EasyPro EC2600U Eco-Clear Pressurized Filter 2600 gph with 18 watt UV (MPN EC2600U)

The EC2600U Eco-Clear Pressurized Filter with 18 watt UV is designed for ponds with a maximum capacity of 2600 gallons, or 1300 gallons if there are fish in the pond. However, it's important to note that factors such as fish load, feeding rates, amount of sunlight, and other variables can impact the actual maximum capacity that the filter can handle. This filter offers several features that make it a reliable choice for pond owners. The filter housings are sturdy and can be buried, making it easy to hide them for aesthetic reasons. The dual filtration system includes filter pads to collect solid debris and bio-media for effective biological filtration. The filter also has a cleaning indicator to let you know when it needs to be cleaned, and a built-in UV light to ensure crystal clear water. Additionally, there is a backwash valve that helps extend the time between full cleanouts. Cleaning and maintenance are made simple with this filter, as it is easy to disassemble and clean. The inlet and outlet fittings have multi-step connectors, meaning they can accommodate a variety of tubing sizes. The filter comes with a 16 ft. power cord for convenience. To understand how this filter works, dirty pond water enters the pressurized filter. The water passes through multiple foam filters of different densities, effectively removing solid debris. It then moves through bio-media for excellent biological filtration. Some models of this filter also come with high-intensity UV lights that destroy algae cells, effectively eliminating green water. Finally, the cleaned water is returned to the pond. However, it's important to note that this filter is not recommended for use with external or submersible direct-drive pumps.
