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

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.

Pressurized Pond Filter, 3000 UV Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It took me about 6 months to actually get around to installing this in our pond, mostly because I was redoing the waterfall but I'm also quite lazy.

Previously I had tried using a 200 gallon gravity filter, media filtration, and a skimmer/pump combo. In all cases there was little improvement on algae blossoms, mosquito larvae, and water quality. After talking to a local shop, I sought out this specific filter because they had a lot of success with a showcase koi pond located behind the store.

After reading the relatively detailed instructions and following the advice of pond enthusiasts, installation took about 4 hours due to the rocky soil (it doesn't have to be in the soil but can sit flush). Since filtration efforts had been miserable failures prior to this, my hopes were high but my expectations sat far lower, so I plugged it in and went about my business.

Two weeks to the day, my pond is clear enough to make out fine details along the bottom; including areas where green frogs have burrowed into the muck. Not only is the pond clear enough to make out fine details, I finally discovered where a slow leak was coming from (liner is sinking). As a final reward, of sorts anyway, there was also a revelation in finding two long forgotten lawn ornaments, a bunch of toys tossed in long ago by my daughter or her friends, and the skeletal remains of a cat.

I will have to wait until spring and summer to see how well the UV works on controlling algae at peak levels of sunshine and mosquito larvae but with the rapid development of clarity I am feeling confident that we'll be able to maintain good water quality. Highly recommend this filter!

Aquascape - 1/2" Hudson Automatic Water Garden Fill Valve with Slide Plate Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Works good, but I put a pressure regulator in line before it,set at 25 psi, after reading reviews of failures.My line water line pressure is about 80psi.
Another minor problem is with the mounting bracket. It is somewhat difficult to get at and tighten the height set screw.

Laguna Max-Flo 1500 Electronic Waterfall & Filter Pump - Laguna PT344 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had a previous Laguna pump which I purchased from a pond store several years ago.It was not actually the one which matched my Laguna Pressure-Pro ofilter; instead, it was the closest match from ones they have in stock.When the old pump failed, I checked the manual and found the recommended pump.It was available here at Amazon and fits my existing Click-Fit couplings, allowing me to install it without having to disassemble any of the tubing for my pond and waterfall.It works like a charm, actually better than my old pump did.

If you are shopping for this on the Internet without advice from a pond expert, be sure to match the pump size and output with your filter.You must also take into account the height of your waterfall, if any, and the distance that your water will be flowing.

Danner 02211 PM1000 12-Inch by 12-Inch Mechanical Pond Filter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)A wonderfull filter that is so easy to maintain. Really keeps the water clear. Has a nice space in the bottom of the filter to put the bio balls for that added biological filter. So easy to remove, replace the pads and be up and running again. A real cost saver because the pads can be rinsed and used again. You should get an extra set, it makes it easy for when you change the pads.

Pondmaster 02940 40-Watt Ultra Violet Light Pond Water Clarifier Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have medium sized decorative pond that gets harsh western sun from about noon until sunset.Ironically, the algae got worse in winter.Visibility in the pond was down to about 1 inch.It was positively disgusting and it stank.

2 week after putting the Pondmaster UV filter into the pond, the water was clear as crystal.

However, as the manufacturer indicates, "filter" isn't the proper terminology.It's a sterilizer.It doesn't eliminate the need for a normal bio filter.This kills the algae and other parasites so the bio filter can remove them from the water.If you have a particularly green pond (as I did) clear the filter pads weekly until you've regained control over the algae.

Again, note that the UV system addresses free algae - not the string algae that grows on the sides.It's basic logic - if the algae is stuck to the side, then it can't pass through the steriliser to be killed.

Change your filter pads regularly until you've gotten past the 2-3 week period when you're waiting for the pea soup to vanish.All that dead algae needs to be removed.Make sure you get any old leaves out too - that will speed things up.

If you don't see results, make sure you have the right wattage, and also adjust the pump to ensure the water isn't moving to fast.Algae cells need about 1-2 full seconds exposure to the lamp to break the cell membrane and kill them.

Bottom line - it does PRECISELY what it says.

Product Description:
Submersible 40 watt Ultraviolet (UV) Light Pond Water Clarifier for use with pumps up to 3000 GPH, in ponds up to 6000 gallons. Kills suspended algae with UV light. Water can be pumped through the UV light and then into a biological filter (sold separately) where debris and dead algae can be trapped and decomposed.When installed correctly, UV lights are very effective at eliminating green water pond problems. This UV light has a 3/4" barbed intake and outlet for flexible tubing and is equipped with an 18 ft power cord. The soft, blue halo light rings show that the unit is working. The vortex flow design increases the exposure time of the water with the ultraviolet light and the slim diameter brings more of the water closer to the intense UV rays, making the process more efficient.These clarifiers can be installed submersed in the pond, or outside the pond.UL listed.

Pondmaster PMK190 190gph Pump and Filter with Bonus Fountain Head Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Pondmaster PMK190 190gph Pump and Filter with Bonus Fountain Head is exactly what I needed to clear that funky split-pea soup (algae-ridden) water in my Shubunkin, Comet and Koi ponds!Simple to use...,Has a very sturdy handle (convenient for lifting the unit out of the pond for cleaning).Takes about 2 minutes to hose off the 3 (very thick) filters and put the unit back in pond. The 190 gallons per hour "pump-suck" is quite powerful and quiet.My ponds were crystal clear in two days.I don't use the optional fountain head because I have spitters and waterfalls, already -- not using it creates a very nice rippling agitation effect on the surface of the pond.Your neighbors will be in total awe. :) My fish are quite happy now that they can actually see me coming to feed them -- and see their food pellets floating on the top of the water.Perfect! --Katharena Eiermann, 2007, the Realm of Existentialism -- Presidential Hopeful
