SNORKEL® AND CENTIPEDE® WETLAND FILTER
Our patented Snorkel® Vault and Centipede® Module were specifically designed to tackle the common issues that plague large scale water features. They are modular in design, allowing builders and designers the flexibility to expand the system to meet their needs. It is highly effective at removing sediment (suspended solids) from ponds, improves water clarity, and reduces the need for costly and invasive dredging. The filter system works on earth bottom and liner membrane ponds and is easily retrofitted onto existing ponds. It also reduces the physical and chemical maintenance that goes along with removing algae.

Wetland Filter Features:
- Highly effective at removing sediment (suspended solids) from the pond
- Easily access collected sediment with the Snorkel™ Vault, reducing the need for costly and invasive dredging
- Improves water clarity
- Works on earth bottom and liner membrane ponds
- Strips excess nutrients from the water column, reducing algae and the physical and chemical maintenance that goes along with removing algae
- Easily retrofitted onto existing ponds
- Create a waterfall and stream by designing the wetland filter system off the perimeter of the pond.
