AllPondSolutions Pressurised Koi Fish Pond Filter with UV Steriliser Light All in one - Ponds Up to 8000 litres - PFC-8000

Gros filtre, il a fallu monter soit même la prise 220v (dommage qu'elle ne soit pas déjà faite) La lampe UV était bien installée, j'ai quand même tout démonté pour voir .. Au niveau des raccords tuyaux, c'est du gros modèle, j'ai dû adapter les raccords pour l'étanchéité (elle doit être parfaite). Couplé avec une pompe SunSun CQP-4500P ECO 4500 l/h, l'eau du bassin fut clair comme du cristal en une nuit ! Très bon matériel, nécessite d'être un peu bricoleur, mais rien de dramatique non plus quand on a fait un bassin.

Tengo un estanque de 5 x 2 metros, estaba el agua turbia completamente y en una semana ha puesto el agua clara.

très bon

Half the price of the big brand filters, but there are reasons why. Filters algae out of the pond very effectively but after a week of sunny weather, it becomes clogged and needs cleaning. Running a cleaning cycle is straightforward (turn the valve, crank the handle a few dozen times) but it requires a good 5 mins on your knees with the pump running, draining the precious pond water. I suspect that if I kept cranking the handle for half an hour- it would run clear(-ish). However, there’s a law of diminishing returns and 3mins of cranking appears to be a working compromise. To get the filter properly clear, you have to dismantle, scoop out the sludge, disassemble all the sponge rings and reassemble. Conclusion- my old Hozelock filter which had no fancy self-cleaning mechanism was actually easier to clean. [Edit, Mar 2022] I'm getting fed up with this thing - doesn't keep the water clear at all. I can see the clumped algae floating all around in the pond and the filtered water comes back semi-green from the filter. UV lamp is still lit (I can see that through the check window). I dismantled the filter in February, and there really wasn't that much muck lodged in the sponge media. There was however a HUGE amount of thick black ooze in the bottom of the filter bucket, which just sits there and doesn't get trapped in the sponge. Hence, when you open the valve and crank the handle - it doesn't get flushed out. Thinking of junking this one and finding a better performing solution. [Edit May 2022] I think I may have found the source of the problem! The plastic tube which directs the flow of water up the centre of the unit, past the Quartz UV tube and out through the rotary hand-operated diverter valve - was COMPLETELY bunged up with compacted sludge. I've had this unit for 3 years, and have up until now not removed the UV tube for inspection/replacement. Pure laziness on my part. Blasted the sludge out with a hosepipe (yes, I know, you're not supposed to use treated water to clean the filter, but desperate times...) and sucked out the remaining gunk with a wet/dry vac. Have ordered a replacement UV lamp. Will report back if that makes any difference. I noticed that the quartz tube and lamp had a scum ring about 1" up. It seems that rainwater has been getting in through the top of the unit and there's no way out. Dried that out in the sun and reassembled. The original lamp was so jammed in its socket that it pulled apart during removal.

Purchased to replace a tank type filter, this very easy to install works well and allows at the turn of a switch to clean the filters. The internal UV light is a bonus and easy to access. Very pleased with the whole system
