Innovative Pond Filter with UVC Patented Design
The Surge filter is easy to install and is simple and quick to clean, by way of a unique, patented air syphon design (UK Patent No. GB2550495B).
Key Features:
- Keep your hands dry - Foam free, easy self-cleaning technology
- More time to enjoy your pond - Reduces filter cleaning and maintenance
- Crystal clear and healthy water - Enhanced filtration with K+Media and integrated UVC
How it works?
As pond water is pumped up through the Surge Filter the K+Media becomes a mechanical barrier that traps debris as it flows through. Waste particles remain trapped within the K+Media until they are dislodged and flushed away during the patented Air Clean Technology cleaning process.
How it cleans?
Air Clean Technology uses open cell K+Media and air to clean the filter providing a low energy and cost-effective solution. With the pump off, ball valves closed, and waste valve open, air is drawn into the filter. As air and water mix inside the filter, the media starts to move chaotically, dislodging the trapped waste. Dirty water then exits the bottom of the filter via the waste line, leaving clean media.

Installing the Surge Filter
Isn’t the Surge just a Tempest?
The simple answer is no. While both the Tempest and Surge do utilise the same Air Clean Technology they fulfil different functions within a pond filtration system.
First of all, Tempest is a polisher and to be effective must be used in conjunction with a main filter. The Tempest will trap small debris and fines down to 1 micron that slipped through the main filter. And to be effective the Tempest is positioned after your filter at an optimum flow rate of 5,000 litres per hour. Learn more about the Tempest.
Surge is an all-in-one and stand-alone filter with built-in UVC effective for ponds up to 5000L, the K+ Media traps debris from your pond with an optimum flow of 2.500 litres per hour to capture a wide range of particles sizes and the amount of K+ media is less than the Tempest so that the Air clean technology works efficient. The UVC kills harmful bacteria and clears green water. Its black body also discourages the growth of blanketweed inside the filter.
