AllPondSolutions Pressurised Koi Fish Pond Filter with UV Steriliser Light All in one - Ponds Up to 20000 litres - PFC-20000

Aunque el funcionamiento del filtro y su sistema de limpieza me parecen muy interesantes y funcionales, la calidad de los materiales me hizo devolver el articulo por un defecto en la tapa, una fisura que perdía agua, poca, pero seguramente con el tiempo y la presión terminaría por agrandarse. Prefiriendo no arriesgar elegí otra marca, aunque mas pequeño el filtro me parece muy satisfactorio

Nice quality of build. The hose fitting that is clear - that has the spinning propeller that shows flow - don't rely on it. It gets clogged easily. But other than that, brilliant. The turn handle seems sturdy enough. When back flowing it's nice to see the grotty water flowing away. I put the shut off valve on the waste output - such that, if the main valve fails the shut off valve will ensure that there are no leaks. Most importantly though, is that the fish are extremely happy and the water cleared in about two days, tops. Astonishing, for years I had a crappy gravity fed filter and no flow. Now I have a high power pump running at full speed - I'm probably doing 5 water changes per hour with this filter in place. UPDATE: The lamp unit is leaking a small amount of water into the tube, which is shorting my distribution board and tripping the RCD. The item is not yet one year old but there is no way of starting a return, though other items purchased at the same time offer a return facility. This is disappointing.

This filter is really good

I have a 10,000L pond, full sun all day and lightly stocked with fish. I bought the PFC-20000 to replace a Lotus Green Genie 24000 that replaced a Green Genie 12500. The GG12500 struggled to keep my 10,000L pond clear, the GG24000 didn't last 30 mins as it couldn't cope with the throughput of water and overflowed. The PFC-20000 is a joy: I'm using an All Pond Solutions Eco 8000 connected to a skimmer and 4 days after fitting it my pond had gone from pea soup to gin clear. Cleaning is a doddle (1st clean took about 120L, then again the pond was filthy and I reckon it'll only take 40-80L next time). I really wish I'd bought a pressurised filter before, no worries about overflowing and easy cleaning. Given that an Oase Filtoclean 20000 is about £390 the All Pond Solutions PFC-20000 is £190, the latter has got to be a bargain even if the cleaning is a little less easy/efficient than the Oase version.

Great item, setting up the filter was easy .I had issues with the pond water being green, water has started clearing after 1 week . looking forward to seeing it clear again this is the first year ive had this issue with green water, i love seeing my koi and carp .
