AllPondSolutions Pressurised Koi Fish Pond Filter Complete Kit with Pond Pump and UV Steriliser Light All in one - Ponds Up to 3000 litres - PFC-3000-KIT

Absolutely brilliant! Our pond was like pea soup and this filter cleared in within days. Wish we’d got one ages ago!

I bought the All Pond Solutions PFC-3000 for my small pond with just 2 fish in it. The all in one filter, already installed, would never keep it clean. I bought this one based on the product reviews by other buyers. The installation went well. The flexible hose supplied was difficult to fit onto the hosetails but dipping the hose in some hot water made the job a lot easier. After just one day I could see a difference in the water clarity and on the second day I could see to the bottom of the pond. I've also noticed a reduction in the algae. On day 3 the water returning to the pond had slowed down slightly so I did a filter clean with the crank handle as per instructions. Nice and easy and the water flow was restored. Very happy with my purchase, the supplier answered a couple of questions I had promptly. The only criticism I have is the filter doesn't come with any bio medium though some can be added.

Un bon produit , corresponds bien à mes attentes, filtre bien mon bassin. Il faut bien penser les nettoyer régulièrement pour un bon entretien. à par ça rien à signaler . PARFAIT

Hmmm - early days with this filter, but so far I have been less than impressed. I bought an oversized version for our pond, as it was quite dirty with a lot of suspended silt and small solids due to the previous filter failing. Fitted this new filter and 2 weeks later the pond is exactly the same! I cleaned the old filter (a Fishmate) and tried running it and it seemd to filter the water reasonably well, but I knew it would fail again so persisted with the All Pond filter. Another week, water no clearer, so I backwashed the filter, and on turning the valves back to the pond noticed great clouds of the filtered matter being blown back in to the pond! I decided to dismantle the unit, and found huge quantities of filtered sludge clogging the sponges, especially the lowest one. OK, I thought, that's what it's supposed to do. However, I decided to have a look at the paddle mechanism, and it refused to turn the lowest filter, which had clearly not been paddled clean at all! THIS IS A MAJOR DESIGN FAULT - once the sponges get heavy with water and filtered matter, the weight of them presses down onto the lowest element, and stops it turning when backwashing with the paddles, because the resistance of the sponge pressing onto the bottom of the filter apparatus is too much for the paddling mechanism. I bodged up a thin plastic disc to insert between the lowest sponge and the clip on plastic spindle arrangement, in order to support the weight of the sponge. Refitted everything, and I could instantly feel the lower resistance on turning the paddle handle. I am now waiting to see if the pond clears after spending 2 hours cleaning, modifying and refitting this filter. Not very impressed at all, especially since the paddling mechanism only cleans the outer 1-2" of filter sponge. I might go back (a new) Fishmate...

I like the fact that it’s very easy to clean
