Absolutely brilliant, especially considering the price on Prime Day. Ive added 6 underwater remote control lights for under 20, 3 articial plants from Amazon for under 18, plus 4 pond plants from a local aquatics centre.
My fish will go in, in a cpl of days after the live bacteria and declorinator have a chance to create the proper environment etc. (Again these can be bought from a local aquatics centre or Amazon.. Both cost around 19 together and last ages)
As for assembly, I did it on my own as a middle aged female in a cpl of hours. The ‘view’ products seem to be the ones causing installation issues but not this one. The instructions are unclear in parts so I would recommend watching the You-Tube videos if you struggle.
So far I genuinely can’t recommend this product highly enough
Brilliant item
Really lovely pond and easy to set up and clea
Absolutely brilliant so far, especially for the price. Love it!!

Viewing windows feature pool
Very pleased with this above ground pond. No digging holes. I didn’t find it to difficult to assemble. Just took my time. I can spend hours just watching my fish through one of the windows.

Piece of cake to build.
Easy to build, took me half an hour with my 5 year old. Don’t let people that can’t read instructions put you off.
Fountain fish pond
Perfect from start to finish servis now enjoying my fish pond
Fantastic purchase
Good strong design and the fish love their new home
Lovely feature and it's relaxing
Very nice pond and water feature.
Feet aren’t great to be honest and 1 of the screws popped out from the liner while I was filling the pond so I drained it and tried again as I thought I didn’t fit properly but it did it again, still holding the water no problem but I feel it is putting more strain on the inner hooks.
That’s my only complaint as I am very happy with my purchase would highly recommend lovely feature.
Wow fantastic I bought this for my mum who has just turned 60 within a few hours over two days she built it herself with ease. The pond is high quality and she is extremely happy with it she has sent videos to me and I agree excellent value for money. As a pond and tank enthusiast I love high quality products for my pets and this has ticked all boxes thank you I wish I could give a ten star review. I would like to have a two thousand litre.

Overall ok
East yo install and use but a bit over priced for the size
Great Water Feature
Easy to assemble and set up. Ideally suited to where we wanted to place it.
Not easy to set up. At each stage, those last pins are difficult to get into place when everything is under tension. There was also the worry that if the liner leaked in the end, I would have not considered dismantling and returning it, after all this work. I would probably have gone out and bought a standard liner to drape inside the frame.
That said, everything was fine and working. It’s filled, planted and has fish in. It’s also ideal for my situation where I can’t dig down.
Great feature!
Wow. I love my new pond. Hours of tranquil entertainment. Took me, alone, about 4 hours to put together, but not difficult, just fiddly. Can’t believe how the price has fluctuated on Amazon for this. From 539 to 799. I ended up buying for 549 from somewhere else. It’s fairly expensive for what it is, but the pond liner is great quality and it does include the pump. Looks amazing at night when it lights up. I have 11 different goldfish species in it. Would highly recommend.
Quick and easy to assemble. Excellent quality
The item arrived on time, box was undamaged which gives confidence that the contents may be undamaged.
The contents were checked, were in perfect condition and all were present. A quick read of the instructions and we had the pond completely built and in place ready to fill.
In fact it took me longer to fill the pond.
I have to admit, being in engineering I am quite experienced in using drawings so that probably helped. If you put all of the pieces in groups in front of you when counting, then look at the drawings it is easy enough to work out what goes where.
My wife loves her birthday present, but I can’t believe that I did not have a spare plug in the house so she could see it working immediately.
This is not a complaint that there is not a three pin plug fitted, when you think about it, these are probably exported to countries with two pin plugs, easier for you to fit your own. In fact I needed two because I bought the UV light filter upgrade, better to not let the water to go green in the first place, because you will have to clean the filter sooner. Decent amount of cable on both items but not quite long enough but that is my issue, not the supplier.
Overall a very pleasant experience, I have had fish for over 25 years but had to get rid of my large pond because of small grand children, however we missed the water noise in the garden. This is going to give us a low maintenance water feature which is going to be stocked with some nice little goldfish for the kids to look at through the little port holes. I haven’t tried the pump, LED or UV yet, but this is purely about the pond ease of build which as I said was brilliant.
Excellent thats all......
This product is amazing so easy to put together. Lovely piece for our garden very relaxing sooo worth the money defo never broke the bank!
It was easy to put it together. The Corner mondel comes just with one pocket for plants (I bought additional 3 separately) and no waterfall. But I placed the statue in the corner, looks good. To fit those pockets for plants wasn’t too easy. Would be great to have more colour options. Pump is powerfull enough, I had to reduce the flow, this adjustment is simple also. Light sensir works well. It comes without plugs, you need to buy 2 plugs (for pump and UV).
Very good overall

