A filtering system for use with fish-containing ponds and bodies of water is disclosed. More particularly, the filtering system includes chambers for harboring micro-organisms which clean organic waste from the water flowing therethrough from the pond. The chambers include by-pass conduits so that a given chamber may be taken out of service for cleaning without interrupting the flow of water through the rest of the system. Further, movable walls are provided so that several chambers contained in a single structure may be varied in number and in size according to a pond\s requirements. Also included is an air manifold for use in supplying air to the micro-organisms.

A filtering system for filtering the water in a man-made pond of the type containing fish, said system comprising: means for defining a plurality of chambers with at least one of said chambers having micro-organisms for scavenging organic waste matter from the water entering said chambers from the pond, said means being a single structure having end walls, side walls, a floor and including intermediate walls between and defining adjacent chambers, said intermediate walls including hollow enclosures devoid of water; inlet means attached to and extending between said single structure and the pond for directing water from the pond to said single structure; outlet means for directing water from said single structure to the pond; first conduit means fluidly connecting each of said plurality of chambers, said first conduit means being disposed in each of said hollow enclosures; and second conduit means for being selectively integrated into said first conduit means whereby the flow of water through the system may bypass at least one chamber.
