Water can be fed directly from your pond pump through to the filter container and subsequently the outlet, continuously under pressure. The water outlet can be located higher than the actual filter body, making it easier to disguise around the pond - particularly useful if incorporating a waterfall! Supplied with a fantastic new rotating cleaning handle on the head, maintaining the Pressurised Filter is now even easier! The unit will inform you when it is in need of a detailed clean using a small float, which pops-out of the head of the unit when required. By simply turning the handle you can rinse clean the interior sponge, reducing the need to dis-assemble! Once rinsed, a separate outlet can be opened to discharge any dirty water until it runs clean and basic maintenance is complete. Each unit is supplied with a built-in UV Light, which effectively prevents growth of algae and eliminates harmful micro-organisms and parasites which may cause fish diseases. Filtration Water passes through the PFC-25000 in the following order 1) Pond water flows into the PFC-25000 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 36w UV steriliser capable of reducing harmful bacteria and algae 5) Clean, clear and healthy water exits your PFC-25000 and returns to your pond.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup

Connections: Connect the filter to your pond pump using appropriate tubing. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent leaks.
Outlet: Position the outlet to return the filtered water to the pond, e.g., via a waterfall.
Power: Plug in the filter and UV clarifier to a suitable power source.
Compatibility
Pumps: Compatible with pond pumps that can provide sufficient flow for your pond size. The filter is designed for a maximum pond size of 25,000L. Ensure your pump's flow rate matches or exceeds the filter's requirements.
Tubing: Use the correct size of tubing to connect the pump to the filter and the filter to the pond return.
Care
Cleaning: Use the rotating handle to rinse the filter sponges regularly, typically every few weeks or when the cleaning indicator pops out. Open the separate outlet to discharge the dirty water.
UV Bulb Replacement: Replace the UV bulb every 6-12 months, or as recommended, to maintain its effectiveness. The UV light loses its effectiveness over time.
Foam Replacement: Replace filter foams when they become worn or damaged. The foams are critical to remove solid waste from the water.
Winterizing: In colder climates, protect the filter from freezing during winter. This might involve removing it from the pond or insulating it.