Looks grea
Instructions are terrible watch the video instead. Great pond looks really good. Pity no cover supplied but made my own to keep herons and the likes out.
Great pond once assembled
Love the fishpond once it’s up but very hard to assemble took two of us 6 hrs to put together. Had to really pull the sides to put fittings in. Instructions not very clear. Now it’s up Love it. its great quality pump and filter and pond lining.
Quick and easy to build
Having read the reviews on here saying about how difficult it is to build I had to write a review to counter this.
One person. Under an hour. It isnt rocket science. Not many pieces. They aren’t Ikea level quality instructions but good enough to work out.
Been setup 24hrs but so far so good. Includes 3 fountain heads but only one is usable at the top of the waterfountain as the others spray overboard.

Brilliant product really good vfm, my grandchildren love it because they can see the fish!! I only bought the small corner unit, but my 3 fish love it!!!! Had lots more fish but heron came visiting so with this they can’t get at the last 3!!!!
Absolutely gorgeous
Absolutely love this pond. Having artificial grass I couldn’t dig one and wanted a water feature too. This was so easy to put together, I did it on my own in about 40 minutes. The only thing I’d say is when you put it together it’s upside down so when you’re putting the windows in put them in upside down too. However, it’s more than easy to take them out and swap them round.
Excelle
Lovely pond , lovely at night when it’s all lit up . Recommend to anyone .
Nice addition to the garde
A good quality pond easy to assemble a nice addition to the garde
It's well worth i
Took two of us to assemble but lovely once filled
good service
essay to put together after you done the fires one
Fab
Be aware pump has no plug so needs wiring up. Pond is fab
I love my pond
Easy to set up – comes with all the gear . Beautiful when finished. It comes with a liner protector to go underneath it – do not forget to use i
Absolut TOP !!
Beim auspacken und vorbereiten waren alle Teile vorhanden . Ich habe es alleine in gut 2 Std aufgebaut , war wirklich alles sehr einfach und mit Bildern beschrieben . Man muss nur aufpassen , da beim Aufbau das Aquarium quasi auf dem Kopf steht , hatte die Teile mit dem Guckloch fr die Fische erst falsch drin, war aber mein Fehler 😉
Steht jetzt schon im Garten und ist dicht und macht einen wertigen, guten Eindruck.
Von mir eine klare Kaufempfehlung !!!
Absolutes Highlight.
Fr Teichliebhaber mit wenig Platz und leidenschaftliche Aquarianer unverzichtbar. Sehr stabile Konstruktion. Sieht super aus und auch das all-in-one Gert Filter, Pumpe und Heizer funktioniert sehr gut. Einzige Schwachpunkte: Kabel wird ohne Stecker geliefert und muss selbst angebracht werden und die LED-Beleuchtung lsst sich nachts nicht ausschalten. Zeitschaltuhr ist auch keine Lsung, weil der Filter durchgehend laufen muss. Wie strend sich das auf den Tag-Nacht-Rhythmus der Fische auswirkt, ist schwer zu beurteilen. Bei mir schwimmen im Sommer kleinere Aquarienfische wie Guppy’s oder Platy’s im Blagdon. Als Zusatzheizung im Frhjahr und Herbst verwende ich fr die kleine Variante des Half Moon zustzlich einen 150 Watt Aquariumheizer. In der kalten Jahreszeit kommen die Fische ins Winterquartier Innenaquarium.
make sure its level it will look fantastic
Our garden is not very big this water feature was just right it looks great very soothing with the waterflow on we love i
Attractive garden feature
I like the look of this item and like to see the fish from the sides while I am sitting in the garde
Finished garden off
Great little water feature. Clicks together with in half hour. Well worth the money. Fast delivery.
Excellent self contained water feature
Well designed and executed. Easy to assemble in 30 minutes or so. Comes with good quality pump and filter pack. I was going to build a brick corner pond but this is so much easier.
Happy purchase
Easy to assemble, took no time at all to build. Instructions could be simplified, make it seem complicated when it really isn’t. Good quality product and looks good too. Competitive price considering the pump and filter is 110+ on its own. Good buy…cheers.
Awesome
I love this, was a little bit fiddly to assemble but considering I was on my own not bad at all. Looks awesome and so relaxing. Just be aware you need two plugs for the pumps/filter unless hard wiring. Best thing I’ve bought in ages.

