AllPondSolutions 8000L Pressurised Pond Filter 11w UV Easy Clean PFC-8000

Pressurised Pond Filter with Built-in 11w UV 8000 Litres

A sealed, pressurised filter can be buried, hidden behind planting or tucked out of sight, because the water leaving it does not have to fall back to the pond under gravity – it can be pushed uphill, up to a maximum of 3m. That single property is what makes this style of filter so much easier to disguise, and it is particularly useful where a waterfall is part of the plan.

Your pond pump feeds water straight into the filter container and on to the outlet, keeping the unit continuously under pressure and maintaining excellent water quality for healthy fishkeeping.

Routine maintenance is handled by the rotating cleaning handle on the head. Turning it rinses the interior sponge in place, so there is no need to dis-assemble the unit for a basic clean; a separate outlet is then opened to discharge the dirty water until it runs clear. The filter tells you when a detailed clean is due, using a small float that pops out of the head of the unit.

A UV light is built into every unit, effectively preventing algae growth and eliminating the harmful micro-organisms and parasites behind many fish diseases.

Filtration

Water passes through the PFC-8000 in the following order:

1. Pond water flows into the PFC-8000 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-8000 and returns to your pond.
