AllPondSolutions CUP-311 – 2500L/H All in One Pond Pump Filter with Fountain and 11w UV Sterilise
CUP-311 All in One Pond Filter Pump UV
by All Pond Solutions
The All Pond Solutions All-in-One CUP-311 System combines everything required to to run a healthy algae-free small to medium sized pond. Designed as a single smart unit with a single power cable it allows for a much easier installation compared to a standard pond set up.
The CUP-311 includes a built-in 11w UVC Lamp and filtration system combined with a 2500 litres per hour pump eliminating the need to purchase an external filtration system, which can be difficult to integrate around the landscaping of a small pond.
This system is also supplied with a high-quality fountain attachment set comprising of three different fountain attachments, ideal for a variety of displays in your pond. The set also includes a splitter, enabling you to divert water to a waterfall, for example, and both the splitter and fountain are flow-rate adjustable. This gives you total control over the strength of your fountain and the volume of water diverted from the unit.
Filter Media
The included filtration media includes a large coarse filter foam that water must pass through first and also three filter media baskets, two are filled with ceramic biological filter media and the last one with K1 filter media. Alternatively you could change the included media inside these baskets for an alternative pond filter media of your choice.
Cleaning / Maintenance
Access to the inners of the CUP-311 is extremely easy thanks to the four clips positioned 2 on opposite sides of the unit. Once these are removed you have full access to all filter media areas for cleaning and maintenance. Removing the pump and steriliser is achieved by unscrewing 3 screws, allowing these parts to be removed completely clear of the CUP-311 base.

We read the reviews, and wasn’t convinced this unit could clear the pea soup in our pond, but our pictures are taken one week apart, and the improvement has been dramatic! The unit is bigger than we anticipated, so do measure beforehand, but it’s really easy to install, clean the filters etc. The secret is the UV light, which is the hard work. I don’t know how long this pump and filter will last, but at this price point, we’ve been seriously impressed.
Just swapped my 305 for the next one up. Nothing wrong with 305 and had it quite some time and it’s kept the water clear. I bought a mini blade but the 305 couldn’t pump the water fast enough. Great for a fountain but not for waterfall
Item ordered on the 4th delivered today packed really well instructions on installation easy to understand recommend all pond to friends
Although the unit was bigger than I expected, I have been very pleased with the pump. Easy to clean, this unit produced crystal clear water within a few hours in my medium sized pond. Hopefully this will last as long as my previous pump.
I purchased this fully expecting to have wasted my money but it’s been brilliant. Last year we tried adding a filter to the pump, using barley straw, pond additives etc but still the water was disgusting. The old pump broke so thought we would give this a try and within a week the pond had cleared to such an extent that it had gone from not being able to see any of the fish to the bottom of the pond being visible and you can even see the black fish in the water.
This pump is incredible. I really can’t rave about it enough. My pond spent all last year looking like pea soup but now it is crystal clear. I am beyond happy with this product and highly recommend. I can sit and watch tadpoles at the bottom of my pond in perfect detail. The fish are happy and so am I.
Very easy to install pond was really dirty but even after 24hours the water is looking cleare
just chuck it in the pool and your away, great pump, can even have two outlets connected and still the fountain sprays well.
would buy agai
Not going to post what it is and what you get as you can read that on the advert and you can watch a number of YouTube videos but this filter really did clear my pond in the garden of the house we have recently moved into in around 4 days … I Have cleaned the filter out as it has put in a heavy shift since installing but that was a doddle too.
Will keep you posted on how long the pump lasts … My only reservation is that the filter / pump comes with a spare impeller unit which suggests that they wear out quickly or the manufacturer recognises a weakness. No mention of a spare in the instructions.
The unit is also a big larger than initially imagined …check YouTube vids for a sense of scale for this unit.
This review is entirely independent and follows the purchase of this item rather than any form of payment or inducement.
If this has been helpful please give me a like.
I don’t normally writer reviews but …..
.After moving house I inherited apparently 5 Koi Carp.
.I thought these fish were all green and partially invisible. Apparently I also had a bottom feeder….I saw it once!
The original pond pump and filter where apparently from ancient times, so not knowing much about these fish I thought I would treat them to this ALL IN ONE pump and filter.
It couldn’t have been easier…after washing the pump innards in pond water. I put it in then plugged it in ….WOW it worked !!!
