Koi Pond Aeration Kit, For Ponds from 2000-8000 gallons Review

Koi Pond Aeration Kit, For Ponds from 2000-8000 gallons
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have considered aeration for a long time for my koi pond.During the summer months (in So Cal), our waterfall doesn't provide enough oxygen.This is an easy to install solution that provides a BUNCH of aeration, which in addition to helping the fish, it clarifies the water tremendously.My pond is 3600 gallons and only 3.5 feet deep, so I had to do a slight rework of the aerator head, as it was putting too much air in one place (in a deeper pond it may have been fine).I split the 2 aerator heads by using the excess hose that comes with the unit and a few extra parts.This is the perfect size unit for our size pond. Very satisfied so far.Also happy with the low electricity usage.

Sunterra 370012 Sunterra Waterfall Gardens Complete Pond Kit, Two Ponds With Waterfall Review

Sunterra 370012 Sunterra Waterfall Gardens Complete Pond Kit, Two Ponds With Waterfall
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I set mine up with my dad about 2 months ago and it was pretty easy installation. I have to agree that the filter is not so great. It clogs up and you have to clean it every few days depending on quantity of fish and plants. So i suggest short roots for floating plant or grounded roots. Koi fish makes the pond really come alive as they are very active and friendly. My pond first pond dimensions are about 5' by 5' by 1.5' and a small river connects to a smaller pond which is circular and has a circumference of about 2'. max depth is 6". So my pond holds a little over 200 gallons. So im giving this one a 4/5 because of the filter. But hey what do i know? This is my first pond. Might get a second smaller one next summer

I bought this product in June with the filter to hook up to it, right around algae season.All things considered, this is the most bang for my buck I've ever gotten.My pond water has been crystal clear since I installed this.Not very loud (barely a hum, probably less if you have a deeper pond), and quite powerful, this is one of the best investments I have made for my pond.

Is working well after two years, even had it running in below freezing temps and partially submerged too (neither of which you are supposed to do) and it didn't break.My pond is 1-1.5 feet deep and about 8 ft by 6 ft with a 4 foot waterfall and this pump gives a nice fountain and waterfall flow.It is much better than the one I had which came with the liner in a kit.Easy to disassemble and clean too.It recommnds removing cleaning and bringing inside in the winter which I do.Does not get clogged either even with mounds of leaves in the pond.Was even running when the pond was iced over and the fountain actu8ally made a hole in the ice.Good product and supposedly attaches easily to a filter which I still have to get. It has a prefilter (cage) around the pump though which I guess is why it doesn't clog.

Pondmaster PMK1350 Pond Filter with 350-GPH Pump and Bonus Fountain Head Review

Pondmaster PMK1350 Pond Filter with 350-GPH Pump and Bonus Fountain Head
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought one of these pumps and it workded perfectly...so much so that I recommended it to my friends and also bought 2 new pumps for my new pond. HOWEVER, there seems to be a manufacturing defect in the newer pumps because on both of my new pumps...the hose connecting the pump to the filter does not fit tightly...I connected one of the pumps in the morning and went to work and when I came home in the evening I noticed that the pump was very low...I decided to clean the filters...then I realised that the filter was no longer even connected to the pump...so I reconnected it and turned back on the pump but it still did not work any better...I then proceeded to take a better look and thats when I realised that because the hose had disconnected from the pump it was jus sucking water from the bottom of the pond and had sucked in one of my baby Kois and killed it.

I am not discouraging anyone from buying this pump but if you do make sure you put on a hose clamp or something to prevent it from killing your baby fishes.

Lily Floating Solar Pond Fountain Review

Lily Floating Solar Pond Fountain
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I received this as a gift for my new pond and, having quite a bit of difficulty with it, I began looking at reviews on various sites to determine whether I just got a dud and should exchange it (which I had hoped...it is a gift) or if they are all duds and I needed to just give up and return it.

