Had been using a solar filter but obviously when there was no sun it didn't filter so I decided to buy a more expensive power corded filter. So far I'm impressed with the filter and have seeing a vast improvement in water quality. The fish seem to be happier(if that makes sense)Keep in mind that the UV light needs to be replaced (as per manufacturers advice). I did a quick search and the price seems to be around the $50AU mark. Also you will find they need to be connected to a power plug so you will need 2 of them, easy enough to connect. It is compatible to Australian power supply.Would recommend.

I thought I'd wait a few weeks to write a review to see how it went.Good - it does keep the water really very clear. I installed it after I had a complete pea soup. I installed this along with some of the algae treatment from the same manufacturer. It took about two weeks but now the pond is clear. I have quite a big pond, 7mX3m so I'm not surprised it took a while.The filters are pretty easy to clean and well designed.The UV light appears to do its job.The cables are good and long making it easy to get to a socket.The power consumption is relatively low. My socket is showing it at 24.5Watts.The fountain is pretty.It has two water outlets. One for the fountain and another which you could attach onto a water feature or a hose pipe. I attached it to a hose pipe so I can have a good flow of water from opposite sides of the pond.Negatives - the fountain extender snapped the first day of ownig it. You need to be careful lifting it out the pond, only use the handle and nothing else.The decorative light stopped working after one week. I tried changing the bulb but to no avail. It's a pitty as when it worked it looked nice. I don't care enough to send it back though.It needs two sockets for the two supplies, the pump and the uv light, this might be a pain for you. In addition it needs you to install two plugs as it comes only with bare wires (it's the law apparently)Overall its a good product, but not perfect, nice to have everything in one package with minimal faff.

This all in one pond pump has worked a treat in my pond which was very murky like green pea soup! It was easy to assemble and wire into my waterproof electric box. Two wires ( one for the pump and led light, and the other for the UV light). At first the led light did not work even though I positioned the rubber cover over the light sensor so that the light should come alight whether in daylight or night-time. However I positioned the pump into the pond and the pump and waterfall worked ok. Out of the blue the led light came on! So I removed the rubber cover from the sensor and the light went out. After dark the led light came on, so all was working as it should. After a day the pump pressure seemed a bit low so I turned off the power and cleaned out the filters which were clogged up. I did this each day for 4 days and the pond became really clear so that I could easily see all the fish and actually see the bottom of the pond! I will only need to clean the filters about once a month or so from now on.This is a great pump as it does everything without having to buy separate filters or UV lights.

Increíble!! En solo 3 días mi mini estanque se 250L paso de ser verde ( ni se veían los peces) a agua cristalina. Un 10... la iluminación nocturna queda de maravilla . Lastima no hacerlo comprado antes, 2 cambiando agua, añadiendo productos químicos.. y este filtro en 3 días lo deja perfecto..

We've had pond filters/pumps for years, and this one is the best yet.The traditional set-up is a pump, some hose to the UV, then into a tank with foam filters, bio media, and back into the water. This works the other way round sucking the water in through the top, through course foam, finer foam, very fine thin foam, bio media, UV and then the pump. All under the water, so it will never leak or pump the pond dry. Genius.Cleaning our old one was a real chore, and very messy. The pump always needed cleaning as it got wrapped in weed, sometimes the hose needed cleaning, the UV was of dubious use after as it was always mucky, and the foam was very messy to lift out and clean. Leave it too long, and it would overflow and the pond level would promptly drop.With this you can either have a fountain, and it comes with a variety of pipes and spouts, or you can add a hose to use a pond side ornamental object. I've stayed with the supplied fountain, which gives a really good 'running water' noise. The fountain outlet adjusts in every direction, so if like me your pond bottom isn't that flat, and the water level varies depending on how much it's rained, you can still get the fountain to spray straight up from the water level. The LED lights illuminate the fountain and are surprisingly effective. You can cover the sensor, so they don't have to be on if you don't want them.It's been running for a couple of months, and I waited to review it until I knew how it was working. The water is now crystal clear, which the other products very rarely achieved. It's really simple to clean. I leave the handle upright as it's in around 18 inches of water, and this makes it very easy to lift out to clean it. My pond volume is close to the maximum suggested, and has some large goldfish in it. The instructions suggest washing the filters in a bucket of pond water, but it's much easier to just hose them clean. (I leave the bio media alone unless it's really nasty.) As you lift it out of the pond, the main weight is the water in it, so I tip it so it goes back into the pond, and then lift it out nearly empty and much lighter.It's been really well thought out. Once the pump dropped off, and this was due to the fitting holding it to the main body unscrewing. I did have to take it completely to bits to re-fit that bit, but that was only 4 small screws and some time. I have been cleaning it weekly, but I'm probably contributing to that by using treatments for blanket weed and muck digestion, making it work quite hard. You know when it needs a clean, as the fountain gets smaller. There's also algae which needs cleaning off the lights and fountain head to keep them working well.Handy tip, use an upturned garden soil sieve to put the dirty foam on, and hose through it to clean them. Do it on the lawn, and it's free lawn food as well. It's possible to clean it all with only your hands getting wet - with care.
