When to clean filter?
I've got an Oase Filtoclear 800 for my small (400 gallon) pond. It has
a lever to backwash the filter and send the dirty water out a different tube. I'm to turn the lever, then pull on a handle that apparently compresses the foam elements in the filter, helping to clean the filter. The question: When should I do this, and how often? Isn't the filter supposed to build up beneficial bacteria? Won't the backwashing process just wash away this good stuff? Also, do I need to do a more thorough cleaning of the filter than this? Many thanks. |
