Constructed wetlands or Farm and Retention pond filtration systems have grown in popularity, especially in Morris, Somerset, and Hunterdon County, NJ , over the last couple of years mainly because of their natural look,aesthetic appeal, and incredible filtration. But what exactly is a wetland and just how does it function?
A wetland works just like a bio-fall filter, but instead of creating a waterfall; it creates an area in your pond thick with naturally-filtering aquatic plants and rocks and gravel, which provide a surface for beneficial bacterial colonization … nature’s perfect filters. So a wetland filter, while naturally beautiful and pleasing to the eye, is a great biological filtration method, and will help keep your water looking crystal clear. One of the greatest things about wetland filtration is that it can be constructed and used within virtually any system. But will it fit in with your pond? Do you have to have a lot of space to construct a wetland for your pond? There are no size limitations because it acts as your biological filtration. The plants, rocks, and gravel act as the filtration media, similar to what you see in nature. |

What are the Benefits of Farm and Retention Pond Filtration (Wetland Filtration)?It looks beautiful and it might be designed like a wetland straight out of the marshlands, but how clean does it keep the water? Some say it’s even better than a biological filter, but in actuality, the benefits are very similar. Wetland filtration balances out your water very well, sometimes better than the biological filter, and once it is balanced, your pond will require less water treatment application. When constructed properly wetlands filtration is a biological filter on steroids.

The Bottom Line........is that constructed wetlands work in northern New Jersey, 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. |
