Aquagarden Inpond 5 in 1 - 600 Model

In April, we moved to another house. This house had a very neglected pond in the back yard with 5 goldfish in it. It was cooler, so the pond water was clear, but was obviously in need of some attention as the bottom was covered with muck. A few weeks after we moved, the weather got warmer and the pond water started to turn green. The existing filter equipment was not in working condition, so I decided to buy this filter while I try to get the external filter equipment working. By the time the filter arrived, the water was completely green and I couldn't even see the fish anymore. I put this filter together, added the little fountain and plunked it into the water. At first, I was cleaning the filter out 2x per day. It was working! I started to be able to see the fish once again, instead of orange blurs. Two weeks of 24 hour filtering resulted in much clearer water. Now we are at 1 month with daily cleaning and the water is completely clear and I can see that my 5 goldfish have turned into 6!! I definitely recommend this filter for your pond. It is easy to clean, easy to use and worked better than I had expected. I have zero experience with outdoor decorative ponds, but this little filter did its job and cleared the completely murky water within a few weeks.

Nice pump and easy to clean.

My 1800 gallon pond has biofalls and I seed the pond with beneficial bacteria often but when the air temps are above 90F, the clouds of green single-cell algae thrive, and water clarity suffers (ie visibility drops to one inch). So added this 900 with UV lamp as a additonal filter and aerator. Worked great. Within one week, pond clarity is crystal clear and visibility is all the way to the bottom. Was easy to set up and I like that the pump/filter is totally submersible in the pond (expect for the rain shower snorkel). In addition to filtraron, adds aeration to pond as well. The LED light at night is a nice feature. I wish there was as easy indicator to quickly show that the UV light is functioning. It is possible to check such, but takes a small amount of effort. Otherwise, it worked great for me and I highly recommend. See before and after photos. Suspended single cell green algae inn first photo. Can see to the bottom in second photo. Just ordered replacement UV bulbs for nexts years to come.

After jumping through some serious hoops to find whom to talk to about getting this refunded/replaced, we finally found contact info and we were able to get them to replace the pump part free of charge. I'd give it 5 stars if it were easier to find whom TO CONTACT to get a refund/replacement. The unit when working is fantastic. We have a large 3000-gallon pond that is built into our retaining wall and hill that held our Koi AND Goldfish. Last year we had a HUGE Goldfish spawn and ended up with over 100 babies to get rid of, on top of the adults we had (around 15) so we decided to create a smaller pond JUST for our goldfish. It was a REAL challenge catching them all in our larger pond, but by the end of the summer last year we had managed to catch them all and put them into the smaller pond, which is about 250-300 gallons. I found this filter and it seemed like just what I needed for the smaller pond so we ordered one in the spring of 2020. I liked the fact that it had the UV filter in it as well since it's a fairly small pond and has about 10 goldfish in it. I also liked that it had the fountainhead because I did not have any water surface movement on the right side. Sadly by the end of the season, around September it completely stopped working. I have no clue why, but it's completely DEAD!! It's unfortunate that it broke so soon because it really was working great. Not sure if we just got a bum one, or if they all just conk out after a short period of time, but we will be looking for a new one in the spring again and we probably will not spend the $$ for this one, which was a bit pricy!! But we spend a LOT of money on our ponds each year, we just need to VALUE from what we spend, it's not a cheap hobby to have Koi! lol

I bought this pump because I wanted a pump that I could have in my pond with little worry. I bought this pump about 10 months ago and ever since I got it I have had problems. The pump performs but it does not perform nearly as well as it leads on. I have a pond that is not even 50 gallons and I chose to buy the 200 gallon model thinking that I have enough cushion space. Nope! I have to run this pump for AT LEAST 10 hours a day to keep the water clarity the same (which is not great). If I want the water to be more clear I need to run it for at least 48 hours straight and then continue to run it for longer periods of time. I put a lot of money in the purchase of this pump so I wanted to make it work. I was supplementing this pump with another pump for a long time just so that the water could be suitable for my koi fish. I honestly don't want two pumps in my pond because it looks tacky and there is less room for the fish. Twice I have removed the second pump and allowed for this one to work on its own and twice I have had koi fish die. I have put the $30-$40 pump in on its own and it does better than this overpriced garbage. I did a lot of research on this pump before I bought it and the reviews for it say its good. That's why I bought it. After 10 months of making excuses for its performance I am disappointed with what I got out of it. My suggestion is that if you want something that will work well with a pond with fish get something else.

Great product. Instructions were well detailed. Operates as it should. Had to add some weight on top of the unit without covering all the vents to hold it down. Only flaw I felt is that it didn’t come with a cap to cover the additional port to a waterfall accessory. But a small hose and bolt fixed that. Would recommend to anyone.

Well designed and an efficient use of space. I was impressed with how solid and well put together the unit is. Concerns about floating in other reviews were a non issue, once full of water the unit sat perfect on the base of our pond. The ball joints make for easy adjustment of the fountain. Only point that I was not expecting was the second power cord. One for the pump, one for the UV light. Not a problem, just needed to adjust how we conceal them.

Great little pump

Very simple to use and clean. Cleared pond and worked better then expected. Would highly recommend
