What is the secret of a clear & Healthy Garden Pond

The three key elements of a pond management system are as follows: -

1. Filter Pump
Filter pumps perform a dual role within your pond. Firstly, they circulate water containing waste to the filter, secondly, they aerate the water providing beneficial oxygen and removing harmful gases. Hozelock Cyprio filter pumps will pass solid material up to 10mm to the filter, they are guaranteed for up to three years. We have two types of filter pumps:

  • Titan - Efficient filter pump for garden ponds up to 30000 litres (6000 gallons).
  • Prima -Powerful filter pump for ponds up to 32000 litres (7000 gallons).

For more information please visit our pumps section.

2. Pond Filters
Pond filters remove solid material including fish waste and algae and use friendly bacteria to remove harmful dissolved pollutants.

Our highly effective filters use various combinations of brushes, foam, and plastic biomedia to achieve this. We have filters for ponds up to 27000 litres (6000 gallons). All our filters draw on our 15 years of experience with fish; they are designed to provide clean clear healthy water with unparalleled ease of use. Many unique and innovative features combine to give you maximum performance and minimum maintenance.

3. Ultra Violet Clarifier (UVC)
Free-floating single celled algae causes green water in ponds. This algae is too small to catch even with an effective pond filter. Our UVC's expose the algae particles to just enough UV light so that they clump together (flocculate). These larger particles can then be easily filtered out as they pass through the pond filter.

A key difference between our UV units and others is that ours are clarifiers, not sterilisers. If the water were sterilised, then the algae would be killed, and although dead it would not be any bigger and so just as hard to catch with a filter.

The way in which we achieve this is by combining our experience of pond filtration with the latest UV technology from the lamps that are in the product.

Ultra Violet Clarifier - For ponds up to 27000 litres (6000 gallons) (USA 4000 gallons max).