Based upon every place I found this sold that had reviews such as Sam's Wholesale, 2 pond stores, Overstock, and Amazon, everyone is having the same issues as me so this goes back in the box.First of all, the fountain spray is nothing close to the picture.It's a small trickle when it is working.Although my pond is in full Texas sun, it goes on and off and when it's off it looks like something fell in the pond, not a lilly pad or a fountain.I am guessing either the solar panel isn't strong enough or that the water falling on top of it creates the effect of a solar panel on a rainy day...not all that strong or not working at all. Honestly, I don't know why it has such issues.

The good news is that it is nice to have in your pond if you don't have established plants yet since frogs find your pond and it allows them a cool place to hang out.

The bad news is that this, on the product page, says it will clear up dirty water. Nope...the aeration is nice for fish, but you'll need a filter attached to your pump to clean up dirty water.

Bottom line: I'd love to find a solar fountain that works well as I only want a fountain during the day and one that doesn't need to be plugged in is perfect...but this rarely works and doesn't offer even the small spray seen in the ad photo...so this would not be the one. It goes back.

Beckett 7040210 Pond Filter
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
First, the seller, OK Sales did a fine job.They packaged and shipped as you would wish.The pump, however has issues.This came with a nice filter box and generous filter pads.This is ideal for my pond, under the live oak tree.The pump, while listed as 210 gallons, was very small in size and was not a very strong push.It went at one speed then drastically dropped pressure to a dribble.I contacted the Beckett company.They were VERY nice and agreed to ship another pump for a $5 fee.OK, I'll go along with that.I haven't received the new one yet as I just completed the transaction with Beckett.If I had it to do over, I'd go with another Pondmaster brand.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Beckett 7040210 Pond Filter

Product Description:
Add a pump, fountain, and filter to your pond at once using the Beckett Professional Filter and Fountain Kit. This kit contains all you need to begin effectively filtering your pond water. Place the included 210 gph pump inside the filter box, and surround it with the biological media balls. These media are covered in spokes of differing heights, offering several crevices for biological bacteria to establish a colony. The coarse and fine filter mats that cover the pump act as a macrofilter, keeping debris from nearing your pump. The lid of the box has a fine screen as well, to allow water in but prevent large debris from entering the unit. This specially designed kit also features risers and two different fountain heads, so you can choose to add a more dramatic feature to your water garden. Choose either the three tier or flower shaped fountain head, and attach it to the top of the riser. Open the diverter valve to power just the fountain, or alter it to power both a fountain and spitter or other small water feature. Use only one riser for a smaller fountain or bubbler. This unit is best suited for filtering ponds up to 350 gallons, and is designed for use in ponds approximately 18 inches deep. The black color and compact size will remain unobtrusive. Essential for fish and plants. Kit includes three tier fountain nozzle, 1440 diverter valve with flow control, and two extension tubes (for waterfall attachment), pump, biological media balls and 20 foot power cord.

Pondmaster 02215 500 GPH Pond Pump with Filter and Fountain Set Review

Pondmaster 02215 500 GPH Pond Pump with Filter and Fountain Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We have two of these. One is 250 gph and one is 500 gph. They've both been running 24/7 for over a year and we haven't had any trouble with either one of them. The filters are easy to get out and clean and replacement filter media is readily available and inexpensive. Just make sure everything is properly and securely reconnected if you take them apart so baby fish won't get sucked in. We've never had a problem getting the hose reconnected or putting the thing back together.

We haven't noticed that our electric bill in any worse because of these.

Our pond is approximately 300 gals with goldfish and plants. We loosely cover the pond in the winter with greenhouse plastic (using a dome-shaped frame made of PVC sprinkler pipe) so the pumps can continue to run and provide aeration for the fish all year long.

UPDATE: June 18, 2009 - both pumps are still going strong. I am currently buying new sets of filter media as the original filters have finally started to fall apart -- although they are still usable, they are just getting shaggy looking and I'm not sure how much longer they will really be effective. We have continued to run both pumps 24/7/365.
