CUP-129-1000L/H All in One Pond Pump Filter with Fountain and 9w UV Steriliser Algae Control for Ponds up to 1000L

This, `All Pond Solutions`, `All In One Pond System`, works in a number of ways to clear and sterilise the inorganic and organic matter naturally occurring in your Pond maintaining a balance in the eco system. The First system in this All In One AIO acting to purify the Pond is a cylindrical mat upon which naturally occurring Bacteria locate and thrive digesting organic matter. Water then passes on to the Second part of this system which is an Ultra Violet Light sterilising the excess Bacteria that make it this far. A Third part is a Filter before Water is then passed back into the pond. A Fourth part to the system is located at the front of the AIO through which a portion of the Pond Water passes before it enters the Pump containing Maifan Stones, hard balls of porous cotton with a particularly strong absorption to heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, chrome, Hg, copper, zinc, manganese and nickel, and a source of important minerals to help keep the PH balance neutral. Position the AIO anywhere in the Pond though a good location would be at a depth where the exit Nozzle or Spout clears the surface of the Water allowing easy fitting of the range of options included with the package. The volume of water passing through the AIO can be adjusted by rotating the small Dial at the front though they recommend keeping it to a max setting. The UV Light Bulb is a, `9 Watt Pond Filter PLS 2 PIN G23`, there is a small area of clear plastic in the upper body of the AIO through which the light can be seen giving an easy check if the bulb is working though it is difficult to see in Day Light so leave till Night time when it is more visible looking into the Pond. Our Pond had been cleaned out and replanted with Lily`s and Aquatic Plants but we had failed to foresee that when potted a fine silt had been used which leached out of the pots and though settling as we left the Pond several days, before restocking the Fish, was promptly stirred into a cloudy mess by their actions with visibility of less than 15 cm. The AIO system was fitted and began to clear the Pond within a few hours and within 24 hours the Pond was noticeably clearer though we still couldn`t see the bottom till the Second Day. Silt which was a fine mist had begun to ball up, and the Fish seemed to like eating it, we guess filtering out what they liked and even began to nibble at the Silt and Algae that had settled on the Gravel set around the Plants by the third day helping us and the AIO to keep the Pond clean achieving and maintaining a fine eco balance, a team effort. Excellent piece of Kit and well worth the little extra cost.

Cleared pond quickly and continues to work. Great filter/fountain.

The unit is nice and compact and comes with a good selection of accessories and replacement items for long-term use. It quickly cleaned the pond to crystal clear. I wired it into a waterproof outdoor switch so it is easy to just turn it on and off when it needs servicing, which previous reviews would be frequent. Those reviews were right. So the pump works well and moves a decent amount of water, with good filtration and this is its downfall. It took just over a week for the pump to come to a virtual halt as all filters were entirely clogged up. The pond was not that dirty as there had been a previous external pump and filter. The instructions suggested that the pump should be cleaned out in the pond to maintain good bacteria, but this was just not possible as the filters and housing needed to be washed with a power wash to clean the imbedded muck due to the powerful flow. Bottom Line: If you want a good clear pond and a nice fountain, it’s great, but expect to clean it out frequently and use main powered water, not just shaking it out in the pond.

My pond had been in place for 13 years and I had to replace the liner 4 years ago. In all that time I have attempted to maintain the pond without any type of filter. For the first year or so I could see to a good depth. Then the algae started to take over. Even after the liner replacement, visibility was minimal as I tried to reuse some of the water to maintain a bacterial balance. To help matters I've used various potions which have clumped the algae together and I've skimmed the surface. They've helped a little bit not greatly. This year the fish were only visible at the surface and the algae appeared more luminous than in past years. I finally caved in and bought this all in one unit. It arrived promptly from All pond solutions (and they answered a query swiftly). It's very well designed and a sturdy device (although opening the UV sleeve to check for breakages is a bit heart stopping). It's also very easy to open up and clean. I didn't have round-the-clock access to power so, while waiting for an electrician to install a more permanent solution, I wired a plug to the unit and ran it 10 hours a day for a week connected to an extension reel. I noticed some improvement in the water clarity and had to clear the filters 2 or 3 times but the weather turned and prevented me from running it this way any more (extension reels and rain don't play well together). The electrician eventually arrived and fitted an outside socket for me. The filter was now running 24/7. I was initially disappointed to see little improvement after 4 weeks despite having to regularly clean the filters. Surely it would be improving or did I have too many fish to be able to expect water clarity? The unit isn't at the bottom of the pond - could that be the reason? Then suddenly at the 5 week mark, I noticed a marked improvement! I could see creases in the liner and even an outline of the filter unit. It's now another week on and things have improved further and I can see practically to the bottom of the pond. The fish appear to be very happy. Obviously there was a lot of sludge in my pond from years of decomposing lily pads along with fish waste and algae. There is still some way to go as, even though the water now appears clear, every surface (even the filter box and the hosepipe used to circulate filtered water) is quickly coated with a green layer hours after the unit is resubmerged after cleaning. But I'm still at the stage of cleaning the filters weekly so I know that the clarity will increase and the residue will reduce further. I would certainly recommend this unit. Just be aware that it can't be hurried if your pond has been in place for a long time but it WILL do the job eventually.

Brilliant pump and setting up was super easy the chambers with that bit of extra filtration really makes this a good buy pump

This pump has turned my algae ridden small pond into the clearest body of water in 2 days!! I was amazed at how quickly the change occurred. Every Friday I would clean the pond with a micro mesh net and remove a load of algae but just couldn’t get the water to a point where I could see my fish. Within 2 days everything is visible all the way to the base of the pond. Well worth the money spent. It’s almost silent when running with only the gentle flow of water being heard. Comes with a very long cable and is simple to set up and install.

