Two gauges are in the lid of the filter box. One tells you the temperature with the box and the other is an indicator that the filters are dirty and need cleaning or changing so this is a nice feature that not all filters have. There’s also a viewing window so you can see that the UVC light is working properly. One thing that sets this Blagdon series of filters apart is that each model in the range had six stages of filtration. The UV clarifier light (as shown in the picture below) kills green algae, the spray bar oxygenates the water, graded foam traps debris and waste, the Pro bio media creates healthy water, the polymer wool polishes the water andlastly, the chemical foam reduces chemical pollutants. All six filters work one after the other in sequence to produce the cleanest water at the outlet.

The filter box has both mechanical and biological filters in it. The mechanical filters are Japanese matting and has both coarse and fine grade filters, while the biological filter is bio balls. It is all pretty standard stuff but good enough to get your water filtered and clean.

Suitable for ponds between 6000-9000 litres in size or fish ponds between 3000-4000 litres in size, they can run a fountain and waterfall simultaneously. In addition, the larger 6000, 7500 and 9000 models boast another feature. As well as the fountainhead, these units have a waterfall/watercourse outlet (if using both waterfall and fountain outlets, the flow will be split). The attractive water feature oxygenates your pond water as it passes through the system, causing suspended algae particles which cause green water to clump together so that the foam filter can trap them. As a pressurised pond filter, this AllPond Solutions model can handle more water than more conventional gravity-fed filters. It sits on the side of your pond where the filters work alongside the UV steriliser/clarifier to clean your pond water. The UV clarifier light is 5W so a little on the weak side. That being said, it will still kill the green algae and causes it to clump up. The foam filters then trap the clumps, or the clumps fall to the bottom of the pond, out of the way. Pond clarifier that uses a UV light to kill single-cell algae to turn green water clear – these are usually fitted to pond filters too

Measuring at 310 x 280 x 313 millimeters, the compact dimensions of this water pump make it suitable for different installation spaces. The weight of 3800 grams adds to its portability and convenience. The Fish Mate 15000 Pressurised Bio Pond Filter with Powerclenz is a good choice of a pressurised style filter box if you already have everything else you need to clean your pond water (pump; UV clarifier). The three hose adaptor sizes let you fit this to the hoses of most filtration systems. And the automatic cleaning features reduce this chore to the minimum so this is a feature that is very useful, making cleaning and maintenance much easier. The filter sieves out solids that make the water cloudy and makes the water healthy for fish and plants. Once you have agreed to the terms of the finance agreement World of Water Partnership trading as World of Waterwill be notified and you need do nothing more. Something else I like about a lot of these pond filters is that most (not all) now come with a UV clarifier, as shown in the picture above, which helps prevent and remove green water caused by algae. Something that is probably one of the most common issues I see in ponds. Now, I’ve discussed UV clarifiers here where I talk about why I sometimes recommend having separate UV clarifiers. You can use a more powerful model as the ones built into the filter are sometimes a little underpowered, that being said, most are generally good enough.

As the pump and filter are all contained in one unit it means that there will be no need for pipes coming out of the water unless you want to feed a waterfall instead of using your fountain-head which is very simple to set up. Within minutes of your application being approved, you will be presented with the options to either e-sign or print and return your finance agreement. The hinged lid on the filter box makes it easy to open to clean the filters, this is something I have found to be not that simple with some filters I have used in the past. I like the safety feature of the micro switch that turns off the UV light if the lid is opened or removed, even if the power is still on. This prevents anyone from looking directly into the UV light and harming their eyes. Some pond filters come with a built-in pond clarifier. This is a UV light that kills the green algae in the water. The algae then drop down to the bottom of the pond and remain in the water and are caught by the filters as waste the next time through the filtration system. The EasyClear 3000 and 4500 have a maximum flow rate of 1260 lph and include a fountainhead to produce a fountain. Suitable for ponds between 3000-4500 litres in size or fish ponds between 1500-3000 litres in size, they’re the ideal pond pump and filter combination for a small pond. For a great price, you get three great features - a pump, a filter, and a fountain.

The pump has a 2,300L flow rate and you know that it works perfectly with the other two pond cleaning appliances. The UV clarifier is a must and this one comes with a 9W bulb. All three pond cleaning units are designed for small ponds, that’s those up to 6,000L with no fish but the unit will be suitable for smaller ponds with fish. ( See the Buyer’s Guide for an explanation of how this volume changes with fish or sun).Basically, the size of the pond most filters are recommended for can be as much as half if you have fish and your pond is in the sun. So, a filter of 12,000 litres might only really be suitable for a 6000 litre pond if it has a lot of fish and is in the sun. They also sell smaller and larger models, so you will be able to select the right model that will be better for your pond. The high performance pump is super efficient and has designed to last for years to come. It can be used to create a decorative fountain or waterfall in the pond. The sizes are based on ponds without any fish, so please bare this in mind when selecting a pump/filtration system that is right for you. Please take a look at the chart for a better idea of which size EasyClear is right for your pond.
