Biological waterfall filters – of any kind or brand – that are not periodically back-flushed will eventually plug with fish waste, mulm and detritus (the build-up of fish and bacterial waste that looks like brown goop).
If the fish waste, mulm and detritus isn’t periodically back-flushed from a waterfall filter it can clog the filter media – no matter what type. Clogged filter media can cause the water to start “channeling” around the filter media within the filter. This means that water is finding a path of least resistance around the clogged media.
Water that channels around the filter media inside typical waterfall filters isn't being filtered. Water passing around the media through channels causes other areas within the filter to have stagnant, non-moving, oxygen-deprived water that encourage anaerobic conditions. Hydro Vortex™ waterfall filters solve these problems for you.
