Project: Pond Upgrade
Location: Swavesey
Status: Complete
We recently completed a major filtration upgrade on an existing 14,000 litre pond, transforming its performance and aesthetics.
The outdated box filter was fully removed and replaced with a premium drum and bio combi system — a state-of-the-art, all-in-one unit that combines highly efficient mechanical filtration (via an automatic self-cleaning rotary drum) with robust biological filtration for superior ammonia and nitrite control.
All new pipework has been professionally sunk underground, creating a clean, hazard-free layout with added protection against weather and wear. The filter unit itself is securely housed in a dedicated filter bay built on a solid concrete base, ensuring long-term stability, vibration isolation, and straightforward access for maintenance.
This modern upgrade delivers significantly clearer water, reduced manual cleaning, automatic backwashing, and reliable biological processing — ideal for maintaining a healthy pond environment with minimal daily effort. Once the biological media fully matures (typically 4–6 weeks with proper seeding and monitoring), the system provides outstanding results with excellent turnover rates.
If you're considering a similar upgrade or would like to see more project photos, contact us — we'd be happy to discuss how this system can benefit your pond!
