AllPondSolutions CUP-129-1000L/H All in One Pond Pump Filter with Fountain and 9w UV Steriliser Algae Control for Ponds up to 1000L

I have read varied opinions regarding this filter/pump and I felt that I should comment upon how effective this item is. Never have two goldfish cost me so much money, firstly it was a water feature, then pebbles to make it more natural for them and latterly a form of biological compound to rid the pond of green algae. We had a filter and fountain, however it was not that effective and faring that my piscean pets were moving me towards bankruptcy, eyeing this pump at less than £40, I decided to purchase it. Obviously this is not the item for someone with a large pond, nor do I suspect does it operate as effectively as some of the external tanks and UV lights which more serious pond owners need, but for us it has ensured that our pond is well aerated - it sends a cascade of water out of the pipe which increases the surface area of the pond hugely and therefore ensures that our two fish are well provided for in regards to oxygen, we clean the filter weekly and combined with the biological agent (part of the effectiveness of the agent is negated by the UV light) are changing the quality of the water from thick green soup, to a markedly clearer liquid through which I can now see the pebbles at the bottom of the pond. I reckon a further week and the water will be completely clear. I can see the UV light is working and the fish seem to be thriving in their cleaner home The pump comes complete with two foam filters, a spare impeller and some pretty poor instructions: but it is straightforward to operate, although changing the UV bulb or impeller, I think I will rely on youtube to show me what to do. In addition, there are a number of connectors, which I am not using, but which are detailed in the product description. Cleaning the filters are very simple, you just remove the cover at either end, remove the foam filters and wash them under running water, similarly the stones which encourage biological growth can be cleaned by rinsing under a tap, however, as I am encouraging some bacterial growth, I do not clean it. Delighted so far. UPDATE FIVE YEARS ON =================== Sadly this item ceased working after 5 years of constant use. I think that the problem was we moved house and stored the pump in a dry environment for a couple of weeks. I can only assume that something happened to the seals or similar causing it to fail soon after restarting. I have ordered a replacement. In five years I have cleaned the filter weekly, never needed to replace the impeller, fully stripped the pump and cleaned it annually and changed the bulb. Less than £8 a year for an item constantly operating and apart from sun damage to the plastic pipe, looked in good condition. Still highly recommended.

Appears well built - as one would expect - and has plenty of cable. Not measures but I knew I needed a bit and this fits for me. Submerged it and switched it on and it ran for a couple of seconds only. No idea why - heart sinking moment - but I switched it off lifted it checked it, checked the impeller as suggested. Everything seemed fine. I resubmerged - made sure it was well full of water - and has been fine for an hour or so now. Nice selection of fitments. Only time will tell if it lasts but very happy with purchase.

Purchased this pump after losing all my fish during the last spell of hot weather due to lack of oxygen. This pump seems to be keeping the water clear although the front filter does need regular cleaning. Ive yet to put some fish back in the pond so can’t comment on whether it’s a success yet

This pump has turned my algae ridden small pond into the clearest body of water in 2 days!! I was amazed at how quickly the change occurred. Every Friday I would clean the pond with a micro mesh net and remove a load of algae but just couldn’t get the water to a point where I could see my fish. Within 2 days everything is visible all the way to the base of the pond. Well worth the money spent. It’s almost silent when running with only the gentle flow of water being heard. Comes with a very long cable and is simple to set up and install.

It does the job but needs to be cleaned very regularly. Although it doesn’t take long to clean it could be very difficult for some to remove the filter housing. The clips on the housing are too far apart for anyone with small hands. I end up jimmying the filter off with a screwdriver. Also the base/ stand is ridiculous as to remove the filter the base needs to be removed. Would I buy again. No

When the pump arrived, the UV bulb wasn't working so for 2 weeks it was simply a filter pump with a fountain. The filters are brilliant. Even without the bulb, the water became so much cleaner. Cleaning it out every few days as within 2 weeks of cleaning the pond and changing the water, it became so thick with algae, you couldn't see the fish. That was an old filter pump. This one filters virtually everything and now it has the replacement bulb, its getting better and better. We can see the fish, we can see the pump and the fish do seem way more active and happy. As it clears, I won't need to clean the filters as often and it will control algae growth through the UV chamber. Highly recommend this product. 2 weeks after replacement bulb arrived, you can clearly see the pump. Brilliant system

The pump works well but cleaning the main filter is a nightmare. You have to remove the baseplate and then squeeze two clips to remove the casing. However even with my big hands it is impossible to squeeze the clips hard enough to free the casing. I have to use two flat bladed screwdrivers to prise the clips open. Cleaning the pump should be a 3-5 minute job. It takes me 10-15 minutes. The main filter casing clips should be designed in parallel with the smaller filter casing and be far easier to unclip.

