Savio Engineering's LivingPonds 22" Biological Filtering Waterfall
Features and Technical Specs
Livingponds Waterfall Filter gives professional results instantly. Create a dynamic waterfall with a 22" weir. Savio Lingingponds Filters harness the natural dynamics of moving water. Their carefully engineered cylindrical design puts pond water into a highly dynamic, self-cleaning spin cycle. This process removes the heaviest debris before it gets into the filter media and ensures that the water is evenly distributed throughout the entire filter chamber. The result? A filter that operates nearly 3 times more effectively than square filters.
The Savio Engineering SkimmerFilter and LivingPonds Waterfall has no need for a check valve. The SpringFlo Media within the LivingPonds Waterfall acts as both mechanical and biological filtration with 60% more efficient filtering than square box filters. The inlet into the waterfall is on the top of the backside where water is forced down in a vortex chamber to the bottom of the unit and then rises back up in the filtration chamber, through the SpringFlo Media and through another layer of mechanical filtration pad.
Springflo Bio Filter Media's performance is unmatched. Unlike copies, this patented ribbon encourages better adhesion and proliferation of bacteria using a special formulation of polypropylene and calcium carbonate. The textured surface is embossed with millions of dimples to rapidly secure and develop beneficial microorganisms. It does not clog and resists channeling and compaction in up-flow and horizontal-flow low pressure filter chambers. Negative buoyancy keeps it in place.
Simply shake it and drain the filter. Other media is prone to clogging, requiring rigorous cleaning, which disrupts healthy bacteria. SAVIO Springflo is very durable, lasting 3-5 years.
SAVIO Springflo Bio Filter Media provides enormous surface area while being light and compact. Shipping and storage is easier. Each roll contains 180 sq. ft. of surface area, suitable for up to 3 cu. ft. of filter volume.
Simply hold above filter and start unwinding media from inside center. It dispenses itself!
.
High performance, patented, clog and channel resistant. Included in every Livingponds filter.
Savio Engineering's Compact Skimmerfilter with 8.5" Weir Assembly
Features and Technical Specs
Undoubtedly the hardest working gardening product in your pond, the Savio Skimmerfilter™ dramatically reduces pond maintenance while blending seamlessly with the surrounding landscape. Combining four types of filtration for superior pond water clarity - its all-in-one approach reduces plumbing and eliminates the need for extra plumbing and equipment. All four systems work in harmony, in one easy-to-install unit that saves you time and money.
UV Filtration - Savio Skimmerfilters™ are the only skimmers on the market with a patented integrated UV system (sold separately) - a safe, chemical free way to eliminate green water.
Skimming Action - Pulls debris from the surface of the water, capturing in a rigid leaf basket with handle for clean, no mess disposal
Biological Filtration - Filter media provides a surface for beneficial bacteria to colonize the skimmerfilter, converting biological waste from fish, ammonia and other toxins to inert forms for healthier ponds.
Mechanical Filtration - The skimmerfilter protects and extends the life of your pump, providing a place to conceal ugly equipment and plumbing. When used with a biological filtration system, the skimmer prefilters debris allowing your filter to work more efficiently.
The skimmerfilter's super strong injection molded housing and cylindrical design resists warping and compaction in the ground, winning the approval of landscape and irrigation professionals everywhere.
When properly used the Savio Skimmerfilter, the UVinex UV Clarifier also assists in the control of parasites and bacteria. Providing clear, clean, safe, pristine water. Great when there are small children and pets around. No plumbing knowledge required! Modular design allows for easy installation. This integrated approach costs less than buying a separate standalone component and is easier to maintain. A great product that assists in making your water feature one step closer to maintenance free existence.

FAQs & Calculations to Help Select the Correct Kit
1. What is EPDM?
EPDM is an elastomeric compound that is manufactured from ethylene, propylene, and a small amount of diene monomer. These ingredients are synthesized to produce a product that exhibits a high degree of ozone, ultraviolet, weathering and abrasion resistance, and outstanding low temperature flexibility. These ingredients also contribute to resistance to acids, alkalis, and oxygenated solvents (i.e. ketones, esters, and alcohols).
2. What is the maximum size sheet for EPDM membrane?
Sheets as large as 50 feet in width are produced mostly for use in ballasted and mechanically fastened applications. Narrower widths are also produced to offer applicators greater flexibility in positioning membrane. Narrower sheets are also produced without factory seams (seamless) for use primarily in adhered and mechanically fastened applications. The major advantage of seamless material is the elimination of factory splice T-joints that occur when factory seams intersect with field splices. This reduction in T-joints significantly increases the potential for watertight performance by eliminating potential "water channels" into field splices. Both narrow and wide sheets are manufactured in varying lengths from 50' to 200'.
3. What size liner do I need?
The formula for sizing a pond liner is:
(Pond Length') + (2 x Pond Depth') + (2') = Liner Length'
(Pond Width') + (2 x Pond Depth') + (2') = Liner Width'
So... if you want a finished pond that is 12' long, 7' wide, and 3' deep; then using the formula above, the liner size you need is:
(12') + (2 x 3') + (2') = 20' Long
(7') + (2 x 3') + (2') = 15' Wide
This basic formula will work for ALL pond shapes.
4. How many gallons of water is in my pond?
The formula for determining the number of gallons of water in a pond is simple.
For Square and Rectangular Ponds:
(Pond Length') x (Pond Width') x (Pond Depth') x 7.5 = Gallon Size
For Round Ponds:
(Radius') x (Radius') x (3.14 Pi) x (7.485) = Gallon Size
So... if you want a finished pond that is rectangular in shape, and is 12' long, 7' wide, and 3' deep; then using the formula above, the gallon size of your pond is:
(12') x (7') x (3') x 7.5 = 1,890 Gallons
5. How deep should I make my water feature?
For fish ponds, a depth of at least 18", or deeper is recommended. Healthy fish LOVE to move up and down, as well as side to side!
For water gardens, the water feature should have a depth of at least 12", or deeper.
Check your local fence requirements (building codes) and freeze line depth.

(Pond Width') + (2 x Pond Depth') + (2') = Liner Width'
So... if you want a finished pond that is 12' long, 7' wide, and 3' deep; then using the formula above, the liner size you need is:

4. How many gallons of water is in my pond?
The formula for determining the number of gallons of water in a pond is simple.
For Square and Rectangular Ponds:
(Pond Length') x (Pond Width') x (Pond Depth') x 7.5 = Gallon Size
For Round Ponds:
(Radius') x (Radius') x (3.14 Pi) x (7.485) = Gallon Size
So... if you want a finished pond that is rectangular in shape, and is 12' long, 7' wide, and 3' deep; then using the formula above, the gallon size of your pond is:
(12') x (7') x (3') x 7.5 = 1,890 Gallons
5. How deep should I make my water feature?
For fish ponds, a depth of at least 18", or deeper is recommended. Healthy fish LOVE to move up and down, as well as side to side!
For water gardens, the water feature should have a depth of at least 12", or deeper.
Check your local fence requirements (building codes) and freeze line depth.
