AllPondSolutions Auto Cleaning Pressurised Pond Filter AUTO-PFC-20000

Auto Clean PFC-20000 Pressurised Pond Filter

For ponds up to 20,000 litres

Seven filter foams and an 18w UV lamp mark the point where these filters start being specified for serious fish stocks. This unit is rated for ponds of up to 20,000 litres.

Across the automatic PFC range, built-in UV clarifiers are paired with self-cleaning filter bodies that need nothing more than the turn of a dial. As with the manual PFC models, your pond pump keeps the unit continually pressurised, which is what sustains the water quality healthy pond fishkeeping depends on.

The motorised sponge cleaning system is what removes the chore. Turn the dial so the blue arrow points towards the dirty water outlet; a first 'beep' marks the start of the cleaning process and a second 'beep' tells you the unit and its sponges are clean. No part of the filter has to be taken apart at all, other than to replace foams or carry out a full system clean.

A UV light is built into every automatic cleaning PFC pond filter, helping to prevent algae growth and eliminating micro-organisms in the pond water which can lead to fish diseases.

Please note: The diagram above is only an example of the water route through the system and does not exactly match this filters features.

Filtration

Water passes through the PFC-20000 in the following order:

1. Pond water flows into the PFC-20000 via your pond pump
2. Initial filtration begins by removing large particles through a mixture of coarse and fine filter foams (mechanical filtration)
3. Then the water passes across bio balls that harbour good bacteria across large surface area (biological filtration)
4. Lastly the exiting water is exposed to a 18w UV steriliser capable of reducing harmful bacteria and algae
5. Clean, clear and healthy water exits your PFC-20000 and returns to your pond.
