I have had the same one on my 100 gallon fish pond for over ten years. I have had to replace the bulb twice and the pump three times, but only now the box has finally rotted out and I have to replace it. I have tried other brands, but they didn't work as good the fish mate. Now I won't use anything else.
Our first one lasted over 5 yrs before the weather and water deteriorated the plastic. The second one hasn't kept the Algiers down not sure what to do. I'm going to change bulb even though it still works.
So I decided to do a 125gal duck pond. After alot of research i decided to go with this filter. It does great and was very easy to set up. Only nitpicking con is it has TWO outlets which kinda makes it harder to hide for a clean look
Bought as a replacement. Even though it was used I was very pleased. Looked great& worked well. Ive had it for several weeks now, pond is crystal clear
Great have had it for 3 years and its still running.
First, it comes only with a single layer of coarse mechanical filtering media - most have fine and coarse or sometimes even three different kinds of filter media. The replacement filter media is inexplicably pricey. Th UV lamp is a very flimsy design - I can't imagine it will last long and the case itself is similarly dodgy.On the other hand, for a small pond, it's the way to go and there are no other comparable options, really, if you want a gravity feed filter. It could be better built and a bit more sophisticated given that it is supposed to perform a rather complex biological, gravity fed filtration function.
So. Far have not used it as I didn't realise that the electric was for American settings not . It will need a lower power transformer than we have.
