allpondsolutionsPressurised Koi Fish Pond Filter with UV Steriliser – All in one UV Pond Filter System - Easy to Clean & Maintain - for Outdoor Ponds Up to 20000 litres - PFC-20000

I have had this running in my pond for just over a month now. It is fantastic. The pond cleared up lovely after a day and the water has stayed crystal clear since. Cleaning it is a breeze and I was surprised how mucky the pond got in such a short time. Every week I go out there, turn the handle and clear the filter, as easy as that. Will have to see how it copes in the warmer months, but so far so good and so much cheaper than the Hozelock ones.Setting it up was a breeze and pretty straight forward. I wouldn't want to keep opening it and cleaning it out all the time because the metal belt that fastens it together was a little fiddly to close up, but I can't see it needing to be opened.I would highly recommend this filter

Very easy to set up (15 minutes max with the right fittings). Extremely impressed with the result as now we have cristal clear water, no sign of the algae and very happy fish.We have a medium pond of approx 6000 liters of water, 25 quite big kiss, a powerful 24000l / per hour pond pump, a UV external filter (we didn't even need the one encapsulated in the filter but we thought it may be useful sometimes in the future) and it took this filter one hour to clean the water, one night for the cristal clear result.Impecabile delivery. Order it Wednesday at noon, got it at 7.30 am next day. Yeah... The post man woke my friend in time to go to work :) also we have Prime.

Great filter easy to get up and running and it's cleared the pond in a couple of days. I would have liked to have seen a longer cable on the light unit as it was only about half the length of my previous filter

This was delivered on 28th and on the 7th day the pond was gin clear!I have been battling with the pond and spent hundreds on treatments and IUV filters. The old UV burst in the minus 10 temps over winter and I decided to upgrade my inherited filter to an integrated one.I was shocked by the size of it when it came as my previous one was like a small bucket.Very easy to set up. Flushed the filter last night as water was still a little murky and water took a min to run clear.Wish I bought this when I first moved here as the constant vacuuming and filter cleaning never had an effect.Photos are day one and day 7!Will update if any problems occur

Really bad filter keep away from it. Even with regular cleaning the filter blocks. The cleaning mechanism also destroys the sponges in less then 2 monthsEven turning the handle to clean the filter doesn’t get all the dirt out you have to dismantle the whole filterWould not recommend this filterMy Hozelock filters are 10 years old and still in perfect working orderPhoto shows the wear on them

This is the second 20000 pfc I have bought. The first bought Aug 2016 leaked pond water past the seal on the quartz tube into the UV ballast and shorted it out - after the warranty expired! I bought a replacement because I needed a new ballast, 7 new sponges and a new UV bulb - total cost circa £85, Amazons price for a new filter was £106 - no brainer really, and plenty of spare just in case!Now, things to know.(i) When you replace the uv bulb it's vital to liberally coat the 'O' ring with vaseline to prevent water ingress into the ballast.(ii) After thorough cleaning make sure you take careful note of which way round the individual filter foams and the media basket are replaced, it's easy to put them in the wrong way round and the instructions are not clear.(iii) The instructions suggest installation 2 metres from the pond, this is a safety issue should it fall into the pond. Your installation method or pond design will probably negate this requirement.(iv) It's important to control blanket weed through other methods (chemical or bio) otherwise it severely clogs the filters (leading to premature filter foam wear when spin cleaning) and water direction knob thus leading to the need for more regular thorough cleaning.(v) When spin cleaning the muck coming out will seriously clog your lawn so try to direct onto the garden.Overall I have been very pleased with the effectiveness of the filter and the price on Amazon is a bargain.

Not bad

Excellent fish pond filter. Keeps my pond crystal clear and is easy to clean. Both regular clean and deep clean really easy to perform.
