Hozelock Easyclear 3000

Product Information

Mechanical, biological and UV clarifiers are the main types of filtration media available on the market. Here’s what they all are. Mechanical filters You know when it’s time to clean the filters as there’s a float mechanism that raises up when the filters are dirty. And the cleaning task is easy as you just turn a handle on the top of the box. This lets water in to rinse the sponges inside; you don’t have to open the box to do the cleaning. However, some online reviewers report that this cleaning operation has been hit or miss for them. The dirty water from this process exits the filter via a separate outlet to the clean water. Pros

And speaking of cleaning, you can do this automatically which is what I like about a lot of these canister filters. That’s the Powerclenz part of this Fish Mate filter’s name. Just turn a knob on the top of the filter canister from Run to Clean and it runs water through the foam filters to clean them. I especially like that there’s a separate outlet pipe for the sludge generated by this action so that you don’t have to disconnect the water outlet pipe to empty the dirty water. Personally, I would direct this onto flowerbeds or collect it if you have raised beds as it’s great for the soil. Pros One thing that sets this Blagdon series of filters apart is that each model in the range had six stages of filtration. The UV clarifier light (as shown in the picture below) kills green algae, the spray bar oxygenates the water, graded foam traps debris and waste, the Pro bio media creates healthy water, the polymer wool polishes the water andlastly, the chemical foam reduces chemical pollutants. All six filters work one after the other in sequence to produce the cleanest water at the outlet.

Once the water is through the first foam, depending on the model you have bought (In the below picture I am showing the EasyClear 6000) there will be stones. The primary purpose of these is to act as a buoyancy aid for the unit, but they will also add surface area in which bacteria will cultivate. As well as this, the stones have the added benefit of trapping any solids. So it really is up to you if you want to rinse them out while cleaning the system. The EasyClear 3000 is a fully integrated "all-in-One" pond filtration unit which combines a pump, filter and UVC and can be completely hidden in the pond. The EasyClear 3000 provides clear and healthy water, easy installation and an attractive fountain or waterfall and is supplied with 10m of mains cable and a 3 year guarantee. This filter comes without a pump. And a downside, though not a deal breaker, is that it also comes without hoses. This is fine as you can choose your own pump or you might already have one anyway. Just make sure it’s the right size pump.

Excluding postcodes below inScottish Highlands and islands, Isle of Man, Channel Islands and Isle of Scilly: (Currently we do not deliver to Northern Ireland) In the filter you will have filter foam, Kaldnes K1 filter media and gravel ballast too which will all work together to break down waste leading to a clean pond, the UV unit which is built in will eradicate green water suspended algae meaning you’ve got a clear pond throughout the year. The Easyclear 3000 pond filter uses foam filters (coarse and fine) as its mechanical filtration to remove pieces of debris and waste. The Kaldness K2 biomedia is used as the place where good bacteria are encouraged to grow to break down organic pond waste.

If you decline my application, what is the reason?As the pump and filter are all contained in one unit it means that there will be no need for pipes coming out of the water unless you want to feed a waterfall instead of using your fountain-head which is very simple to set up. A pond filter box is a necessity no matter how small or large your garden pond is. Sunlight encourages green algae to grow, fish always produce waste, and who knows what garden matter and debris will find its way into the pond. Keeping your pond water clear and sparkling enhances your enjoyment of the pond and creates an enticing habitat for all manner of wildlife.
