Product Characteristics

The MATALA BioSteps 10 Filters maximize MATALA® filter media performance. MATALA BioSteps Filters feature the latest generation of filter media. This lightweight, versatile product is made of curly fibre thermo-polypropylene compounds and is non-toxic to the environment.

The rugged BioSteps 10 contains an amazing 200 sq.ft. of surface area for beneficial bacteria growth. Combined with a cross flow design that traps and processes more debris at high flow rates, you get unparalleled mechanical and biological filtration for superior water quality.

Combine multiple units for large or heavily stocked koi ponds or use Bio-Steps 10 with an optional UV Clarifier for improved water clarity. Universal barbed inlet (1", 1-1/4", 1-1/2"), 1-1/2" outlet.

Great website. Pond Planner is best in business.
James, Mansfield, LA
 
I just received the replacement pump (in just a few days). PondsOnline is fantastic. I have been a customer of yours since I installed a pond 2 years ago and am so impressed with service and now your warranty support. I could not expect anything more from a vendor. I will continue to use PondsOnline for all my pond  supplies.
Thanks Again.
Michael, Massapequa, NY
