Description
Aquascape UltraKlean 2000 and 3500 are pressure filters with biological media and integrated UV clarification for pond filtration. Their sponge-free BioBalls media captures debris and provides surface area for beneficial bacteria; the UV lamp helps control suspended green-water algae.
Choose the filter and a compatible pump
Use the average pond-size guidance below as a starting point, then account for fish load and pond conditions. Check the actual flow reaching the filter, including pipe and elevation losses. A separate pond pump is required; this listing is for the filter.

Cleaning and seasonal care
Use the backwash function for routine cleaning and follow the manual for lamp and quartz-sleeve maintenance. Install the filter outside the pond with access to the lid and valves. In freezing climates, drain it and store it in a frost-free location as instructed.
For a packaged pump-and-filter option, compare UltraKlean pond filtration kits. Check the kit contents against your installation.
