Mountain Tree Star Filter Brushes

Mountain Tree Star Filter Brushes

Brush media for the first stage of filtration

Filter brushes help collect suspended debris as pond water passes through a suitable mechanical filter chamber. The bristles intercept some of the particles carried in the water before it moves on to other stages of the system. A brush surface can also support microorganisms, although it does not replace the need to plan biological filtration for the pond.

Mountain Tree describes its Star brush range for use in the first filter chamber. Allow enough space for water to pass around the media and for the brushes to be removed when the chamber needs attention.

Choosing the right option

The supplier listed 40 cm and 50 cm options. Check what the stated measurement includes and compare it with the depth and support available in your own filter. Confirm the contents and dimensions of the selected pack before ordering; the option names alone do not establish a shared fitting or quantity.

Looking after the media

Inspect the chamber as debris builds up and follow the instructions supplied with the actual brush and filtration system. Maintenance needs vary with the pond, stocking and amount of waste reaching the filter.
