AllPondSolutions 5000L Pressurised Pond Filter Kit AUTO-PFC-5000-KIT

Auto Clean PFC-5000 Pressurised Pond Filter Kit

With AquaECO 3000 Low Wattage Pond Pump, 5m of 25mm Hosing & 3x Jubilee Clips

For ponds up to 5,000 litres

Self-cleaning filtration is usually reserved for large installations, but there is no reason a 5,000 litre pond should not have it. This kit brings the automatic PFC system down to that scale: a pressurised pond filter with built-in UV clarifier that cleans itself at the simple turn of a dial, supplied with an AquaECO 3000 pump, 5m of 25mm hosing and 3x Jubilee clips. Like the manual PFC models it is kept continually pressurised by your pond pump, which helps you maintain the best water quality for healthy pond fishkeeping.

Cleaning is motorised rather than manual. Turn the dial so the blue arrow points in the direction of the dirty water outlet, listen for the ‘beep’ indicating the start of the cleaning process, and at the second ‘beep’ the PFC pond filter unit and sponges are clean. As well as saving the labour, it means no part of the unit needs disassembling except when replacing foams or performing a full system clean.

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

Filtration

Water passes through the PFC-5000 in the following order:

1. Pond water flows into the PFC-5000 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 11w UV steriliser capable of reducing harmful bacteria and algae
5. Clean, clear and healthy water exits your PFC-5000 and returns to your pond.

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