Waterfall spillway is specifically design to maxim iz e the natural processes that r emove ammonia from the
water. Water pumped into t ank brings the dissolved wastes into contact with bacterial colonies on the
many surfaces of the filter pad and bio ball. These colonies di gest , or metabolize the am mo nia. Some
types of bacteria turn it into nitr ites ; ot her s t ake the still toxic nitrites and dissolved oxygen and tur n t hem
into less toxic nitrates, a nat ur al fer t ilizer that is easily t aken up by plants. When water filter and b ack into
pond likes a beautiful waterfa ll, it will help to aerate the water. When the proper balance of fish, pla nts and
aeration is reached, you don't have to clean your pond for the ent ire season. This waterfal l spillway is
designed to work with a water pump that can circulate of 1200 to 3750 gallons per hour.
