DannerManufacturing, Inc., Pondmaster 1000 Garden Pond Filter, 02211

I inherited a couple of these filters with my house, 4 years ago.They were part of a split 500 gal. fish pond in the courtyard.Sadly, I rough-handled one and broke off the outlet flange, so I ordered a new one.The new one is identical and works great. It comes with filters installed.You might have to open it up (4 screws) to add a weight to get them to sink.The broken one was easily fixed with some MEK (Methyl Ethyl Ketone) because it is PVC plastic.Pipe cement may also work.

Seems well made and easy to assemble, clean and place in pond. Seems to be doing a good job of filtering the pond.

Quality construction. Does a good job, -BUT- it floats when it gets clogged. I have to keep a big rock on it or it floats to the surface and sucks air into the pump. That being said, now that I know that, it’s not a problem.

Perfect

I've tried 3 different filters in my water garden. The first was a skimmer that ended up sucking in and killing a few fish and tadpoles, an above ground filter and finally this one. This filter is by far the best. The water has never been clearer. The trick to cleaning it without dumping dirty water back into the pond is to let the pump run until after you have lifted the filter out of the water. I also like the fact that this filters water before it goes through the pump.

The attachment from the pump to the filter box is flimsy. It broke after less than 12 months of use. There are better options.

straight for ward product. I have a small pond and it keeps the water sparkling clean. You reorder filter material as needed. Just replaced old unit after over 5 years use. Good product, coupled with a pump sized for use.
