A garden pond filter for ponds up to 1,000 gallons that can be used in conjunction with any submersible pump up to 500 GPH flow. Additional units can be added for higher capacities. Its unique handle serves as positive locking mechanism for the filter compartment and provides a convenient means of attaching a rope or pole to position or retrieve the filter in the pond. Also features a quick disconnect fitting which enables it to be easily attached or removed from the pump. Two reusable filtering media: coarse polyester for particle filtration and carbon-impregnated for chemical filtration.
