Question 1

Can I buy just the housing? Mine cracked over the winter. I have the media, filter pad etc.

Accepted Answer

It is possible to buy only the housing but it appears that the housing alone costs as much as the entire unit. Perhaps you could repair the unit with ABS plastic glue or find a used housing on ebay or a similar site. I would certainly try to repair the housing you have first if feasible. Hope this helps.

Question 2

The lid for the f200  came without holding screws; the screws openings aren't threaded. where can i get them? is there another way to secure the lid?

Accepted Answer

Savio made a change several years ago. There are no screws for the F200 and the lid is not intended to be screwed down. This is not a pressure filter and easy access to the filter is available to the unit.

Question 3

I have been told that the Spring Flow media should not be cleaned; is that correct?

Accepted Answer

Hi Joe,   The key to your question is the difference between "rinsing" and "sterilizing".   You should not try to get it sterile.  The bacteria is good.  However, a thick layer of mud will chock out much of the bacteria, suffocating it in muck.  Therefore, using the same temperature water as the pond and just rinsing off the heavy mud is a good idea.  Using very hot or very cold water or any kind of cleaning agent is a very bad idea.    Sincerely,Nate at Practical Garden Ponds 484-356-5351

Question 4

Is this a waterfall or a filter?

Accepted Answer

This is a waterfall filter. It should be placed before your waterfall feature. Savio also makes the F100 which is more suited to spill out on to your waterfall feature as it has a lip where the water exits the filter rather than a screw in connection (bulkhead fitting). Hope this helps.
