Few manufacturers in the world have put as much effort into designing a
flexible and good value range of multi-bay filters suitable for the Koi pond
as Cloverleaf, and how refreshing to not only know that they are British but
to acknowledge they offer first class technical support to customers/end
users.
Key features of this well constructed compact "CL" range are the options
of the filters being pump or gravity feed (meaning below ground), whilst
meanwhile being very simple to maintain.

The incorporation of vortex bays, and skilful use of mechanical and
biological bays using quality mediums encompassing good water flows are
further attributes that make the range a superb and sound investment. For
very large ponds all filters can be happily installed as pairs - linked to
separate pumps or bottom drains. All systems are supplied complete With
valves and waste kits, together With a heavy duty lid capable of
Withstanding the weight of most pond keepers.
The general design concept
to both the Cloverleaf “CL” and “Genesis” range. As can be seen key
beneficial features are numerous, starting from the principles of up and
down flow through the tanks thereby keeping the water in contact With the
mediums for as long as possible. Apart from the advantageous separation and
settlement of solids in the vortex bay, the generation of an “upflow” and
the incorporation of settlement areas (With drain down valves) ensures that
the filtration mediums stay cleaner for longer – thus promoting larger
colonies of beneficial bacteria, and by default thereby establishing a
healthier pond environment. The clever design layout of the vertical
transfer ports also provides the highly useful bonus of being able to
incorporate air stones (where desired) Without the need for the pond to
appear similar to a witch’s cauldron. See link for drawing illustrates
