## Description

Automatic back-washing mode:When the pump sucks the water from the fish pond to the inlet bin of the micro-filter and flows into the drum, the drum filter net accumulates foreign matter to a certain amount to block, resulting in reduced water output, the inlet bin water level rises, the liquid level sensing switch automatically opens, concurrently,the controller opens the back-washing mode。1： Put the water pump into the fish pond，connect the outlet pipe with the micro-filter inlet pipe 2: The water outlet is a natural outflow to the fish pond, the pipe diameter can not be less than the factory configuration, otherwise the micro-water level is too high, the machine starts continuously 3: The sewage pipe can be connected to the sewer or stored for use as fertilizer 4: After the pipe is connected, plug in the controller power supply,When the device is delivered, the controller has been adjusted to automatic mode by default. .diameter Specification ：Inlet diameter 2-1/2"(73mm)outlet diameter 4"(114.3mm)Sewage diameter1-1/2(48.25mm)Product size：35“*23”*23“ All metal components are made of 304 stainless steel.

Review: Awesome for the price! - Just set it up and seems to work great for our 1800gph display tanks!
Review: Drum filter what works, what doesn't. - 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 fact 7. 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!

## Features

- Strongly recommend installing an automatic water replenishment valve: a fully automatic water level controller that automatically stops when the water is full,because you'll need to have a way to constantly replenish the water for your pool as it's lost due to filter cleaning.If you are willing, you can prepare a frame with filter cotton for secondary recycling,or you get about 10-30 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!
- Can be used for Filter large fish ponds, with an hourly water output of 8000 gallons, basically meeting the current Filter needs of all fish ponds.General recommendation: The hourly flow rate of the microfilter should be close to the volume of the water, that is, the water should be purified once per hour.best match:elelife 12000GPH-100W,High Flow Submersible Water Pump Water Fountain Pump - Aquarium Pump
- The cleaning cycles are supposed to wash the waste out the sewage port. But about 2 % of that waste, ends up splattered on the inside walls of the filter .

- When the drum is rotating, do not press the drum by hand, otherwise the motor gear will be damaged .do not start the equipment before water, otherwise the cleaning pump dry burn damage. The cleaning nozzle tube can be manually rotated to suitable Angle. lf the cleaning nozzle is blocked, the stainless steel nozzle needs to be twisted out for cleaning.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great value and product.
*by C***S on May 6, 2025*

Wow. This thing is a workhorse. I’ve had it almost a year now. And my pond is definitely clearer than before I had it. It is ran on a 2400 gallon pond with two return barrels with plants in them. I just let the removed waste hit the ground.
