"Pond Water is cleaned when water flows from the surface
skimmers in the lower pond into bio-filtration cells filled
with rounded stones. Microorganisms form a zone around
each stone and serve to process the pond water that flows
around them.
The pond Water entering the cells typically has a high level of
solids and nutrients, primarily generated by resident
mallards and Canada geese. The remaining? nutrients are
absorbed by the wetland plants that cover the surface of the
entire wetland.
After the pond water passes through the cells and the wetland
plants, it flows to t? upper pond and then down the waterfall
to the lower pond, thereby completing the cycle."
