AllPondSolutions range of automatic PFC pressurised pond filters with built-in UV clarifiers are designed to be efficient self-cleaning units with the simple turn of a dial. Just like the manual PFC models, auto PFC filters are kept continually pressurised by your pond pump which will help you to maintain the best water quality for healthy pond fishkeeping.

Pond filter cleaning with the auto PFC is easier than ever due to the motorised sponge cleaning system. Just turn the dial so that the blue arrow is pointing in the direction of the dirty water outlet;

listen for the beep indicating the start of the cleaning process and at the sound of the second beep your PFC pond filter unit and sponges will be clean. Not only will this reduce the need for any manual labour but there is no need to disassemble any part of the unit except when replacing foams or performing a full system clean.

Each automatic cleaning PFC pond filter is equipped with a built-in UV light, which helps prevent algae growth and eliminates micro-organisms in the pond water which can lead to fish diseases.

Filtration
Water passes through the PFC-8000 in the following order:
1.) Pond water flows into the PFC-8000 via your pond pump
2.) Initial filtration begins by removing large particles through a mixture of coarse and fine filter foams (mechanical filtration)
3.) Then the water passes across bio balls that harbour good bacteria across large surface area (biological filtration)
4.) Lastly, the exiting water is exposed to a 11w UV steriliser capable of reducing harmful bacteria and algae
5.) Clean, clear and healthy water exits your PFC-8000 and returns to your pond.

    The kit includes the AllPondSolutions AquaECO-4500 pond pump, which has a maximum flow rate of 4500L/h, a wattage of 30w, a maximum head of 4m and a 10m power cable. Its inlet/outlet hosetail connector fits 25/32/38mm hose.

    How does the automatic cleaning system work?

    The motorised sponge cleaning system is activated by simply turning the dial so the blue arrow points towards the dirty water outlet; a beep signals the start and a second beep signals the end of the clean. There is no need to disassemble the unit except when replacing foams or performing a full system clean.

    What filter media is supplied?

    Each unit is supplied with 4 small filter foams (2 fine yellow and 2 coarse blue) plus loose bio-balls (no cage). It also comes complete with inlet and outlet hose adapters, and the kit includes 5m of 25mm pond hose with 3 jubilee clips.

    Does this filter have UV and how often should the bulb be replaced?

    Is it supplied with a UK plug and is there a warranty?

    In compliance with UK electrical regulations it is supplied without a fitted UK plug, so a suitable plug or outdoor switch box must be purchased separately. The filter comes with a free 24 month warranty.
