FEATURES FOUND ON THE SIGNATURE SERIES™ 6.0 & 8.0 SKIMMERS
In some circumstances it is difficult to add a Skimmer and/or BioFalls® to an existing system, maybe the shape and/or building technique makes it prohibitive. In this situation we would normally recommend the use of an UltraKlean™ Pressure Filter or Pond Filter Urn. Both filters will retrofit quickly into existing systems and provide efficient biological and mechanical filtration.

A. MicroSkim®
The advantage of choosing the right filter before you get started should not be underestimated. Aquascape takes an ecosystem approach to water gardening. This approach uses a Skimmer and BioFalls®. The skimmer removes leaves and debris from the surface of the pond optimizing water quality, and a BioFalls® Filter performs two very important functions; it supports mechanical and biological filtration and is also a great start to any waterfall.
