Is more filtration in a pond is always better?

If you’re in the drinking water industry more filtration is always better.

If you’re in the swimming pool industry, more filtration is always better.

But if you’re in the pond industry, more filtration is not always better.

However, more filtration is always more expensive in more ways than one.

You can over-filter a pond and create maintenance problems that are best avoided.

Factually speaking, Nature keeps its koi in some pretty unclear water. If you can see a dime on the bottom of your pond, it’s more than good enough. Avoid over-filtering your pond and avoid unnecessary headaches and cost.
