AllPondSolutions Pressurised Pond Filter PFC-5000 KIT

Everything needed to filter a small pond in one box, fountain heads included. This PFC-5000 kit combines a pressurised filter with built-in UV clarifier and an FPP-3500 L/H fountain pump, and the filter is designed to be continuously pressurised by that pump, maintaining excellent water quality for healthy fishkeeping.

Water is fed directly from your pond pump through to the filter container and subsequently the outlet, continuously under pressure. Because the outlet can sit higher than the filter body itself, the unit is far easier to disguise around the pond – particularly useful if a waterfall is part of the plan.

Routine cleaning is handled by the rotating handle on the head. Turn it and the interior sponge is rinsed in place; open the separate outlet afterwards and dirty water is discharged until it runs clean. A small float pops out of the head when a detailed clean is genuinely needed, so you are not guessing.

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.

Please note: The diagram above is only an example of the water route through the system and does not exactly match this filters features.
