Want to know the easiest and fastest way to clean a wetland filter for a pond, recreational swim pond, lake, or habitat?
This video shows you…
1. When it is time to clean a pond or lake wetland filter
2. The best tools to use to quickly drain and rinse the pond sludge
3. What a dirty wetland filter looks like
4. How beautiful a clean wetland filter is
We also give tips on plant sustainability via fertilizing them with pond sludge pumped from the wetland, on the benefits of watering planting beds with pond water, and how microclimates benefit the pond wetland plant selection.
1. Wetlands are the “kidneys of the landscape”
Similar to human kidneys, the organs that extract waste from our blood and balance body fluids, wetlands have the ability to clean the water that flows through them, mitigate large flood events and recharge underground aquifers.
Wetlands can also provide fisheries and timber resources, habitat for biodiversity , and protect coastal communities from extreme events, such as typhoons and hurricanes. They also make lucrative destinations for ecotourism, shoring up the bottom line for local economies across the globe.
2. Wetlands can mitigate climate change
Coastal wetlands such as mangroves forests sequester and store large quantities of blue carbon in the vegetation and the sediment below. “Blue carbon” is the carbon that is stored naturally by marine and coastal ecosystems, hence the name. Blue carbon ecosystems hold a LOT of carbon - a given area of mangrove forest, for example, can store up to 10 times as much carbon as the same area of land-based forest. It’s important to protect and conserve blue carbon because the release of this carbon into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide (CO2) is a major driver of climate change.
3. Wetlands are a habitat for biodiversity
The species found in wetlands are some of the most unique in the world because they’ve evolved specifically to survive in these hydrologically changing ecosystems. Alligators, crocodiles, muskrats, nutrias, fish species and hundreds of birds, including mallards, geese and herons are all found in wetlands. More than half of the 800 species of protected migratory birds in the U.S. relay on wetlands. The vegetation found in wetlands is also unique as they have evolved to survive in seasonally flooded and saline conditions. Some examples include the cattail in freshwater wetlands and mangrove species in coastal wetlands.

Wetlands Work!
The bottom line is that constructed wetlands work, and they make any pond look natural and gorgeous. What’s more, natural wetlands and the associated riparian habitats are the most biologically diverse habitats on earth, more species of plants and animals are associated with them than any other type of ecosystem.

But because of our construction practices and changes to natural hydrology, these systems are under great stress. By adding a small wetland in your customer’s backyard, you’ll be helping to preserve the natural biodiversity of your community. With today’s growing tendency toward creating sustainable landscape solutions, you can see why wetland filtration is an obvious choice for today’s environmentally-conscious consumer.
