Filter & Pump Kits for Garden Ponds

Intro Make pond care simple with a matched filter and pump kit. These bundles pair the right flow rate with the right filtration so you get clear, healthy water without the guesswork. Ideal for new builds and upgrades, our kits cover everything from small patio ponds to larger koi setups, with options that include built‑in UV to keep green water at bay.

Why choose a filter & pump kit?

• Perfectly paired components: The pump’s flow suits the filter’s capacity, so you’re not under- or over-driving the system.
• Easier setup: Fewer parts to choose, compatible hose sizes, and clear install guides.
• Better value: Bundles cost less than buying components separately.
• Ready for waterfalls: Pressure-rated kits can feed a waterfall or stream for a clean, dramatic return.
• Lower maintenance: Many kits include easy-clean features and UV clarifiers for consistent clarity.

Popular kit options

• Value-friendly kits: Great for small to medium backyard ponds, with energy-efficient pumps and simple, reliable filtration.
• UV filter kits: Integrated UVC helps prevent green water and keeps clarity high, especially in sunny Australian backyards.
• Koi and high-load kits: Upsized filtration and robust pumps to handle heavier fish stocks.
• Waterfall/feature kits: Pressurised filters paired with higher-head pumps to run streams and elevated returns.

How to choose the right kit

• Pond size (litres): Match the kit to your actual water volume. For koi or heavy fish loads, size up one model.
• Sun exposure: Full sun or minimal plants? Choose a UV kit for better algae control.
• Waterfall height: Check pump head curves; taller waterfalls need higher head pressure.
• Maintenance preference: Look for easy-clean handles/backwash features to speed up routine rinses.
• Power use: Compare pump wattage and flow to balance running costs with performance.

Key features to look for

• Integrated UV clarifier for green water control
• Multi-stage filtration (sponges + biomedia) for mechanical and biological performance
• Energy-efficient, solids-handling pump
• Quick-clean handles or backwash for faster maintenance
• Durable, weather-resistant housings and secure hose fittings

Installation tips

• Keep hose runs short and smooth to minimise head loss and maximise flow.
• Use the recommended hose diameter for the pump/filter to prevent restrictions.
• Position the pump on a raised base (brick or stand) to avoid picking up sludge.
• Rinse foams in pond water, not tap water, to preserve beneficial bacteria.
• Replace UV lamps annually for consistent performance.

FAQs

• Do I need a UV kit? If your pond gets a lot of sun or you’ve battled green water, a UV kit will make clarity much easier to maintain.
• Can a kit run a waterfall? Yes—choose a pressure filter kit and a pump with enough head height for your feature.
• What size kit do I need? Use your pond volume as the baseline. For koi or full-sun ponds, step up to the next kit size.
• Are kits cheaper than buying separate parts? Typically yes, and you get components that are guaranteed to work well together.
