can you use this as filter for a fish pond?

I have not used it for a fish pond but it works great in filling our hot tub removing chemicals and heavy metals. The instructions say that it also good for washing cars removing hard water spots. So I would think it would work well for a fish pond.

Hi Ruth. The pool is big, but not big enough for a filter. You may want to call customer service for that question. Good luck. The Maj

Not really. I think what you want is a particulate filter or reverse osmosis for that issue.

I have a 380 gal pond and use the 1000 fishmates filter and a 1000 gph pump. The pump is a bit overkill but the filter is fine. You should have no problem with the combo you are asking about. I would not go bigger than the 800gph pump though.

I don't see why not; however, it may take some time as you say your pond is large and I merely used it to transfer fuel from a riding mower to a can. I would recommend perhaps beginning with a wet/dry vac then as you near the bottom, then use this item.

Absolutely, they would love it I'm sure! We don't have fish in ours but we have a small filtration pump which keeps it quite clean & I put clarifier in when it clouds a bit which causes debris to fall to the bottom. Depending on where you live I have heard that herons may come by & grab a gold fish out of the pond like it's a suchi bar so people put screen over the top.

If your bait pond is more than about 80gal. This is not the filter for you,the return fitting is about a mil off so. I just left I left the hose and let it run down a waterfall.

I think you'd have to keep it in a dry place. I use it for a 55g turtle tank indoors, and it works great. But I think for the price you could do better on outdoor "pond" filters.

I use this on my 2000g pond with a sand gravel filter. No cleaning filters.. just use air. This would be overkill for 200g. Look at little giant pumps.

Yes you can. It will just filter the water more thoroughly essentially making better tasting water.

The filter does not go in the water. You can set it on the ground anywhere near your pond! The filter works great< but you need a uv light for perfectly clear water, which we purchased one and for the first time we can see the baby fish, which aren't no bigger than your fingernail on your pinky!!! The best investment we ever made!!!

This is not really designed to be a cleaning filter in my opinion. It is more of a fountain waterspray than filter. My recommendation would be to get a regular pond filter, especially if you plan on having any fish or plants.

Yes. I assume you could use a reusable filter, but it naturally requires cone-shaped, paper filters.

In theory, yes. I use mine as essentially a filter for my pond, and for the most part, I don't have issues with leaking. Due to some rough treatment on my part, however, it will occasionally let a sliver of water through if it's not positioned correctly. As long as you don't strip the drain plug fixture while using a socket wrench and pliars, you should be ok.

Absolutely, but i highly recommend purchaseing a REAL filter. The one it comes with is worthless, i threw it out and just frequently clean my tank, and do often water changes.

Is actually going to keep that pond water crystal clear.If pond capacity is less than 1000 gallons is even better!This filters are awesome. Recommended!

It will be sufficient if you have 5 or less fish, and there is not a lot of direct sunlight on the pond. My pond was full sun all afternoon and 5 fish, I needed to clean my filter more often then one a friend had in a shaded pond of 1000 gallons in the shade same number of fish.
