THE BENEFITS OF PRESSURIZED POND FILTERS

*Pressurized filter units can be conveniently positioned below the level of water delivery e.g. a waterfall. (Unlike overflow barrel filters or waterfall filters).

*Compact and discreet design, Can be partially buried in the ground for minimal visual impact.

*Large diameter inlet and outlet ports. Suitable for use with low pressure/wattage pumps.

*Hose connections are at the side of the unit, allowing supply and return pipes to be easily hidden.

*Versatile, multi stage (1/2", ¾", 1", 11/4") hosetails, to take all common sizes of hose.

*Servicing /maintenance can be carried out without having to disturb pipe work.

*Ready to use- all media and connections included.

*Complete and effective filtration with mechanical sponge filter and biological media. Much higher mechanical efficiency than overflow filters. Far superior to submerged filters such as Pond Master in that their capacity is higher and that a pressurized filter has a much lower tendency to clog.

*Easy to remove filter media bag, for easy cleaning,

*Canister design, incorporating unique filter bag, means alternative filter media can be used to suit user’s specific requirements.

*Lid tool supplied ensures lid is quick and easy to remove, even with wet hands.

*All spare parts and replacement filter media are readily available.

*Multiple units can be linked together to increase filtration capacity.

I do not recommend pressurized pond filters with built in UV Sterilizers, as you can not control the flow rate to the optimum level (300-500 gph)  for effective germicidal sterilization or algae control. A separate UV sterilizer is much more effective (based on my 27 years of pond maintenance).
