Super easy to install and operate. Highly recommended.Update. Unit has been working flawlessly for three months. Wish I had gotten the largest one though.2nd update. This unit has been working non-stop for six months. I am running it through the winter since it is feeding my bakki shower and moving bed. No issues whatsoever this far.3rd update. It is been a year and the thingy still going strong. I converted it to WiFi enabled with a $20 bucks relay managed by Alexa.No way you can beat this little gizmo. Still feeding my bakki shower and two moving beds (75G/each). ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Drum filter what works, what doesn't. *by on Reviewed in the United States 27 August 2024* What's bad:1. Box was delivered crushed. The cardboard isn't nearly strong enough for shipping these filters. The filter seems to function ok though, miraculously..2. Filter is rated at 4000 gph, but I couldn't even get close to that. With my pond water about 3000gph was the best I could do, without the filter in a perpetual cleaning cycle. No idea where the 4000 came from.3. This filter is pressure input, gravity output. You need to match the filter output fitting, so free flow output matches pressure input. Most importantly, the water output can never rise above the top of the output fitting. That means this filter must be physically above all output destination fittings in order to function correctly.4. Input water quality greatly affects this filters performance. Leaves and twigs cause bad things to happen when they get inside the drum. Need to filter those out first. The cleaning cycles are supposed to wash the waste out the sewage port. But about 5 % of that waste, ends up splattered on the inside walls of the filter . This ends up right in the output water. So in my case, I still have to clean this filter monthly. This was not designed to be easy to clean!.5. 200 line screen is equivalent to a 74 micron filter. This works wonders for clearing the pond water of flotsam. But fish slime passes right through. So you end up with fish goop all over the inside of the filter, which then gives rise to worms, bacteria, which all happily move into the filter. It's really got to be cleaned regularly to function correctly.6. This is NOT fully automatic, set and forget. Did I mention you have to clean it too?!, and yes, it was not designed to be easy to clean. It's a pita in fact7. You have to adjust the flow rates in and out to minimize washing cycles. For my setup, the washing cycles waste about 35 gallons of water each day. This means your plumbing needs to support flow rate limiting, and you'll need to have a way to constantly replenish the water for your fish as it's lost due to filter cleaning.8. Maybe other brands would be easier to deal with, but this is the only one I've ever bought, so I have nothing to compare too. It works.9. Comes with no warranty, zero, nothing. Cross your fingers.The good:1. It actually works to clear the pond water.2. The cleaning cycle is a pleasure to behold!3. This thing dropped my labor from cleaning my filter sponges every 2 days, to cleaning a drum every 3 to 4 weeks. Saves me a lot of time. But it's not cheap, and it's not easy!4. You get about 35 gallons of free fish fertilizer every day, so pair this with a big garden, and watch your plants grow! By the way, fish fertilizer stinks, so prepare yourself! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fish pond filter *by on Reviewed in the United States 9 February 2026* Works extremely well. Efficient. This is my second one. I run two different applications.This one was packaged very well and arrived with no damage. ## Frequently Bought Together - elelife Drum Filter RDF Fully Automatic Water Filter System, Canister Filter for Aquariums up to 4000 GPH，Efficient UV lamp,316L Stainless Steel Clean Nozzle and 200 mesh Sieve (4000GPH) - Kaytee Koi's Choice Koi Floating Fish Food, 10 Pound - 32W Aquarium UV Light for 100-2000 Gallon, UV Pond Water Clarifier for Koi Pond, Swimming Pool, Spa, Large Fish Tank, Cold Plunge UV Light for Pond Algae Control --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/642785998-rotary-drum-filter-canister-filter-rdf-fully-automatic-water-self](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/642785998-rotary-drum-filter-canister-filter-rdf-fully-automatic-water-self) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-09-02*
