Pressurised pond filters - any good?
I'm having to clean my current uv/filter (a Hozelock model) every few
days. I enquired at a local supplier about a larger replacement and was steered towards a Oase Filtoclear pressurised model. I thought I read somewhere these were not up to much but cannot find the reference now, anyone have one of these or any views on pressurised filters in general? tnx John W |

My Cyprio Bioforce 500 plugs almost everyday during high sludge periods (startup). There just isn't enough surface area for the foam. I think it would have to be hugely oversized to be much good. |

Pressurised pond filters - any good?
I used 4500 model (UK) for nearly three years. It certainly worked, i.e.
cleared the pond of debris and algae, but in mid summer needed cleaning every few days, which drove me up the wall. I now have an Oase 15000, which I bought for the same price as the next smaller model, so I got a fantastic bargain. I am very satisfied with it. It's been going a couple of months this year so far and I haven't had to dismantle anything yet. in fact I've only cleaned the sponges twice by using the handle mechanism, which gets rid of lots of muck. The flowrate through the filter doesn't seem to vary much at all (i.e. either whethr the sponges are clean or dirty), and sonce my pond is only about 1200 gals max, the filter could be partially blocked yet still allow sufficient circulation for the pond. In short, if you get the right model for teh pond you won't regret it! Q "Bill Stock" wrote in message ... wrote in message ...

Pressurised pond filters - any good?
How grateful I am to be working with veggie filter ponds instead of smaller
filters. Drain them once a year (or even 2 years) and forget the clog stuff. Could you manage a vegie filter so the plant roots can strain the muck instead of you?
