What Is the Best Type of Pond Filter? A Guide by AllPondSolutions

At AllPondSolutions, we know that choosing the best pond filter is essential for keeping your garden pond clean, clear, and healthy. With a variety of pond filtration systems available, it’s important to understand which type suits your pond’s size, fish stock, and maintenance needs.

There are three main types of pond filter systems:

Gravity-fed filters, Pressurised filters, and All-in-one pond filters.

Gravity-fed pond filters are ideal for larger garden ponds and koi ponds. These systems sit above water level and rely on gravity to move pond water through multiple filtration stages. They offer excellent mechanical and biological filtration but typically require more space and planning.

Pressurised pond filters are compact, enclosed units that can be positioned flexibly around your pond—even below the waterline. These filters provide efficient filtration with the added benefit of a built-in UV Steriliser to tackle green water. They’re ideal for ponds with waterfalls or raised outlets due to their ability to pump water uphill.

For small to medium-sized garden ponds, we highly recommend our AllPondSolutions all-in-one pond filter units. These combine a pond pump, mechanical and biological filtration, and a UV steriliser in one easy-to-install unit. Perfect for hassle-free pond maintenance, they offer a space-saving, reliable solution that delivers clear water all year round.