The pump can be a bit strong when not using the fountain.
The pond looks good when assembled & works well, but the hose for the fountain is a bit long & floats & the light stays on all the time & should have a senser so it’s off during the day. Also why put a unremovable sticker on 1 of the windows? Even with water in in still wouldn’t come off without scratching the window.
This is an amazing and modern way of installing a pond. You definitely need two people to build. The pond is sturdy and the plastic window panels are a key feature which you end up staring at for hours… The provided filter pump is also brilliant just remember to remove the white carbon filter from the plastic bags as i totally forgot and wasn’t filtering probably. Also very easy to clean pump filter. I didn’t incase the pump wiring like they did within the pond lining as this restricts you from removing the pump out for cleaning, i just hid the wires behind the plants. So whenever i cleaned it i had enough slack to take pump out and clean filters.

Das Gartenaquarium wird in einem einzigen Karton geliefert und ist fr den Transport ausreichend geschtzt.
Die sehr hohe Qualitt Garantiert hier eine Langlebigkeit auf alle Flle !.
Bei der Teichfolie handelt es sich nicht um die Standardfolien sondern um eine mit starken Gewebe durchsetzten Pool hnlichen Folie in der die Runden Acrylfenster eingearbeitet sind .
Die Auenwnde sind aus echtem Polygeflecht gewebt mit stabilen Kunststoff Bullaugen als Umrandung der Acrylfenster von der Auenseite.
Der Rahmen besteht aus Hochwertigem Schwarz Lackierten Aluminium und ist somit Rostfrei und wie die Folie auch , auf Langlebigkeit ausgerichtet.
Ebenfalls sind die Lcher in der die Folie an den Haken im Rahmen gehangen wird mit Rostfreien Aluminium sen verstrkt !.
Die Verschraubungen sind aus stabilem sehr stark im Durchmesser gehaltenem Kunststoff .
Alle Materialien sind somit trotz stndigem Spritzwasser Kontakt vllig Korrosionsbestndig.
Die beigefgte Filtereinheit ist mit einem Schwamm , Feinfilterflie und Keramikrllchen (die unter anderem zur Ansiedlung Nitfrifizierender Bakterien gedacht sind) bestckt .
Sie liefert Kristallklares Wasser ohne Schwebstoffe, auf hchster Stufe bzw durchfluss wlzt die Pumpe ber 600l Wasser um was im Stil des View Half Moon mit 133l sehr gut ist , zustzlich lsst sich (Optional erhltlich) eine UVC Lampe erwerben die einfach an die am Filter vorgesehene ffnung eingeschraubt wird.
Das Wasser auf dem Bild ist bereits fast 2 Monate eingefllt mit einem Wchentlichen Wasserwechsel von 20 Litern und
befindet sich teils auch in der Prallen Sonne.
Wir halten in dem Gartenaquarium Aquarienfische da es bei uns im Geschtzten Bereich eines Wintergartens steht .
Die Gesamthhe des Beckens View Half Moon betrgt inklusive installierten Wasserfall ca 60 cm dass Becken allein hat eine Hhe von 43cm .
Der Rest entspricht exakt den angegebenen Maen!.
Die Gre des View Half Moon von 133l sowie die knapp 500l des Grand Half Moon sind auf Dauer allerdings fr die Haltung von Goldfischen ungeeignet ( Diese bleiben bei uns im Gartenteich).
Wohl aber geeignet , sollte das Aquarium im freien stehen fr Bitterlinge und Modderliechen sowie -mit Gegenstrom-auch fr Regenbogenelritzen !.
Unbedingt ist vor dem Fischbesatz das einfahren von 4-6 Wochen wie bei jedem Aquarium Notwendig, da es sonst zwangslufig durch erhhtem Nitritpeak zum Fischsterben kommt !.
Ebenfalls sollte um stabile Wasserwerte zu erzielen ein Bodengrund eingefllt und dieser mit Unterwasser Pflanzen bestckt werden die (wichtig fr heie Tage ) Sauerstoff produzieren sowie Nitrat aufnehmen!.
So hat man lange Freude an seinem kleinem ksystem im Garten/Wintergarten ,
Ich kann dieses Gartenaquarium nach bestem Gewissen nur Weiter empfehlen .
Bei der Bestellung unbedingt beachten das , dass Aquarium nicht mit Stecker geliefert wird , da es International vertrieben wird .
Hier einfach einen Winkelschutzstecker mit Bestellen , die Installation dessen lsst sich einfach mit drei Schrauben durchfhren!.
Der Hersteller aus GB gewhrt 3 Jahre Garantie!.
Ich hoffe ich konnte mit mit meiner Rezension bei der Kaufentscheidung Behilflich sein .

