Aquascape Signature Series 1000 BioFalls Filter

The pump, skimmer and pipework are selected separately. Keep flow within the filter limits; a pond-volume guide is not an unconditional stocking recommendation.
Before you order
BioFalls combines biological filtration with a waterfall return. It works as part of a circulation system, normally with a skimmer and suitable pump. The filter capacity, maximum permitted flow and waterfall width are separate sizing considerations.
- Choose the filter for the pond and fish load, then check pump flow at the filter.
- Add the correct quantity of biological media if buying a standalone filter.
- Check whether the rock tray is supplied with your chosen model.
Are BioBalls included?
Not with the standalone BioFalls filters described here. The catalogue recommends at least 100 BioBalls for the 1000, 200 for the 2500 and 400 for the 6000. Professional pond kits have their own included-media list.
Is the 1000 rock tray included?
The Signature Series 1000 rock tray is a separate accessory. The larger 2500 and 6000 filters include a rock tray. A waterfall spillway on its own is not a substitute for biological filtration.

A biological filter that forms the waterfall return
Water enters the BioFalls body, passes through the filtration media and returns over the waterfall lip. The filter mats catch material and provide surface area, while separately selected biological media supports the bacteria that process dissolved fish waste. A new biological filter takes time to mature.
The rounded polyethylene housing can be landscaped into the waterfall, but it should remain accessible. The 1000 has a 38 cm spillway; its optional rock tray is purchased separately.
Included components and installation planning
The standalone filter includes the body, waterfall attachment hardware, filter mats and media net provision. Use the specified inlet fittings for this version; the 6000 is offered with different bulkhead sizes, which must be matched to the planned pipework. BioBalls, the pump and the pipe run are separate purchases.
Work out the finished waterfall height, pond water level and pipe route before excavation. Pump flow falls as lift and friction increase, while too much flow can overwhelm the intended waterfall effect. The maximum pond-volume rating is a guide for suitable conditions, not a guarantee for every fish load.
Keep debris from accumulating by using appropriate pre-filtration and inspecting the mats. Follow the manufacturer’s cleaning procedure and avoid washing established biological media in untreated chlorinated tap water. Leave enough working space to lift the media without dismantling the waterfall.
