How does a drum filter work?

A drum filter is a state-of-the-art solution for the mechanical filtration of pond water and ensures permanently clear water. At its core, a drum filter consists of a rotating drum covered with a fine filter screen. The pond water flows through this drum, with coarse dirt particles such as fish faeces, plant debris or algae sticking to the screen. As soon as the screen becomes clogged and the water flow decreases, a sensor registers the increased water level inside the filter. Rinsing is then activated automatically: the drum filter begins to rotate while high-pressure nozzles spray the dirt off the screen. The loosened dirt particles are flushed into a dirt channel and removed from the filter system. This automated cleaning process keeps the filtration performance consistently high, with minimal maintenance.

Drum filters for ponds – automatic cleaning for clear water

Drum filters are considered the gold standard in pond filter technology and are very popular with pond owners who value particularly effective and low-maintenance water treatment. In contrast to conventional filter systems, a drum filter performs cleaning almost entirely automatically, which is a huge advantage, especially in large ponds or with sensitive fish species such as koi.

How often should a drum filter be cleaned?

One of the biggest advantages of the drum filter is its automatic self-cleaning function – but how often does it still need to be cleaned manually? As a rule, the drum filter cleans the screen completely independently, which can happen several times an hour depending on the degree of contamination in the pond. The frequency of automatic rinsing depends on factors such as fish stock, season and algae growth.
