Atlantic-OASE Filterfalls

The right size depends primarily on your pump's flow rate and the width of the waterfall you want to create. Match your pump's gallons per hour (GPH) to the specific flow range of the unit—for example, the 16" model handles 1,000-3,900 GPH, while the 38" model requires a higher flow of 6,000-8,000 GPH.

Yes, the unit is specifically designed to be camouflaged. It features support bars that allow you to place heavy stone or gravel directly on top of the enclosure, and the exterior is shaped to blend easily with natural landscaping and surrounding plants.

Maintenance is straightforward. You will periodically need to rinse the included filter pads and media bag to remove accumulated solids, which ensures the bio-mechanical process remains efficient and prevents clogging.

Absolutely. These units are constructed from high-molecular weight polyethylene, a rugged material designed to resist warping and deformation over time. Atlantic even offers a lifetime warranty on the enclosure itself.

The Filterfall includes an installation kit consisting of an FIPT bulkhead fitting, a media bag, a filter pad, and a liner attachment flange. You will need to provide your own tubing and pump, but the multiple bulkhead locations offer flexibility for different plumbing configurations.

It uses a two-fold approach: mechanical filtration traps suspended solids, while the biological media provides a surface area for beneficial bacteria to colonize and convert toxins. Additionally, the extra-wide spillway design promotes superior aeration, which is essential for a healthy, oxygen-rich pond environment.
