Product Description

Add a pump, fountain, and filter to your pond at once using the Beckett Professional Filter and Fountain Kit. This kit contains all you need to begin effectively filtering your pond water. Place the included 210 gph pump inside the filter box, and surround it with the biological media balls. These media are covered in spokes of differing heights, offering several crevices for biological bacteria to establish a colony. The coarse and fine filter mats that cover the pump act as a macrofilter, keeping debris from nearing your pump. The lid of the box has a fine screen as well, to allow water in but prevent large debris from entering the unit. This specially designed kit also features risers and two different fountain heads, so you can choose to add a more dramatic feature to your water garden. Choose either the three tier or flower shaped fountain head, and attach it to the top of the riser. Open the diverter valve to power just the fountain, or alter it to power both a fountain and spitter or other small water feature. Use only one riser for a smaller fountain or bubbler. This unit is best suited for filtering ponds up to 350 gallons, and is designed for use in ponds approximately 18 inches deep. The black color and compact size will remain unobtrusive. Essential for fish and plants. Kit includes three tier fountain nozzle, 1440 diverter valve with flow control, and two extension tubes (for waterfall attachment), pump, biological media balls and 20 foot power cord.

This review is from: Beckett 7040210 Pond Filter (Lawn & Patio)

First, the seller, OK Sales did a fine job. They packaged and shipped as you would wish. The pump, however has issues. This came with a nice filter box and generous filter pads. This is ideal for my pond, under the live oak tree. The pump, while listed as 210 gallons, was very small in size and was not a very strong push. It went at one speed then drastically dropped pressure to a dribble. I contacted the Beckett company. They were VERY nice and agreed to ship another pump for a $5 fee. OK, I'll go along with that. I haven't received the new one yet as I just completed the transaction with Beckett. If I had it to do over, I'd go with another Pondmaster brand.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as they used to be., August 18, 2010

I bought this to replace what appears to be an identical Beckett pond filter, that finally died after giving over 10 years of continuous service. The new version has been in service a few weeks now, and initial impressions are that it isn't as good as the old one. The fine screen that's now imbedded in the cover seems to clog very quickly, and it's continually tipping over. A more square shape would be much more stable, although this has the same profile as the old one, which hardly ever tipped.

Not only did this product arrive quickly, but it was more useful and worked far more efficiently than I expected! It maybe have even been too powerful for our little kidney-shaped 4 x 2 x 3 pond. The bio-balls inside the device are odd, but they seem to work well and filtered out the over-winter algae quickly. Plus, we used the diverter to recirculate the water in the pond while also using the spout-like extension for a pretty effect. My Koi are swimming about happily - more so than with another higher-priced filter we purchased a few years ago.
