The filtered water then cascades over the spillway, creating a beautiful waterfall while returning clean, oxygenated water to your pond.Perfect For Koi ponds and water gardens up to 1,000 gallons Backyard pond installations Decorative water features Fish ponds requiring biological filtration Natural-looking waterfall displays FAQQ: What size pond will this filter?A: The Small AquaFalls is designed for ponds up to 1,000 gallons.
