VIVOGROW Bio Pressure Pond Filter, with 13W UV-C Light, 1050 GPH Suitable for Koi Ponds up to 500 Gallons or Landscape Pools up to 1050 Gallons

Easy to install and built well. The filter is easy to clean with the filter pads rinsing off well. The UV sanitizer works perfectly and my pond is crystal clear. Previous filters did to seem to handle the job as well as I wanted and this filter has performed above expectations. Prior to installing the unit you could barely see my fish. Now you can see all the way to the bottom of the pond. My pond is about 10 feet by 4 feet across and 30-36" deep depending on where you measure. This size filter handles the needs very well. I noticed a difference in the first 24 hours but after 3 days of running I was very impressed. I have had this unit for 2 summers now and it is working perfectly. I clean the filter pads every two weeks and my pond is perfectly clear. Easy to use, easy to install and great performance. Highly recommend.

It works great I think I need more filters for inside and a light inside

I have 3 of these filters for my koi pond. They have done wonders for the water quality. One of the newest filters had an issue. The head clamp plastic split and the filter began to leak. I contacted the seller, they promptly addressed he issue and I have a replacement. These filters are easy to install and maintain. I have one that’s 4 years old that I replaced he sponge filters and UV bulb in and even that was easy!

Just like any fish owner, I was hooking my new system up. When I turned on my pump it was leaking like crazy from the top. That’s where I read the sticker about the 20ft. So I looked to see what my pump was rated for. Said max was 19ft. Probably in the red zone but still under. This product is terrible. Obviously doesn’t seal like it should and overall isn’t made very well. This is my second filter from this company. First one worked good until a clip broke and they couldn’t replace a clip. So I bought the size bigger, and it SUCKS! Like seriously, you didn’t think of making it to SEAL where WATER is going. Yes Everytbing is on nice and tight. It just doesn’t seal like it should.

This is the second version/band of one of these types of filters. In neither one did the cleanout mechanism do anything worth while. If you want to clean it you need to take it apart and clean it. That aside it will definitely clear up a small pond. Keeps my pond water clear. It will not do anything for helping with algae build up on the sides or bottom of the pond but the water itself will be clear.

I've had to manually clean my Koi pond and/or filter every month or two to keep floating algae at bay in my southeastern outdoor pond. It's a lot of work. I was skeptical when I bought this filter that the self cleaning was meaningful in any way, but am glad it actually works as advertised. With just a quick switch and pumping some water in a different direction to clean the filter, this is FAR EASIER than anything else I've tried at keeping the pond clear. Thank you engineers for figuring out such a simple solution! Love the product.

This turned out to be a wonderful filter for our fish pool. We have been using just a simple box filter ever since we bought this house over 12 years ago that was in place from the previous owners. Once my husband and I saw this filtration system we wanted to give it a shot because we were hoping it would keep our fish pool a lot cleaner. It definitely has! It has been a game changer for us!

UPDATE. I had a fitting crack 5 months after I purchased it. Hot Florida sun. I made communication with the seller, sent them pictures and I had a brand new one in several days. No charge. No return. The way businesses should operate. Thank you What a great inexpensive filtration system. To all of the people that left negative reviews because of leaks. Really? Mine leaked when I first plugged it in and I thought oh my gosh what am I going to do now? So it came to me. Tighten it up. Guess what? And to my surprise it stopped leaking . Imagine that. I was using something similar that was home made. This is a really nice set up. I have a 400 gallon Koi pond and am using a 1600 gph pump with a 3 ft waterfall and using a turtle that flows water out of his mouth and a center riser. I am using the one inch tubing. Hope this helps

Does the job is very quiet running the water through it. Never have used the crank to clean out the filter will just shut down the pump and take it apart and clean it easy to do and does the job well. Have had it two years now and no complaints . It is durable and keeps the pond clean.

Easy to setup. Works perfectly! My fishpond was clear in a couple of days. I have cleaned the filter once and it was much better than to clean any of the traditional submersible filters. The best investment of the year! The only thing, there is no information in the manual what type of the UV bulb I have to use for the replacement. It looks like bulb should be replaced once per year.

Honestly I am surprised... there is some algae at the bottom of the pond but still the water is crystalline. A bit of work needs to be done when it comes to maintenance but it seems to work great.

Two seasons in, no issues and no complaints.

Very disappointed in the quality of this product at first, my UV light went out within two months and after cleaning the filter three times and cleaning all the seals and everything. I already need new seals garbage filter do not recommend.