Relatively easy to assemble took just over an hour and a half although I have to say the instructions aren’t great it looks good when done although it only comes with 1 plant basket not the 2 as advertised and the light is on 24/7 as no sensor just to make others aware

Looks great.
Great looking product, took a couple of hours to put together having never done one but would be a breeze if attempted before. Disappointed it didn’t come with tubing for waterfall but can’t wait to get it up and running

Smart looking
Smart looking, looks great in our new garden. Have since added a couple of plants and fish and at night it’s looks great lit up and the fish at the window. Thinking of getting another one !

Das Outdoor-Aquarium gefllt und sehr gut. Trotz englischer Beschreibung ist uns der Aufbau gelungen. Leider fehlt uns der zweite Pflanzsack. Deshalb nur 4 Punkte. Die Fische waren anfangs von den Fenstern irritiert, haben sich aber nach ein paar Stunden daran gewhnt.
Received the pond in good time from Amazon. Assembly was easy and took around an hour and a half . Two things that I done that may help is I used a large flat blade screwdriver for the securing clips , this way you can keep pressure on the clip while turning it . Also I used some washing up liquid on the runners to help slide the panels in . It jus made the whole process a lot easier . Its build upside down . Make sure the liner is warm before you lay it in , leave it in the house or sun for a couple of hours it helps, You need two plugs for the filter and pump , but there is plenty of cable. The pond looks and works great . It is expensive but worth i

I am now the proud owner of 2 of these ponds. I have enjoyed assembling them and find the instruction easy to follow. I have assembled both ponds on my own and they are the 2 larger ponds. I love the way they look and how easy it they are to set up and get going. I have not had any issues with these ponds and highly recommend them, if you don’t fancy or cant dig a big hole in your outdoor space.

Got nothing that is importa
I love my new pond now I can sit in garden and see my fish through the widows, I got a problem with herons so I,m trying to get some mesh to cover the top ,but I got to figure out how to put it on without spoiling the look of my pond.

The LED light in the 5 in 1 Pond which comes with the Pond kit, is being mis-sold. It’s advertised as an ‘Automatic Night Time Spotlight. This is not correct, there is no sensor so the light stays on 24/7 if the pump is plugged in. I’ve contacted Blagdon to ask for the correct light unit to be sent as a replacement.
Update: Blagdon have satisfactorily addressed my problem so have to say they have been prompt and professional.

Just what they wanted
Bought this as a Christmas present so hasn’t been erected yet but good value for money
Great pond bit fiddly to build up but looks grea
Its a little bit difficult to assemble but can be done with abit of help. The plastic bolts come with a flat blade tool which helps, but i found that a small mole grips, grips the bolts better and makes it easy to lock in place. Also the pond is shipped with the plastic pipe folded up !! this kinks the pipe in 4 places and is unable to get out restrcting the flow!! If not using the fountain, then you can use all the piece of black pipe to make up the pipe from the pump to the waterfall. It gets rid of the horrible clear pipe and you get unresticted floe to the waterfall.
I have had lots of comments on how lovely it is .

