Bog Filters - Natural Filtration for your Pond!
Imagine a pond filtration system that helps maintain water quality and produces beautiful blooms. It may sound strange, but that is exactly what a bog filter does.
Applying the principles of bio remediation, bog filtration employs a lush planting of gorgeous, water-loving plants to remove excess nutrients and improve water quality. Very little equipment is required to install this low maintenance filtration system. And best of all, unlike bulky conventional filtration systems, you'll want to show off your bog filter rather than conceal it! Waterscapes Pro - The Pond People in Charlotte - is your source for all pond filtration needs.
In essence, a bog filter is a natural wastewater management system for your pond. This effective example of biological filtration relies on plants to extract such pond pollutants as organic waste, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and phosphate before they can accumulate and negatively affect water quality.
Benefits of Bog Filtration
In addition to water-clarifying benefits, bog filters provide the avid water gardener many pleasures. Bog filters dramatically increase planting options and offer a satisfying project that enhances an existing water garden.
This natural filtration restores balance to the pond environment by increasing the ability to process or export excess nutrients. The result is cleaner, clearer, and healthier pond water. What makes bog filters different from conventional pond planting is the manner in which the plants are grown.
In bog filters, plants are grown hydroponically in relatively coarse, nutrient-poor substrate (pea gravel). This planting method "trains" the plants to search for nutrients in water rather than in substrate or planting media. Conventional potted pond plants passively remove nutrients from fertilized planting media and rely minimally on pond water for nutrients. We can help outfit your new pond or retrofit an existing pond with the proper bog filtration system from WaterScapes Pro - The Pond People in Charlotte.
