Accordingly, a filtering system for ponds is provided. The system includes a pond filtering and skimming device having defining a first internal chamber. Disposed within the chamber is a removable net disposed between the inlet and filter to entrain any objects which flow into the first chamber along with the pond water and a biological filter to filter at least a portion of any nutrients out of the pond water flowing within the first chamber. Water from the first internal chamber is preferably pumped to a bottom portion of an internal second chamber formed by a tank. The water flows upward through a second filter within the second chamber which filters at least a portion of the nutrients out of the water. The water flows upward from the filter and is discharged back into the pond from the tank to form a waterfall by flowing outward over a ledge of the tank.

A filtering device for a pond having a liner adapted for pond water retention, and having pond water with a pond water surface level and material floating thereon, comprising: an enclosure having side walls defining an internal chamber and positioned adjacent the pond with a substantial portion thereof beneath the pond water level, said enclosure having at least a pair of horizontal strengthening ribs formed by opposing side walls of said enclosure forming inwardly projecting ledges therein, and said enclosure including means for providing a pond water inlet into said chamber positioned at the pond water surface level so as to receive pond water and material floating thereon from the pond; pump means in fluid communication with said chamber for pumping water out of the chamber and creating a flow of the water within said chamber from said pond water inlet means to a pump means inlet in fluid communication with said pump means; filtering means within said chamber supported on said inwardly projecting ledges for filtering nutrients out of the water flowing within the chamber; and net means within said chamber disposed between said pond water inlet means and said filtering means for entraining material floating on the water in the pond swept into said chamber by the flow through said pond water inlet means.
