HydroPure™ Filtered Pondless Systems
Make Pondless Waterfalls
EASY to Clean!
Unlike pondless systems that store water beneath rock and gravel, HydroPure™ Filtered Pondless Systems are designed for simple, routine maintenance — without draining the entire system, removing the pump, or pressure washing a gravel-filled reservoir.
Here’s how easy it is:
1. Rinse the Waterfalls and Stream
With the waterfall pump running, use an ordinary garden hose to rinse leaves, debris, and fine particulates downstream from the waterfalls and stream down into the HydroSieve™ pre-filter for easy removal.
There is no need to remove the pump for routine cleaning or maintenance as with conventional rock and gravel based pondless systems. Pump removal is only necessary when winterizing the pondless waterfall.
2. Empty and Rinse the HydroSieve™ Pre-Filter
Open the lid of the HydroSieve™ pre-filter.
Grab the stainless steel filter basket by its handle, which remains conveniently above the waterline. Lift out the basket, empty the collected debris, rinse it clean with a garden hose, and place it back inside the HydroSieve™.
That’s it — no reaching into a dirty underground reservoir to clean or remove the pump.
3. Drain the Hydro Vortex™ Waterfall Filter
Turn your pump off and then open the drain valve located at the bottom backside of the Hydro Vortex™ waterfall filter and allow the filter to drain completely.
You’ll see dirty water and trapped particulates being flushed from the filter.
Every Hydro Vortex™ waterfall filter includes a drain, drain pipe, and drain valve for easy cleaning and backwashing.
4. Backwash the Hydro Vortex™ Filter
Hydro Vortex™ waterfall filters can be cleaned with the HydroFlush™ Backwash System simply by turning two valves and letting your pump do all the work for you, or manually with an ordinary garden hose.
HydroFlush™ Backwash System
With the pump off and the filter's drain valve open, turn the HydroFlush™ valve to the BACKWASH position and turn on the pump.
Water is redirected to the Froth Jet at the top of the Hydro Vortex™ filter, where it shoots upward before falling back down onto and through the Hydro FilterSilk™ media. This flushes accumulated debris downward and out through the filter drain.
Continue backwashing until the water exiting the drain runs clear.
Close the drain valve and return the HydroFlush™ valve to the FILTER position.
Manual Backwash
With the pump off and the filter's drain valve open, rinse fresh water with an ordinary garden hose from the top of the Hydro Vortex™ filter and down through the Hydro FilterSilk™ bio media.
There is no need to remove or disassemble the filter media.
Continue rinsing until the water exiting the drain runs clear. Then close the drain valve and restart the pump.
Hydro Vortex™ Filter is Clean
When water flowing out of the drain valve runs clear, the Hydro Vortex™ filter, and the Hydro FilterSilk™ bio media inside are clean. Close the drain.
5. Replace the Backwash Water
If your HydroPure™ system is equipped with an automatic water-fill float valve, it will automatically replace the small amount of water used during backwashing by refilling the system inside the HydroChamber™.
Without an automatic water-fill valve, simply add the replacement water with a garden hose.
6. Turn On the Waterfalls and Enjoy!
Turn on the pump and enjoy your clean, clear pondless waterfall.
That’s it. You’re done.
No draining the entire system.
No removing the pump.
No pressure washing a gravel-filled reservoir.
No tearing the pondless waterfall apart just to clean it.
Maintain your HydroPure™ Filtered Pondless System with HydroClear™ water treatments.
HydroPure™ Filtered Pondless Systems
The Easy-to-Clean Pondless Waterfall System
HydroPure™ Filtered Pondless Systems are designed from the beginning around one simple idea:
Your pondless waterfall
should be easy for YOU to maintain.
Empty the HydroSieve™ whenever needed. Backwash the Hydro Vortex™ filter in minutes. Rinse your waterfalls and stream with a garden hose as often as you like.
You decide how pristine you want your pondless waterfall — and how often you want to maintain it.
There’s no need to wait for an expensive annual clean-out or pay someone to dismantle and pressure wash your pondless waterfall.
With simple routine rinsing, pre-filtration, and backwashing, accumulated organic debris is removed from the system instead of being allowed to collect beneath the rocks and gravel.
Before You Buy Any Pondless Waterfall,
Ask One Question:
“How do I clean it?”
Because after the installation is finished, it will be your pondless waterfall.
Make sure it’s one you can easily clean yourself.
