AllPondSolutions 12000L Pressurised Pond Filter 11w UV Easy Clean PFC-12000

A gravity-fed box filter has to sit at the pond's water level and dump its output straight back in, which leaves you few places to hide it. A pressurised unit does not. Because the PFC-12000 stays under constant pressure from your pond pump, its outlet can sit higher than the filter body itself - so the whole thing can be buried, screened or tucked behind planting, and the return can feed a waterfall.

This model handles ponds up to 12000 Litres and carries a built-in 11w UV, and the pressurised design maintains excellent water quality for healthy fishkeeping while coping with higher water flows than traditional gravity filters allow.

Routine servicing has been reduced to a single movement. A rotating cleaning handle sits on the head of the unit; turn it and the interior sponge is rinsed clean without any dismantling. A small float pops out of the head to tell you when a detailed clean is due, so you are not guessing. After rinsing, open the separate waste outlet and discharge the dirty water until it runs clear.

The built-in UV Light does the biological heavy lifting, effectively preventing growth of algae and eliminating harmful micro-organisms and parasites which may cause fish diseases.

Filtration

Water passes through the PFC-12000 in the following order:

1. Pond water flows into the PFC-12000 via your pond pump
2. Initial filtration begins by removing large particles through a mixture of coarse and fine filter foams (mechanical filtration)
3. Then the water passes across bio balls that harbour good bacteria across large surface area (biological filtration)
4. Lastly the exiting water is exposed to a 11w UV steriliser capable of reducing harmful bacteria and algae
5. Clean, clear and healthy water exits your PFC-12000 and returns to your pond.
