Pond Filter with Pump Fountain Kits Built-in UV Clarifier, 660GPH/40W Pond Filters for Outdoor Ponds Clearing, Garden Fish Tank, Aquarium, and Add Water Features

It was skeptical about this pond pump and filter system, im my mind i assumed something in this price range wouldn't be effective... Well I was very wrong... I hate to admit I let my pond go for almost 2 years , i got frustrated about Hawks eating my fish and just gave up and it became a yucky, gross and brown pond for frogs to take over.. well I decided to get it up and going again and I used this and my water is crystal clear now for almost 2 months , it works great , I do have to rinse it off every few days , but I can deal with that ... This this is well worth the price and it definitely compares to the more expensive brands that those "guys" or those "bosses" have , because i have used both and this thing is right up there with those brands

Had this a little over a month and so far it's great. I wouldn't say it clears out my algea and dirt but it doesn't clog up and has been able to continuously aerate my pond. Able to get adequate flow to have both feature and fountain going at once.

Cleared my green water quickly (3 days). Works great. A little difficult to reassemble after cleaning. Just make sure that the snaps snap.

I'm excited about this pump/filter. The pump part is great - it's powerful and can easily provide water for both the fountain and an additional water feature (another fountain, a cascade, etc) or for utility uses like watering your garden from the pond, or draining it. I'm not sure how effective the filtration process will be (it's still cold out so there's not much to filter). The filter seems to be made of three different elements; a pretty open mesh foam, "bioballs" which probably just provide surface area for microbial action, and two plastic boxes containing what appear to be ceramic balls. There is also the UV light which is designed to kill algae. There is room in the case for additional filter media, should you wish to add any. My only complaint is a small one, but one I'm surprised wasn't caught during design or testing. The UV clarifier is an external element to the pump, and is attached by a wire. The wire is not long enough for the UV clarifier to install in it's slot in the housing when the pump is where it needs to be so the outlet passes out of the housing. I don't think this will impact effectiveness, but stil a surprise. See the photo. It's for this reason that the system gets four and not 5 stars.

Works but can't keep the fountain fitting in, too loose. The fitment is too loose.
