AllPondSolutions 5000L Pressurised Pond Filter Easy Clean PFC-5000-KIT

PFC-5000 Kit with Aqua-ECO 3000 Pond Pump

Includes pond filter, pond pump, 2x jubilee clips & 5m improved heavy duty hosing

Setting up a first pond filter usually involves at least one return trip for a fitting nobody mentioned. This kit avoids it: filter, pump, hosing and clips arrive together and are already matched to each other.

The filter is one of our pressurised pond filters with built-in UV clarifiers, designed to be continuously pressurised by your pond pump and to maintain excellent water quality for healthy fishkeeping. Water is fed directly from the pump through the filter container to the outlet, continuously under pressure, so the outlet can be positioned higher than the filter body - making the unit easier to disguise around the pond and particularly useful if incorporating a waterfall.

A rotating cleaning handle on the head keeps upkeep simple: turning it rinses the interior sponge clean, reducing the need to dis-assemble. The unit tells you when a detailed clean is due via a small float that pops out of the head, and once rinsed a separate outlet can be opened 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.