Great little pond...
What a beautiful looking pond.. quite easy to assemble… really happy with it.
I have had a smaller Affinity Pond before and learnt from this experience that the Pump supplied is very bulky and underpowered to be effective.
So I have now bought myself the Grand Octagon 700 Litres which is big and perfect in every way, ( but please don’t keep Koi Carp in these ). Apart from the poor performing included Pump which immediately got sold on.
Something to note about the lighting system on the included Pump. The Lights have no On / Off switch, it should be noted that fish need to rest as well during night time or they will suffer Stress.
I have now purchased an All in one 9000 Pump compared to 3000 supplied with more powerful 13w UVC compared to the 5w supplied and loaded this with filter bags full of AlfaGrog media for effective removal of harmful Ammonia and Nitrite to less harmful Nitrate. Since the Bacteria that converts the first two can grow on any surface. But the Bacteria to deal with Nitrate, requires conditions to grow within the media and takes considerably longer to establish. Most suppliers do not take the Nitrate problem serious enough, relying on the owner to undertake regular weekly water changes to lower Nitrate levels in the Pond or Aquaria instead.
Pond is so easy to assemble and I have included instructions from the supplied manual in this review.
In addition I have also purchased 2 x Affinity Waterfalls connected to a ‘Y’ 10mm pipe connector.
In the centre of the Pond I have installed a 90L upside down cube aquarium also referred to as an upside down pond that provides extra swimming space to the fish and looks brilliant.
From past experience of these I would certainly recommend the Pond Heater for those freezing temperatures as the Pond is not deep enough with the sides exposed to the freezing conditions outside which may cause fish deaths.
Otherwise Great Pond but poor performing included Pump.
The pump included in this Kit is the 5 in 1 2000. it will not be able to have the waterfall feature, just standard water fountain. the LED light does not switch off either. I rang Blagdon and they said that all new Kits now have the 3000. pump, which does allow for the waterfall and the light can be switched of or can be put on a sensor. The Pond itself looks lovely when complete but is a bit fiddly to put together, this can be done by 1 person, but if you have help that would make it easier. as i have the 2000 pump i wasn’t able to have the Waterfall which is particularly what i wanted. but i had already added the fish so couldn’t send back… which is a shame as that was the main reason i brought the pond for the waterfall. although in my picture the waterfall is attached, the pipe wasnt secure and kept popping out of the inlet valve, thats when i knew it was the wrong pump for the waterfall.
I read the reveiws, watched the videos on assembly and decided this easy option was for me.
Arrived early on the prescribed day, set out all the components and laid out the underlay, decided this was not large enough for construction so laid out our camping mats. Bgan by trying to push together the top rails and had to resort to the workshop to reform several of them so that they sat home. However on putting the uprights in place the whole thing fell appart. NOT what the video showed!!!!!
Resorted to a peice by peice build.
One brace peice was only partialy drilled but soon remedied. The rest of the construction was easier until I came to the FEET. These were very badly formed and melted so had to put them through the workshop again.
The whole BUILD took 4hrs 2hrs of which were spent on the top rails.
A nice addition to the garden living area and I will get lots of enjoyment out of it.
The video on youtube should be re worked with more detail of construction.

NOT what the video showed!!!!!
Resorted to a peice by peice build.
One brace peice was only partialy drilled but soon remedied. The rest of the construction was easier until I came to the FEET. These were very badly formed and melted so had to put them through the workshop again.
The whole BUILD took 4hrs 2hrs of which were spent on the top rails.
A nice addition to the garden living area and I will get lots of enjoyment out of it.
The video on youtube should be re worked with more detail of construction.
Impressive
Easy to fit nice size looks good especially at nigh
I absolutely love this, its nice sitting in a garden chair watching the fish and listening to the water, i have 6 goldfish in mine and they seem to be doing well, Grandkids have named all the fish and love watching them the only down side was putting it together it was a bit of a nightmare but was worth it.
Perfec
I too was reluctant to buy due to the negative reviews. I am glad I did!! It came within 3 days. Yes, it takes an hour to set up, but that is the norm for anything you have to put together. Bear in mind to have the pieces the right way around. Clips seamlessly together. Just follow each step. Everything is in excellent working order. I love my new mini pond. I think my granddaughter will love it too.

Es ist ein sehr schnes Auenaquarium. Aufbau war einfach hat alles sehr gut geklappt. Mit dem Stecker ging es auch einfach. Das einzige was ich zu Beanstanden habe sind die Mae. Lnge und Tiefe sind Korrekt aber die Hhe stimmt berhaupt nicht es sind keine 61 cm es sind nur 43 cm habe es leider erst gemerkt als ich es schon aufgebaut hatte. Mal schauen ob ich meine Goldfische durch den Winter bekomme. Und dann werden es auch keine ca. 300 ltr. sein. Ansonsten sehr schn fr die Gre aber zu teuer!

It arrived 3 days before the date given that’s great service, the pond was easy to put together ( helps to watch the videos on youtube Blagdon assemble ) I built this whilst watch BGT (1Hour) looks great very easy to wire to a Blagdon switch box , can’t wait for the fish to arrive
An attractive, useful garden feature. That is the plus. On the negative side it was difficult to erect because some of the sections did not fit together smoothly and the instructions were poor. U Tube videos are available but these seem to skip some of the important steps.

