AllPondSolutions 5000L Pressurised Pond Filter 11w UV Easy Clean PFC-5000

A modest pond does not need a filter the size of a dustbin, but it does need the same stages of filtration. The PFC-5000 compresses them into a small pressurised body: 4 small filter foams for mechanical work, loose bio balls for the biology and an 11w UV steriliser at the exit.

Our pressurised pond filters with built-in UV clarifiers are designed to be continuously pressurised by your pond pump, maintaining excellent water quality for healthy fishkeeping. Water is fed directly from the pump through to the filter container and on to the outlet, continuously under pressure. That means the outlet can be located higher than the filter body, making the unit easier to disguise around the pond - particularly useful if incorporating a waterfall.

A rotating cleaning handle on the head handles maintenance: turn it and the interior sponge rinses clean, reducing the need to dis-assemble. When a detailed clean is required, a small float pops out of the head to tell you, and afterwards a separate outlet opens to discharge the dirty water until it runs clean.

Each unit is supplied with a built-in UV light, which effectively prevents growth of algae and eliminates harmful micro-organisms and parasites which may cause fish diseases.

Filtration

Water passes through the PFC-5000 in the following order:

1. Pond water flows into the PFC-5000 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-5000 and returns to your pond.
