 The ‘Answer’ is designed to fit to exit pipe work within the primary settlement stage or prime mechanical filtration chambers, whether pump or gravity fed, from the pond.
The water entering ‘The Answer’ generally comes from the bottom of the pond and contains dust, leaves and fish feces, amongst other solids.
At this stage, it is important to stop all ‘mechanical’ solids from entering the biological stage, the more mechanically clean the water, the more effectively the biological stage will work – hence the development of ‘The Answer’. The operation of 'The Answer' although simplistic in action is more complicated to explain.
The unit is designed to fit onto exit pipe work of the prime mechanical filtration chamber, whether pump fed or gravity fed from the pond.
The adjustable sleeve (comes provided,) at the base, gives a watertight seal so that all water has to pass through the screen in order to pass onto the next stage, the biological chamber.  |
