Target Suction Technology Makes Pumps in Deep Water Superfluous

Dates: March to September

Summary:
In every pond the ground will slowly grow shallower. Pollen, leaves and fish excrement sink to the ground onto an ever thicker layer of mud.
Many pond filtration systems are installed as follows: The pump sits on the ground, sucks in water and sediment and transports it to the filter. Normally, however, the pump can only aspirate in one place. Thus, sediment will accumulate in many places where the pump cannot reach it.
Another problem is, that the pump can become blocked. If one wants to take the pump out of the water, this usually means having to pull the electricity cable and the suction pipe onto the shore, too.
The solution to all these problems comes with the new Target Suction Technology from the pond construction experts at NaturaGart.
With this system, the pump sits, easily accessible, on the shore and sucks in the mud from several places in the pond. The technology also allows for the use of an additional skimmer. Before, one needed several pumps to do this, but the new technology allows for pinpoint suction even at a distance of 15 metres.

Expansion:
The electricity consumption indicated for pumps refers only to the optimal efficiency. If the pump lies in the pond's mud, with blocked suction holes, it will have to work much harder and hence consume a lot more energy. You get less and less water at ever increasing costs.

The NaturaGart Target Suction Technology solves this problem. Large suction areas at different places reliably supplies the pump with sufficient water.

The system gives an extra advantage if a skimmer is used to aspire surface water. Normally this requires a separate pump. The NaturaGart system saves this cost. With the gate valves the outlets of the suction well can be  separately regulated. This way it is possible to selectively adjust the pump's flow for, say, the skimmer at 40%.
So ultimately the solution with the well always turns out to less expensive and more economical.

The distribution well exists in various sizes. It is easy to incorporate in new ponds. In existing ones it is ideally combined with a small pier. Here, too, NaturaGart has a ready-made solution.

This is how the Target Suction Technology works: Several suction surfaces aspire the sediment, a skimmer cleans the surface.	The large distribution well is 62 centimetres tall and can handle many suction points.	The small distribution well is 31 centimetres tall. Three pipes can be connected to it.
With the well NaturaGart also supplies an inexpensive compact pump without the usual complex suction enclosure.	The pump is easily accessible inside the distribution well on the shore. Several suction pipes in the deepest parts of the pond make for perfect cleansing.
