Hozelock Easyclear 3000

Product Information

Some pond filters come with a built-in pond clarifier. This is a UV light that kills the green algae in the water. The algae then drop down to the bottom of the pond and remain in the water and are caught by the filters as waste the next time through the filtration system. The AllPondSolutions Pressurised Koi Fish Pond Filter with UV Steriliser is for garden ponds with water volumes up to 5,000L and it’s a good alternative to the AllPondSolutions Pressurised Koi Fish Pond Filter with UV Steriliser. Don’t go away if that’s not the size of your pond because this is just one in a whole range of sizes. This model is so available for ponds up to 3,000L; ponds up to 6,000L; and ponds up to 8,000L. Two gauges are in the lid of the filter box. One tells you the temperature with the box and the other is an indicator that the filters are dirty and need cleaning or changing so this is a nice feature that not all filters have. There’s also a viewing window so you can see that the UVC light is working properly. As the pump and filter are all contained in one unit it means that there will be no need for pipes coming out of the water unless you want to feed a waterfall instead of using your fountain-head which is very simple to set up.

The UV steriliser light is 11W of power so more powerful than the other models in this review which are 9W. This serves to kill the green algae in the water which clumps together and sometimes drops down to the bottom of the pond. The rest head to the mechanical and biological filters. The high performance pump is super efficient and has designed to last for years to come. It can be used to create a decorative fountain or waterfall in the pond. A pond filter box is a necessity no matter how small or large your garden pond is. Sunlight encourages green algae to grow, fish always produce waste, and who knows what garden matter and debris will find its way into the pond. Keeping your pond water clear and sparkling enhances your enjoyment of the pond and creates an enticing habitat for all manner of wildlife. The filter box has both mechanical and biological filters in it. The mechanical filters are Japanese matting and has both coarse and fine grade filters, while the biological filter is bio balls. It is all pretty standard stuff but good enough to get your water filtered and clean. As the dirty water flows into the filtration system, it first encounters the coarse pads that take out the bigger sediments and stuff, and then the fine pads that take out the smaller bits.

The sizes are based on ponds without any fish, so please bare this in mind when selecting a pump/filtration system that is right for you. Please take a look at the chart for a better idea of which size EasyClear is right for your pond. The Easyclear 3000 pond filter uses foam filters (coarse and fine) as its mechanical filtration to remove pieces of debris and waste. The Kaldness K2 biomedia is used as the place where good bacteria are encouraged to grow to break down organic pond waste. If you already have a pond filtration system set up, you can buy the AllPondSolutions Small Fish Pond Filter Box with just the filter box here. Pros

The Blagdon 9W 12000L Minipond 6-Stage Box Filter uses mechanical, biological, and chemical filters to clean and polish the water flowing through it. I like that the three sizes of hose fittings mean that it fits into most standard pond filtration systems so fitting yours be fairly straightforward. You know when it’s time to clean the filters as there’s a float mechanism that raises up when the filters are dirty. And the cleaning task is easy as you just turn a handle on the top of the box. This lets water in to rinse the sponges inside; you don’t have to open the box to do the cleaning. However, some online reviewers report that this cleaning operation has been hit or miss for them. The dirty water from this process exits the filter via a separate outlet to the clean water. Pros Each pond pump and filter combination boasts a powerful integrated pump that pumps water around your pond increasing oxygen levels. A UV bulb eradicates problem algae and clumps it together ready for removal, removing problem green water. Once the water is through the first foam, depending on the model you have bought (In the below picture I am showing the EasyClear 6000) there will be stones. The primary purpose of these is to act as a buoyancy aid for the unit, but they will also add surface area in which bacteria will cultivate. As well as this, the stones have the added benefit of trapping any solids. So it really is up to you if you want to rinse them out while cleaning the system. Everything is placed in the water so that there is no need for a filter system outside the pond which can be difficult to disguise.

Why Buy From Us

The EasyClear 6000, 7500 and 9000 have a maximum flow rate of 1700lph and 2850lph. Suitable for ponds between 6000-9000 litres in size or fish ponds between 3000-4000 litres in size, they can run a fountain and waterfall simultaneously. In addition, the larger 6000, 7500 and 9000 models boast another feature. As well as the fountainhead, these units have a waterfall/watercourse outlet (if using both waterfall and fountain outlets, the flow will be split). The attractive water feature oxygenates your pond water as it passes through the system, causing suspended algae particles which cause green water to clump together so that the foam filter can trap them. This pond filter unit is compact and discrete and won’t stand out if you situate it on the pond floor. If you’re just setting up a pond filtration system in a small pond, especially as a beginner, the AllPondSolutions Small Fish Pond Filter Box Kit gives you everything you need to start out. There’s a pump, a filter box and a UV steriliser. All three of these components together keep your water clean. And even the hoses are included.

This filter comes without a pump. And a downside, though not a deal breaker, is that it also comes without hoses. This is fine as you can choose your own pump or you might already have one anyway. Just make sure it’s the right size pump. The key to successful biological filtering is to allow the beneficial bacteria to grow upon the bio-balls or K2 media that’s in your filter. You need as many of these good bacteria as possible so look for filters that have a large surface area of biological filter media for the bacteria to grow on. As a pressurised pond filter, this AllPond Solutions model can handle more water than more conventional gravity-fed filters. It sits on the side of your pond where the filters work alongside the UV steriliser/clarifier to clean your pond water. The pump has a 2,300L flow rate and you know that it works perfectly with the other two pond cleaning appliances. The UV clarifier is a must and this one comes with a 9W bulb. All three pond cleaning units are designed for small ponds, that’s those up to 6,000L with no fish but the unit will be suitable for smaller ponds with fish. ( See the Buyer’s Guide for an explanation of how this volume changes with fish or sun).
