Clever ideas so that nobody sees him

Problem pond filter

A pond filter is anyway in many cases not necessary at all. The natural cleaning effect of aquatic life, microorganisms and plankton is usually sufficient to to keep the water in equilibrium and to "overturn" the pond (complete algae growth of the pond) impede.

Filters are always necessary where there is a fish population in the pond and where large quantities are being fed. In this case, the aquatic organisms can no longer clean the pond sufficiently and a filter must ensure that the water is clear.

Of course, a reasonably natural look should also be retained in this case. The plastic filter housings with their unattractive appearance are often very annoying.

Opportunities to hide

There are some creative possibilities to make the pond filter "optically disappear":

• Cover the filter with covers
• Building over the filter with small model houses
• Cover the filter with a small, discarded barrel

Covers for the filter

There are suitable covers for many filters, most of which are available in the form of natural stones. They are often made of GRP, glass fiber reinforced plastic, and are actually very similar in appearance to real stones.

This can be a good and easy way to make the pond filter disappear. Of course, you can also build such covers yourself.

Cover by model house

It can be very attractive to build a small thatched roof house or another, as traditional as possible, house in which the ugly-looking pond filter is then housed.

Those who like to do handicrafts can easily build such a house themselves. In many gardens there are lovingly designed, small works of art by the pond, which then significantly enhance the pond.

Cover with a small barrel

Anyone who can get hold of a small, discarded barrel or find a suitable decorative object can also place the pond filter in it. The outlet of the barrel is then also the outlet of the pond filter. This is optically consistent and looks extremely attractive.
