Even the fish love it!
A great piece of kit. Straightforward to install. After 5 days and 2 filter cleans my pond has gone from green and murky to clear and bright. My only gripe would be the exit port diameter of 50mm which has made reducing to 22mm for cascade a bit of a problem. Otherwise perfect.

Short power leads
The media could not be loaded. Well I put this together today so it's too early to tell how clean it's going to get the water, it does seem well made and despite the poor instructions it quit easy to put together, I have some issues, 1 the power leads are way way to short both for the filter box and the pump, to put this into perspective I also have a fountain pump that is now running the log waterfall, the power lead for that reaches from the top of my pond to the power socket on the wall of my house, to run this combo I had to purchase another outdoor double socket extension lead, I also had to purchase 2 pugs, issue 2, I cand find any way of telling if the filter box UV light is working as there is no indicator light from what I can see and I can't hear any noise except the water, and for the person whos review said after cleaning he wasn't sure which way the lid goes back on, the inlet in the top of the lid needs to be the opposite side to the outlet if that helps, the price for this combo does seem reasonable compared to some others I looked at, the reason for 4 stars is Purley due to the short power leads and having to purchase plugs.I would definitely recommend this combo kit from my experience so far, however this has only been running an hour so time will tell.

Good filter box for Pond!
For anyone looking to connect pipework to the filter outlet to divert the flow, I have purchased one of these...https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B005IW8V92?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_detailsAnd confirm that it fits the 50mm outlet perfectly and allows you to add 40mm SOLVENT WELD pipe to the outlet. I imagine 40mm push fit would work but it has a slightly smaller external diameterI purchased the BF-6000 (filter only) to use as a secondary filter to my main filter.My main filter (a Blagdon Clean Pond Machine) already has a UV steriliser but not very good mechanical filtration (great Biological filter though). I wanted to try the BF-6000 as a relatively cheap mechanical filter to supliment my other filter which outputs to a waterfall.The main filter has a valve on it to divert the flow to waste for cleaning - this was a handy connection to tap into to feed the BF6000 and setting this to mid-position, feeds the waterfall and BF6000, allowing me to control the flow rate to the box filter.This works very well and the BF-6000 showed it's woth in a few hour of running, pulling out a considerable amount of suspended solids. It's also easy to clean the foam filters, they just slide out.This was an experiment for me and works very well. Recommended product.

Notice the difference in just a few hours
Only put this in a few hours ago, but felt compelled to comment so soon.I inherited the pond with the house, it is only 12x6ft x2deep, with 20 or so fish and a few plants. This set may be on the large side for that size pond. But rather too much than not enough. The last filter was homemade so decided not to try and work it out. But within just a few hours the water is so much clearer already. The UV light inspection hole is useful. The water temp and dirty water indicators really useful.No idea on the cleaning of it yet, hence the lower marks. But does not look that difficult. Easy to get to all parts. The instructions are not brilliant if a novice. Still not sure the lid is on the right way round, or even if it matters. But I assume it's right as it's working well. No info on the dirty water indicator also (it's when it's at the top it is dirty) Little things, but something in the instructions would be good. The only real negative is the outlet pipe is only 2 inches or so. It pours a good 6 inches and at a good rate (pump on max). So needs to sit next to the pond. We want ours directed to a waterfall, so I need to get a pipe reducer to go on to this to enable me to use other piping. But no biggie. My mistake expecting something for that end.good price and good at doing what it's meant to. Although, just a few hours; assuming it carries on working, a dam good buy.:UPDATE: cleaning was fun! the filters come out real easy and easy to clean, however, which way the filters go back in is a mystery. Nothing anywhere hows that way the opening should be. The installation manual is pointless as it just says replace them, and the diagram that shows the flow does not indicate which way they should go. I have tried each in every place, yet it constantly says it's dirty yet the water is crystal clear. So it works and is really good. But yet another issue with instruction/installation guides being rubbish. Which seems to be a common issue nowadays. Better off saving paper and not include them for what they are worth.
