Sect. 1 - Introduction
PMA 8000/16000 is a compact pressure filter for small lakes and ponds. It is easy to set and maintain. It consists of
three different filtering systems:
1. Mechanical filter Consisting of a large mass filter which enables blockage of solids. Helps in the cleaning and
sanitizing of water for both plants and fishes.
2. Biological filter Consisting of exceptional porous particles which provide an ideal environment for an intense
build-up of bacterial colonies. These aid in the elimination of ammonia and nitrite.
3. UV-C filter. A UV-C filter which is protected by a quartz tube. Aids in the elimination of the green patina which
commonly forms in ponds.
