Being able to see the fish is high on their lists, but ensuring the ongoing viability and life is also a major concern. This is why most ponds you will see have a filtration system designed around the needs of the life inside. Part of this vital system is a good filter and a strong and effective UVC. When these work in harmony with a pump, the pond will reap the benefits and thrive for years to come. The Hozelock EcoPower Plus is a high performance combined filter and UVC unit that encompasses a multi stage filtration cycle to clear the pond water and produce crystal clear and healthy results. The Ecopower is designed to remove unwanted solids in the water and convert the dissolved organic and chemical waste into harmless compounds. The Ecopower filtration cycle starts from the moment the water enters the top mounted hosetail. The water passes through the UVC that is positioned in the top of the filter box. Max Pond Size: 20000 Litres Max Pond Size Koi: 10000 Litres Max Flow Rate: 5000 LPH UVC 16 Watt Hose Diameter: 25-40mm Dimensions: L:270 x W:520 x H:410mm.
The Hozelock Ecopower 10000 is designed for pond keepers aiming for a healthy and clear water environment for their fish. Its key benefit is a high-performance, multi-stage filtration system combined with a UV clarifier to remove solids and organic waste, resulting in crystal clear and healthy pond water. A potential caveat is its maximum flow rate, which should be matched to your pond's specific turnover needs.

FAQs
What is the maximum pond size for the Hozelock Ecopower 10000?
The filter is suitable for ponds up to 20,000 liters. For ponds housing Koi, the recommended maximum size is 10,000 liters due to their higher waste production.
How often should the UVC bulb be replaced?
The 16-watt UVC bulb should be replaced annually, typically before the start of the pond season, to ensure optimal performance in controlling green water.
Can I use any pond pump with this filter?
This filter is designed to work optimally with a pond pump that has a maximum flow rate of 5000 LPH. Ensure your pump's flow rate does not exceed this for best results.
How do I clean the filter media?
Filter media should be cleaned regularly. It is best to rinse the sponges in pond water (not tap water, to preserve beneficial bacteria) during a partial water change. Replace media when it becomes too degraded to clean effectively.
Does this unit include a pump?
No, the Hozelock Ecopower 10000 is a combined filter and UVC unit. A separate pond pump is required to push water through the system.
What is the warranty period for this product?
Please refer to the product packaging or Hozelock's official website for the most current warranty information.
Troubleshooting
Pond water remains cloudy or green.
Check if the UVC bulb is functioning and within its replacement period. Ensure the filter media is clean and not blocked. Verify the pump flow rate is adequate and correctly matched to the filter's capacity.
Low water flow from filter outlet.
Inspect the pump intake and filter inlet for blockages. Clean or replace clogged filter media. Check for kinks in the outlet hose.
UVC light not illuminating.
Ensure the UVC ballast is properly connected and the unit is receiving power. Check the UVC bulb for damage and replace if necessary. Confirm water is flowing through the UVC chamber, as some models have safety features that prevent activation without flow.
Filter unit making unusual noises.
Check for any debris caught in the pump or filter housing. Ensure the unit is stable and vibrations are not excessive.