Works well but filter gets clogged very easily and has to be emptied weekly on my small pond or the pump stops entirely. Very fiddly to clean but does keep water clear mostly. Light doesn’t seem to do much, very quiet overall.

Excellent, completely cleared the water within a couple of days. Looks like it will need cleaning every couple of weeks.

ho comprato questa pompa per un laghetto autocostruito da me. Cercavo una pompa compatta che impegnasse poco spazio in altezza dato che il mio laghetto è poco profondo, che contrastasse alghe e altri depositi e....questa è fantastica. In poco più di 48 ore di funzionamento ha fatto il miracolo. Ha reso limpida l'acqua limacciosa del nuovo impianto. Ha diversi giochi d'acqua e la possibilità di avere anche una piccola cascatella. Se non si ha troppo dislivello secondo me ce la fa tranquillamente: ha una regolazione per la portata e la possibilità di sdoppiamento. Ha un filtro, un filtro a spugna di protezione della pompa e la lampada uv per le alghe. Aggiornerò la recensione appena il laghetto avrà i suoi primi ospiti per vedere come reagiscono. le foto rappresentano il prima e il dopo. REVISIONE RECENSIONE: risultato eccezionale, peccato non poter dare più stelle. Supera di gran lunga le mie aspettative. L'acqua è limpidissima, nessuna traccia di alghe o melma. Ora ci sono anche 4 pesciolini rossi che guizzano felici e sani. La consiglio caldamente a chi vuole un piccolo laghetto rilassante. AGGIORNAMENTO: a distanza di un anno dall'acquisto e dopo aver passato un inverno rigido (abito in montagna) non ha dato segni di cedimento e funziona ancora alla grande nonostante io latiti un po' nella pulizia dei filtri. Solitamente li pulivo ogni 10 giorni circa ma in tutto l' inverno mi sono limitata a farlo un paio di volte. Grazie all'aiuto di un piccolissimo riscaldatore i miei pesciolini sono allegramente sopravvissuti. Si sono formate un po' di alghe filamentose ma veramente poche e le ho rimosse manualmente. veramente un ottimo acquisto.

En tres dias ha dejado el agua aceptable, los peces bien, las ranas ahora se pueden ver, con una pieza que viene he ajustado la catarata eliminando otros motores y bomba, estanque de 900 litros

Ho ricevuto questa pompa durante il lockdown e il venditore è stato molto cortese e professionale. La pompa che ho ricevuto è davvero di ottima qualità. I giochi d'acqua allegati sono molto scenografici e di vario tipo. La pompa ha anche la lampada antialghe e va molto bene per il mio laghetto. Sono proprio soddisfatta del mio acquisto.

Super satisfait bon rapport qualité prix.filtres facile à démonter et à nettoyer

Nachtrag 20.05.2019 Ich habe die blaue Filtermatte getauscht gegen ein selbstzugeschnittenes Produkt (Filterwatte für Aquarienfilter [80x25x3, passt so grad noch von der Breite]). Ich bilde mir ein, die Filterleistung was Kleinstschwebeteilchen anbelangt, ist damit besser. Siehe drittes Foto, Sichttiefe jetzt gemessen mit 70 cm (fehlen noch 20cm, ist mir aber egal). Die Pumpe hat deshalb jetzt alle Sterne verdient. Die Bitterlinge sind jetzt ganz gut zu beobachten. Man muss nur ein paar Minuten ruhig stehen bleiben, dann kommen sie und flitzen rum. Nachfolgend Erstbewertung vom 9.05.2019 (mit damals 4 Sternen): Zunächst mal was zur Pumpe selbst, der Zusammenbau war einfach. Deckel entfernen, die drei Filterkammern in ihre Halterungen stecken. Deckel wieder drauf, Teleskoprohr zusammenschrauben, die beiden Drehregler so stellen, dass der Wasserstrahl sauber noch oben durchläuft und dann noch das Teleskoprohr aufschrauben. Filterpumpe in das Wasser tauchen, ein paar Mal kippeln um Luft rauszulassen, hinstellen und Schukostecker rein. Die Reinigung gestaltet sich bislang ebenfalls einfach, neben den drei Filterkammern lässt sich auch der Pumpenmotor einfach entfernen und damit reinigen. Die UV-Lampe scheint aber mit Schrauben am Gehäuse fixiert zu sein, weiß noch nicht genau wie hier eine Reinigung möglich ist. Nach ca. 1 Woche war der Teich deutlich sauberer. Jedenfalls das Grün-/Schwebealgen-Zeugs ist m.E. weg. Sicht ist deutlich besser geworden. Aber von einer Sicht bis zum Teichgrund bin ich immer noch weit entfernt. Das Teichwasser scheint jetzt statt stark grünlich (vorher) jetzt leicht gelblich zu sein. Siehe Fotos. In den dunklen tiefen Bereich sehe ich nur etwa 40 cm, dann ist Schluss. Ist dass, weil ich so ein enges tiefes Loch habe oder weil ich keine Teichfolie sondern einen Lehmteich habe. Oder wird das auch noch besser. Ich habe seit Jahren jede Menge Lurch im Teich, manchmal auch einen Frosch. Jetzt habe ich 8 St. Bitterlinge eingebracht, welche ich noch nie gesehen habe. Pflanzen hätte ich auch genug meine ich. Wenn ich den Arm reinstrecke, bilde ich mir ein, der ganze tiefe Boden ist voll davon. Richtig gesehen habe ich die untersten Pflanzen auch noch nicht so richtig.
