5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for small ponds, June 7, 2009

I just purchased the Fishmate 500 UV filter. I have a small pond which I was using a Sunterra UV filter the UV stopped working and the pond has not been clear for months. I installed the filter on Friday and by Sunday you could see the gravel on the bottom. They recommend running the filter 24 hrs a day but I have been shutting off at night and it still cleaned up the pond. I is so easy to open and close, with my old filter it was a nightmare of trying to hold the "O" ring in place and line it up to close the plastic clamps. With the fishmate the "O" ring fits into a groove on the base and the top is easily put on and clamped shut, if I had known that it would work so well I would have optted for the 1000 UV. The only downside could be the recommended cleaning once a week.

This filter worked great. Cleared up my pond in 5 days. Crystal clear. The only down side is, it was not made clear that this filter requires a seperate outside pump to run it. So plan on spending another $100 on a pump and hoses.

Within just one week of installing the Fish Mate 500 our pond was cleared of the soupy green stuff. I squeezed out the filter pads once a week for about a month, then once a month,then hardly every. The pond water is clear and the plants and fish are thriving.
