FAQs
What kind of fish can I keep in this pond?
Given its 140-liter capacity, this pond is best suited for a small number of very small fish, such as White Cloud Mountain Minnows or other cold-water species that don't require large volumes of water. Avoid larger or highly active fish.
Is the UV clarifier included?
No, the UV clarifier is NOT included with the Blagdon Inpond 5-in-1 2000 water pump. It is available separately and recommended for maintaining clear water, especially in sunny locations.
How often do I need to clean the pump filter?
Filter cleaning frequency depends on the pond's inhabitants and debris load. Generally, checking and cleaning the filter sponges weekly or bi-weekly is a good practice to ensure optimal filtration and water flow.
Can I place this pond indoors?
While designed for outdoor use, it can technically be placed indoors if a suitable, level location is available and precautions are taken against splashes and electrical safety near water. However, it is primarily intended for gardens and patios.
What are the assembled dimensions?
The assembled dimensions are approximately 460mm (height) x 600mm (width) x 600mm (length). This compact size is ideal for corners.
Does it come with a warranty?
Yes, the Blagdon Affinity View Corner Pool comes with a 3-year manufacturer's guarantee, providing assurance of its quality.
Troubleshooting
Water is cloudy
Check the pump's filter sponges for blockage and clean them. Consider adding a separate UV clarifier for persistent cloudiness, especially if algae is the cause.
Waterfall flow is weak
Ensure the pump intake is clear of debris. Check for kinks in the tubing to the waterfall. The pump's impeller might need cleaning.
Pond is leaking
Carefully inspect the fibre reinforced liner and all connections for punctures or improper sealing. Ensure the pond is on a perfectly level surface.
Pump is not working
Verify the power supply is connected and the outlet is functional. Check the pump's impeller for obstructions. If issues persist, refer to the pump's specific troubleshooting guide.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Choose a Level Location: Select a firm, level corner in your garden or patio. Ensure it's near an electrical outlet for the pump.
Assemble the Pond: Follow the manufacturer's instructions to connect the panels and secure the fibre reinforced liner. This typically involves snapping components together and fitting the liner snugly.
Install the Pump: Place the Blagdon Inpond 5-in-1 2000 pump inside the pond, ensuring it's submerged. Connect the included waterfall attachment.
Fill with Water: Slowly fill the pond with water, ensuring no leaks.
Add Water Treatments: Use appropriate pond treatments to dechlorinate water and establish a healthy environment before adding plants or fish.
Power On: Plug in the pump and check that the waterfall and filtration are working correctly.
Compatibility
This pond is suitable for small outdoor spaces.
It's compatible with small aquatic plants and a limited number of small fish (e.g., minnows, sticklebacks).
The included pump is designed for this pond's volume. A UV clarifier (available separately) is recommended for optimal water clarity.
Care
Regular Cleaning: Periodically clean the shatterproof viewing windows with a soft cloth to remove algae and maintain visibility.
Pump Maintenance: Clean the pump's filter sponges regularly (e.g., weekly or bi-weekly depending on debris) to ensure efficient filtration. Refer to the pump's specific manual for detailed maintenance.
Water Quality: Test water parameters regularly and perform partial water changes as needed.
Winterization: In freezing climates, either bring the pond indoors or use a pond heater/de-icer to prevent ice damage to the pump and liner.
Algae Control: If algae becomes an issue, consider adding a UV clarifier or appropriate anti-algae treatments.
