ABOVE is an example of a retro bottom drain , a Sequence pump with a strainer basket, a Bead
Filter and Beneficial Bacteria. These four items will filter the "bad stuff" off of the bottom of your
pond and keep your fish happy and healthy. The smaller bead filters work well with a Savio solids
handling pump on the bottom of a smaller pond. The solids handling pump pulls the debris off of
the bottom and up to the filter. For larger ponds we recommend using a bottom drain. If you
already have a pond and did not install a bottom drain, you can easily install the above retro
bottom drain without having to drain your pond. We also recommend a Sequence pump and bead
filter. The Sequence pumps are known to last for years and are the pumps we use. We also
recommend a Sequence pump with a strainer basket. The strainer basket catches the larger debris
off of the bottom of the pond before it tries to enter the bead filter. You just have to periodically
empty the strainer basket, which is very easy. If you have a lot of debris on the bottom like leaves,
a larger strainer basket can be added. (SEE THE PUMP LINK) The larger strainer basket allows
you more time between emptying. We are all about less work and more enjoyment of your pond.
Please keep in mind when purchasing a pump, the farther the pump has to pull the water the less
flow rate it will have. Make sure your pump will have the right flow rate for maximum filtration.

BioPRO, Biological Pond Filters, provide exceptional bio-filtration and are designed
for pond applications with heavy fish loads. Each BioPRO Pond Filter features our
unique BioCELL, bio-media, made of neutrally buoyant, "high-impact" polystyrene.
During filter mode the BioCELL media bed is stationary inside the filter, when
backwashing the media bed is gently lifted allowing for a better solid waste
removal. BioCELL's design combines the right amount of self-cleaning with a
highly protected surface area (198 ft²/ft³) for nitrifying beneficial bacteria colonies.

supporting base and a drain plug.
2- 6-Way Multiport Valve: has 6 positions for quick mode change. Filter,Rinse, Re-circulate,
Backwash, Close, Waste. The valve body is made of durable ABS plastic, can sustain a temperature
range from -20 F to 150 F. It also comes with a pressure gauge.
3- Strainer: Newly designed and patented for no-restriction flow. The purpose is to keep large debris
such as leaves, plants entering the filter and also keep the bio media from escaping.
4- Diffuser Column: Newly designed and patented for no-restriction flow. The diffuser column head
has specially designed slots so that in Filter mode it will retain the bio media within the vessel, and in
Backwash mode it will move the water body within the vessel an upward and spiral motion which is
essential for an effective cleaning of the bio media bed.
5- Bio-Media: Newly designed, and patented for extreme mechanical and biological performance.
You will notice an instant water clarity, and with 870 square feet of surface area per cubic foot of
media it out performs any other systems on the market today. The ridges on the outer surface of the
media provide a tighter interstitial spacing with the adjacent media and protect the bio film during
Backwashing. The inner hollow space with extended spikes allow water circulation thru the
individual media and thru the entire media bed which is important for eliminating channeling
problems. These spikes retain dirt within the inner space and also provide tremendous surface area
for bacteria colonization.