This, `All Pond Solutions`, `All In One Pond System`, works in a number of ways to clear and sterilise the inorganic and organic matter naturally occurring in your Pond maintaining a balance in the eco system. The First system in this All In One AIO acting to purify the Pond is a cylindrical mat upon which naturally occurring Bacteria locate and thrive digesting organic matter. Water then passes on to the Second part of this system which is an Ultra Violet Light sterilising the excess Bacteria that make it this far. A Third part is a Filter before Water is then passed back into the pond. A Fourth part to the system is located at the front of the AIO through which a portion of the Pond Water passes before it enters the Pump containing Maifan Stones, hard balls of porous cotton with a particularly strong absorption to heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, chrome, Hg, copper, zinc, manganese and nickel, and a source of important minerals to help keep the PH balance neutral. Position the AIO anywhere in the Pond though a good location would be at a depth where the exit Nozzle or Spout clears the surface of the Water allowing easy fitting of the range of options included with the package. The volume of water passing through the AIO can be adjusted by rotating the small Dial at the front though they recommend keeping it to a max setting. The UV Light Bulb is a, `9 Watt Pond Filter PLS 2 PIN G23`, there is a small area of clear plastic in the upper body of the AIO through which the light can be seen giving an easy check if the bulb is working though it is difficult to see in Day Light so leave till Night time when it is more visible looking into the Pond. Our Pond had been cleaned out and replanted with Lily`s and Aquatic Plants but we had failed to foresee that when potted a fine silt had been used which leached out of the pots and though settling as we left the Pond several days, before restocking the Fish, was promptly stirred into a cloudy mess by their actions with visibility of less than 15 cm. The AIO system was fitted and began to clear the Pond within a few hours and within 24 hours the Pond was noticeably clearer though we still couldn`t see the bottom till the Second Day. Silt which was a fine mist had begun to ball up, and the Fish seemed to like eating it, we guess filtering out what they liked and even began to nibble at the Silt and Algae that had settled on the Gravel set around the Plants by the third day helping us and the AIO to keep the Pond clean achieving and maintaining a fine eco balance, a team effort. Excellent piece of Kit and well worth the little extra cost.

ho comprato questa pompa per un laghetto autocostruito da me. Cercavo una pompa compatta che impegnasse poco spazio in altezza dato che il mio laghetto è poco profondo, che contrastasse alghe e altri depositi e....questa è fantastica. In poco più di 48 ore di funzionamento ha fatto il miracolo. Ha reso limpida l'acqua limacciosa del nuovo impianto. Ha diversi giochi d'acqua e la possibilità di avere anche una piccola cascatella. Se non si ha troppo dislivello secondo me ce la fa tranquillamente: ha una regolazione per la portata e la possibilità di sdoppiamento. Ha un filtro, un filtro a spugna di protezione della pompa e la lampada uv per le alghe. Aggiornerò la recensione appena il laghetto avrà i suoi primi ospiti per vedere come reagiscono. le foto rappresentano il prima e il dopo. REVISIONE RECENSIONE: risultato eccezionale, peccato non poter dare più stelle. Supera di gran lunga le mie aspettative. L'acqua è limpidissima, nessuna traccia di alghe o melma. Ora ci sono anche 4 pesciolini rossi che guizzano felici e sani. La consiglio caldamente a chi vuole un piccolo laghetto rilassante. AGGIORNAMENTO: a distanza di un anno dall'acquisto e dopo aver passato un inverno rigido (abito in montagna) non ha dato segni di cedimento e funziona ancora alla grande nonostante io latiti un po' nella pulizia dei filtri. Solitamente li pulivo ogni 10 giorni circa ma in tutto l' inverno mi sono limitata a farlo un paio di volte. Grazie all'aiuto di un piccolissimo riscaldatore i miei pesciolini sono allegramente sopravvissuti. Si sono formate un po' di alghe filamentose ma veramente poche e le ho rimosse manualmente. veramente un ottimo acquisto.

Super satisfait bon rapport qualité prix.filtres facile à démonter et à nettoyer

Dieselben Pumpe hatten wir schon einmal in Deutschland gekauft, da sie jetzt kaputt ging musste schnell eine neue her. Kam nach drei Tagen und wir trauten unseren Augen kaum…… mit Kabel aber OHNE STECKER !!!!!! Blanke Kabeldrähte anstelle eines Steckers . Wir mussten sie trotzdem behalten, da unser Wasser schon trüb war und die Fische dringend Sauerstoff brauchten. Sind dann losgefahren und haben uns einen Stecker besorgt!!!! Bekommen auch keine Preisminderung, da es ein Drittanbieter war!!!! So ein Mist!!!! Finger weg, oder dein Mann ist handwerklich begabt !!!!

Estoy muy contento con la compra de esta bomba para el estanque. Vino en su caja, tal cual en la foto, bien embalada y preintada. Las calidades de los materiales son buenos. El filtro que incorpora es de espuma de agujeros amplios, lo que filtra las partículas mas grandes (hiervas y maleza). A parte trae unas bolas para mineralizar el agua y una lámpara UVA que desinfecta el agua. En su conjunto se puede decir que he hecho buena compra. Una bomba muy completa a un precio razonable para usar en estanques pequeños. El único detalle que encontré es que al principio el impulsor no giraba, esto ya lo había visto en otros comentarios. El problema era que el impulsor se sujeta a través de una varilla de inox fina y va apoyado en uno topes de goma que si estos no se colocan bien el eje queda torcido y le cuesta moverse. Solucionado en 1 minuto y no se puede decir que venga mal de fábrica. A parte decir que en la caja viene con accesorios diferentes para hacer combinaciones de chorro y además trae un impulsor de repuesto. Saludos

Man sollte sich schon eine Bohle über den Teich legen falls die Pumpe in der Mitte positioniert ist, da die Pumpe spätestens alle 3 Tage gesäubert werden muss, da der Grosse und der kleine Filter zu sitzt mit grün und Algen !
