The Snorkel Vault and Cap with the Centipede® Module were designed to tackle the issues that plague large water features. Their modular design allows builders and designers the flexibility to expand the system to meet their needs.

The Snorkel and Centipede system is also excellent for increasing filtration on larger ponds and for swimming pond applications. A large bacteria surface area is needed for filtration of these features.

There are a number of ways a wetland can be installed into the ecosystem. It could be placed along the edge of a body of water, as a circular pool that then joins back to the pond, or lake via a stream or multiple waterfalls. It really is that simple and effective and not just for large pond systems. A pond as small as 5 x 6 meters will benefit from the system whilst also adding the interest of the aquatic plantings and wildlife.

Testimonial

This unique system has been modeled directly from nature.  “Wetlands, and the plants found within them are wonderful filters; they trap sediments and remove chemicals . . . water that passes through them is much cleaner, and they provide a valuable habitat for wildlife.” David Braun – The Nature Conservancy

Features and Benefits

•  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.
• Strips excess nutrients from the water column therefore reducing algae.
• Reduces physical and chemical maintenance that goes along with removing algae.
• Removes toxic metals, chemicals, and hydrocarbons flushed into the system via storm water with the help of plants and beneficial bacteria.
• Works on earth bottom and liner membrane ponds.
• Easily retrofitted onto existing ponds.
• Create a waterfall and stream by designing the wetland filter system off the perimeter of the pond.
• Add a natural aesthetic to the pond design with aquatic plants and stone.
• Ideal for retention pond construction and restoration.
