Which Pond Filter Is Best? Canister, Box or All in One?

[@janejay3555]

Thanks for the simple explanation, making these much easier to decide which filter best suits your circumstances, brilliant! The fish behind are fab!!!

[@DrumFilterRau]

The drum filter is the most effective, given that it does not need to be cleaned. It has automatic smart cleaning, and good filters have emergency systems and a system that can work without electricity for several hours, when electricity is supplied, the filter turns on and continues its work without any problems.

Brilliant video. Really informative. I'm now buying the second one for my new 6ft raised pond to start and see if it suits. Thanks very much 👍

Great video. I have a small koi pond and the large algae is a big problem. Pond recently started foaming and turned brown. I have around 800 gallons of water and a small amount of koi and gold fish and a few algae eating fish. The pond is located in front of the main entrance and next to garage. It’s a bit unsightly now , and your video has provided enough info for me to make a decision as what type of filter I need. Thank you.

Pressure filters are good as you can run the water into the pressure filter then into a shower filter. It's a great setup for koi, the third outlet on the pressure filters are great to. They make cleaning/water change so easy. Thanks for the video 👍😀

Forget the pond filters... that tank in the background is amazing..

Thanks for the explanation, it’s really helped me to understand the difference between the various filters I can use 👍

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

I just bought a larger submersible all in one, I'm going to use it on my old hot tub for one big red tailed catfish LOL. My main concern with the other two types of filters is leaks, if a box or external canister leaks my hot tub would drain and fill my basement.

[@youngstadan4999]

They do the same thing. I've got thr big oase one , and I've got a massive pressurised one, pressurised ones for water falls etc

[@beebertaylor9816]

All in one are the worst. The whole thing has to be pulled out everytime and the sponge fills up quickly.

[@suzannemoran7281]

Totally agree with you. They are really hard work and very difficult to clean. I hate mine.

Thank you for explaining the difference between filters 👍🏽

Your welcome

[@andreaberryman5354]

Thank you very much! I am wondering if I have to have a filter or not. Amphibian habitat pond-no fish.

[@fisharefriends598]

Now that would clean up my 30 gallon!

[@rastinny7089]

Thanks!

[@EverydayAquarist]

No problem!

Looks quite alot like the tank at Blackdown.

Yup for about 2 years

[@mykoiobsession]

The BioSmart is a pump fed filter, NOT a gravity fed filter as per your explanation. The water is fed into the filter via the pump and returns to the pond via gravity. A true gravity fed filter is, as the name implies, fed via gravity through something like a bottom drain or mid water inlet and the water from the filter is then returned to the pond via the pump located after the filter as opposed to before the filter as in the BioSmart filter. Gravity fed filters need to be situated below the pond water level allowing the water in the filter and pond to be at the same height. Takes more space then the filters in the video but tend to work more effectively especially in larger ponds and can be run through either submersible or in-line pumps allowing for multiple variations in pumps and subsequent operating costs.

[@EverydayAquarist]

Thanks, obviously I mean it returns to the pond via gravity not returned by the power from the pump the way a pressure canister is. If you set the filter box below the pond level it won't return water to the pond, if you set the pressure canister below the pond level it will. This is what I am referring to when I say the word gravity

[@earljoshvonfabian5868]

pressurised filter to waterfall biological filter then to the pond....and put prefilter box to pump

My freaking ducks won't stay out of my pond 😂
