Water passes through the filter foams, then BioLava biological media (material that gives beneficial bacteria a surface to live on), then past a 13 W UV-C lamp (germicidal ultraviolet light) that helps control the free-floating algae that turn pond water green.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEasy-clean backwash system\u003c\/strong\u003e: set the mode selector and work the cleaning handles, which drive internal blades that clean the foams; the dirty water drains out through the drain outlet without opening the canister.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCleaning indicator\u003c\/strong\u003e that shows when routine maintenance is due.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClick-Fit hose connections\u003c\/strong\u003e for 19, 25 and 32 mm hose.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePond rating: up to 4,500 litres\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUV-C lamp: 13 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCanister: 10 litres, 28.3 cm diameter x 36 cm high\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended pump: Fluval Max-Flo 2400\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFluval item PT8350\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSuitable for, and not suitable for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuitable for freshwater garden and fish ponds up to 4,500 litres, fed by a pump of around 2,400 litres per hour such as the Fluval Max-Flo 2400. Treat the pond rating as a maximum: heavily stocked ponds, heavy feeding and ponds in strong direct sun do better with a larger filter.
