This lovely fish pond in Harpenden, Hertfordshire needed a filtration upgrade. Cleaning out your pump every few days as it keeps getting blocked up sound familiar? This customers pond had a small pond pump designed as a water feature pump which couldn’t handle solids and therefore blocked easily. The pond had a separate Ultra Violet Clarifier (UVC) and gravity filter box which also needed replacing.

Maltby Aquatics installed an Oase Filtoclear 6000 set, this compact unit consists of a pressure filter with UVC included and a powerful professional 6000/ l Aquaxmax eco pump which would be able to run the existing waterfall with ease. We also installed a small valve to allow for the water-flow to the waterfall to be regulated easily. The Filtration unit was buried (other than the head) in the ground to keep it and the pipework out of site all neat and tidy.

Installing this filtration kit has made looking after the pond so much easier. The pump will need cleaning only during the summer period and the filter can be cleaned without getting your hands dirty! using the pump cleaning device installed in the kit. Does your pond pump keep playing up? Maybe an upgrade is needed, contact Maltby Aquatics today for a free visit.
