It has been specifically paired to provide a controllable water flow that can be matched to the requirements of the Surge Filter, rather than using an unnecessarily large unmatched pump.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Evolution Aqua Surge Filter + UV is designed for goldfish and koi ponds up to 5,000 litres and has a \u003cstrong\u003emaximum recommended flow rate of 3,500 litres per hour\u003c\/strong\u003e, with an optimum flow rate of 2,500 litres per hour. The included Pontec PondoMax Eco 5000 Control has a maximum output of 5,000 litres per hour, but importantly for this package, its electronic controller provides \u003cstrong\u003e7-stage flow adjustment\u003c\/strong\u003e. This allows the pump output to be reduced to suit the filter and the individual installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy We Have Selected This Pump\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome pond filter packages are supplied with pumps capable of considerably higher flow rates than the filter itself is designed to handle. With the Surge Filter, simply fitting a much larger pump does not improve filtration; the water still needs to pass through the filter at an appropriate rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PondoMax Eco 5000 Control gives you control over the pump output, allowing the system to be adjusted so that the flow through the Surge Filter remains within its maximum 3,500 litres per hour rating. The actual flow reaching the filter will also depend on factors such as hose diameter, hose length and the height through which the water is pumped.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvolution Aqua Surge Filter + UV suitable for goldfish and koi ponds up to 5,000 litres\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated 18W UVC helps control green water algae\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4.5 litres of Evolution Aqua K+ filtration media\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum Surge Filter flow rate: 3,500 litres per hour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptimum Surge Filter flow rate: 2,500 litres per hour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePontec PondoMax Eco 5000 Control pump with 7-stage electronic flow adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePump maximum output: 5,000 litres per hour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePump handles dirt particles up to 8mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe pump can be installed submerged or dry below the water level\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePump power consumption varies from 15W to 55W depending on output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEvolution Aqua Surge Filter + UV\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePond water enters the bottom of the Surge Filter and passes through its K+ filtration media. The media provides mechanical filtration by trapping waste particles while also providing surface area for beneficial bacteria involved in biological filtration. Water also passes the integrated 18W UVC, which causes suspended green water algae to clump together so that it can be captured more easily by the filter media. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Surge uses Evolution Aqua's air-assisted cleaning system. During cleaning, the pump is switched off and the filter valves are operated so that air entering the chamber agitates the K+ media and releases accumulated waste through the waste outlet. The unit must be installed vertically with the inlet at the bottom and outlet at the top. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePontec PondoMax Eco 5000 Control Pump\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PondoMax Eco 5000 Control is a solids-handling filter pump with an integrated electronic controller.
