We are particularily fond of the ProEco pressurized filters because of their excellent biological and mechanical filtration at an affordable price. While the Aqua UV filters are technically our top choice, they come at a higher cost that might not fit into everyone's budget for a filter.

These ProEco filters are pressurized, making installation a breeze and allowing for burial if needed to keep them out of view. With pressurized filters, the placement elevation becomes less of a concern since the water entering and leaving the filter is under pressure. This means the filter can be situated below the pond level and isn't dependent on gravity to function or return water to the pond.

The filter incorporates both fine and coarse filter foam media, promoting efficient growth of beneficial bacteria. Cleaning is also a simple process: just turn the Filter Control switch to clean mode and gradually pull the cleaning handle to compress the filter pads, repeating 4-5 times.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size pump do I need?

We've created a guide on selecting the appropriate pond water pump. Please refer to it in order to determine the right pump size for your pond. In general, aiming to circulate the entire pond volume every hour, or at least every two hours, is recommended. For instance, if your pond holds 2000 gallons, opt for a pump capable of 2000 gallons per hour (gph). Ensure the chosen pump's flow rate is below the maximum flow specified in the filter's specifications above.

Will this filter eliminate green water?

In short, yes, this filter will certainly aid in addressing the issue of green water. This filter includes a UV light in the lid, which is one of the most effective methods for controlling green pond water. For more information on green pond water and how to prevent it, please consult our page dedicated to the topic.

Will this filter eliminate string algae?

String algae is a common concern, even in healthy ponds. While this filter will undoubtedly contribute to the overall health of your pond's ecosystem, it won't completely eradicate string algae. Please review our page on string algae to explore potential remedies.

How long does it take for biological filtration to start working?

Building a thriving colony of beneficial bacteria essential for efficient biological filtration takes time. Typically, it takes several weeks (between 3 and 6) for biological filtration to become fully active. Once the bacteria are established and operational, you should start experiencing the benefits relatively quickly.
