Check out the New Aquascape Pond Components designed to simplify installation Maximize Surface Area, and make Cleaning the Filter Easier than Ever!

A wetland filter is a modular, up-flow constructed filtration system mimicking the natural processes of a wetland. Engineered for outstanding water quality, this system is modular, making it scalable for a wide variety of pond sizes.

*Filter Size reflects components only; surrounding backfill excluded

**Note: Listed Liner dimensions contain only the wetland filter and backfill and do not include any liner needed for
outflow into the pond.
In most installations, a larger liner will be required to accommodate outflow
as well as outcroppings, plantings, and boulders around the filter.