For any size garde
My husband was over the moon with the pond. He cannot wait to put fish in it.
I bought this in April and it's been wonderful this summer with flowering plants and the fish love it. Perfect addition to the patio and very well made. Highly recommended

This took me with average diy skills around 4 hours in total to set up the frame, insert the liner then run cables and wire two plugs up (plugs are not included you need 2). This cost me around 500 and although it doesnt seem like the materials are worth that much it does look great so cannot complain. I have it running now for over 2 weeks with 10 fish in it (5 small orfes, 4 gold fish, 1 sturgeon) with the only issue being some algae build up on the windows which is easily wiped clean. Overall very happy with only concern around build quality as i dont think it will age very well as it looks a little dirty now after only a couple of weeks but time will tell. Happy with purchase and would recommend!
Looks great.
Looks great, even without plants of fish in yet!
Took less than an hour to assemble and fill!
Just right for a small garden.
Great little pond
Great little pond. Only a couple of things could do with a couple more windows possibly. Also algie grows very quickly. But relaxing litening to the fountain.
I was close to not purchasing this due to the number of reviews regarding difficulty of assembly, however I was gladly surprised how simple it was. I’m not sure if the instructions or quality have improved recently but it took about an hour and a quarter to assemble, working steadily. The only discrepancy in the instructions is to feed the cables between the liner and frame before starting to clip the liner to the frame at the back inclusing the back corners (instructions state to leave two out but it’s not enough).
The overall look of the pond is excellent. As it has only been up and running for less than a week I can’t comment on the quality of the pump/filter but for the size of the pond I think it will be OK (filter includes ceramic media, 2 different mesh filters and a top layer of filter wool, as well as the UV). I will provide an update in a couple of months on the quality of the water and the pond itself.
Overall really pleased with it and would give it 5 stars, but until I’m confident the water quality is maintained can only give it 4.
Update, not quite the couple of months as I stated above! However, after owning this for nearly 2 years I am still happy with it. Sticking to 4 stars as I’ve had an issue with the pump. One side of the handle broke, it does still lock down though. With the handle not being fully secure I started to lift with the tube, and this managed to become undone (refitted it but meant taking the UV housing out to retread the nut and tighten back up). So lesson there, don’t lift it with the tube 🙂

Kleinere Probleme ,die jedoch mit dem Kundendienst zu voller Zufriedenheit behoben wurden.zur Strkung der Bullaugen habe mir Plexiglasscheiben eingebaut. Top
Weiter so.
Ich kann diesen Teich sehr empfehlen. Die Aufbauanleitung war sehr verstndlich, zwar in englisch aber durch zustzliche Bilder alles super erklrt. Es passte einfach alles. Ich habe mir alle Teile vor dem Aufbau angeschaut um evtl. Schden gleich zu sehen, aber es war alles i.O. Nach dem Aufbau nur noch Wasser einlassen und los geht’s. An den elektrischen Gerten sind keine Stecker dran, da der Teich nicht aus Deutschland kommt. Die Kabel sind schon vorbereitet und man muss nur noch die Stecker dran schrauben.
Jetzt haben wir einen tollen Blickfang auf der Terrasse.
Excellent produc
Excellent product. It looks stunning on my patio. Very easy to maintain compared to my old pond. Instructions are not the best and it takes two people to attach the lining.

I already have one like this and sure when we put it together in the next few days will be good and this one was a good price
Excellent all in one product, I am very happy with it.
These are superb garden water features. They are relatively easy to set up and provide an eye catching feature in any garden. They are ideal for goldfish and the portholes provide a great way to watch them. Since I set mine up I’ve spent a lot of time sitting on the patio enjoying the sound of the water and watching the fish swimming around contentedly.
The In Pond pump is more than adequate for a pond of this size and set up and cleaning are really straightforward. I’ve added the UV clarifier to mine to ensure the water stays clear. It is a shame this is an extra with the Affinity Pool as if you buy the pump separately its included. Still, that’s a small point compared to the pleasure these pools provide. I’m really looking forward to the grandchildren visiting and seeing the fish!
I’ve now had the pond for a few weeks and there are a couple of maintenance points it’s worth knowing about:
1. The clear tubing for the fountain/ waterfall needs to cleaned every few weeks to prevent a build of dirt which can slow the flow of water. I took the waterfall off and rinsed the tubing with hot water while squeezing it to dislodge the dirt.
2. The blue and green sponges need a proper clean very 4 weeks or so as they do become clogged up – the pump is very good! Cleaning then thoroughly ensure water f filtration is good and the fountain gets good water flow.
Clogged tubing and/or sponges are the most likely culprits if you’re experience poor flow to the filter and fountain / waterfall.
