Pressurised Pond Filter PFC-50000 Full Kit with AquaECO-12000 Pond Pump

A large, well-stocked pond puts more waste into the water each day than a gravity filter can comfortably shift. Because a pressurised unit is sealed and driven by the pump, it copes with higher water flows and lets you put the return wherever you want it - including above the filter itself, which is how a waterfall gets fed without the filter body being visible.

Water is pushed straight from your pond pump into the filter container and out to the outlet, continuously under pressure. That pressure is what allows the outlet to sit higher than the filter body, making the whole unit far easier to disguise in planting or behind a rockery.

Servicing has been the weak point of pressurised filters in the past, and the rotating cleaning handle on the head deals with it. A small float pops out of the head when a detailed clean is due, so you are not guessing. Turning the handle rinses the interior sponge in place, reducing the need to disassemble, and a separate outlet then discharges the dirty water until it runs clean.

The built-in UV Light effectively prevents growth of algae and eliminates harmful micro-organisms and parasites which may cause fish diseases.

Filtration

Water passes through the PFC-50000 in the following order:

1. Pond water flows into the PFC-50000 via your pond pump
2. Initial filtration begins by removing large particles through a mixture of coarse and fine filter foams (mechanical filtration)
3. Water passes through tumbling K2 media reduces harmful ammonia and nitrite from the water with the help of good bacteria (biological filtration)
4. Then the water passes across bio balls that harbour good bacteria across large surface area (biological filtration)
5. Lastly the exiting water is exposed to a 55w UV steriliser capable of reducing harmful bacteria and algae
6. Clean, clear and healthy water exits your PFC-50000 and returns to your pond