I’m still unsure how to use the fancy …. extra pump fountains but actually right now I’m not bothered.
It’s take 5 days to see my fish clearly.
Some people would have been inpatient and complained about it by now…..but be patient.
I can now see the bottom of my pond and my fish …they are no longer green and the bottom feeder now needs to hide.
I can say I now have happy fish that I can enjoy seeing.
I recommend this product for ease of use and effectiveness.
Easy to install, but a little different to EU products that it doesn’t come with a plug, there is no 12 volt transformer so it runs of direct 240v, so be very careful when near water.
We had really green pea soup water and tried every product there was. I read reviews and although believed what I was reading it was still hard to see how the water could become clear. However, it became clear in about 2 weeks and has stayed clear ever since. We have removed the pump out over winter and will put it back again soon. The water has stayed very clear and in all our years we have never seen the bottom of the pond so clearly. The fish seem to be swimming more actively than before so can only hope they are enjoying the clear water as well. The filters do need cleaning and only suggestion would be if the product could come with a spare filter.
Well made solution to pond use with gravity filter work well
This filter pump has produced excellent results – aeration / clear water – can see the bottom of the pond.
The results far better than the old previous system
That pump is very efficient, doesn’t need to be on all the time
Only had this item a couple of months and the motor has burnt out , I’m not happy at all I would like e replaceme
First product stopped working. FANTASTIC customer service. Product replaced (old one returned) and is working perfectly.
Since previous review I’ve bought CUP305 which is smaller but just as good and efficient for a smaller pond
Nice smooth running filter. Works well with my pond waterfall, which is around 1.5m above the pond itself. Pond is also lovely and clear.
Also can’t hear any noise.
I’ve had this for a couple of years now and it’s still going strong. Fully recommend. Also parts are easily obtainable from manufacturer.
Bought to replace a separate pump and filter that I had had for years.
Ideal if you want a fountain and a waterfall feature operating at the same time at the.
Can be a little messy to clean when full of sediment.
Previous pump and filter ran well for 10 years. However needed replacing. This new all in one unit was fitted and immediately the pond water improved, so much that it had to be cleaned after a couple of days during the first couple of weeks . Now maximum once a month seems to work best. The pond is nearly a metre deep and for the first time this year can see the bottom clearly. It is so clear may need to net to keep the heron away.
Delivery and packing could not be faulted
This filter pump is one of the best I have ever had. It is so nice to combine the fountain with the filter. One thing to note is that it is quite heavy when you have to pull it out of the pond to clean the filters – I have tried to place mine where I don’t have to lean too much. But apart from that it is does a brilliant job of keeping my pond lovely crystal clear.
Used this on a small pond, cleared water within 3 days, actually inspired me to extend the pond from 4ft x 2ft x 15″ to a raised 5ft x 3ft x 3ft (internal dimensions). Re – installed this filter with fountain head and pipe going to small waterfall. Had to mount filter on sunken pot because of the depth, water quality is crystal clear, fountain and waterfall look good.
My pond went from pea soup to crystal clear in the space of a week. For me this unit is excellent.
On day 1, it seemed to have a really good flow rate and was stirring up all the detritus that had built up over many years. I came back about five days later and I could see it had made a bit of a difference to the clarity of the water, but couldn’t see that well through it. I started to get concerned that the misses and mother-in-law might have words with me! “Give it time!” I said hopefully! Day eleven and it was getting clearer to the point of being able to see about halfway down the depth of the pond. “It should get clearer still!” I said, again hopefully! Day 20 and the water has been cleaned so much that you can now see the fish at the bottom of the pond. There is just a slight fog in the water, but based on its performance so far, I guess this will be crystal clear within another few weeks.
The flow rate is still as good as it was, and the UV steriliser is obviously man enough to deal with the thickest of green water and good enough to kill off any new algae trying to grow while the direct sunlight is on it.
I cannot say enough good things about this pump which is in use in a heavily stocked ornamental gold fish pond. We did not mean it to be heavily stocked, but they keep breeding and we cannot find homes fast enough. I think that they are happy. The pump had to be cleaned twice a day for a couple of days, then once a day and now about twice a week. Cleaning is very easy and I suspect will become rare when we get the fish down to the proper number for the pond. This pump is a great deal cheaper than the expensive disasters we have used in the past. It arrived promptly and was easy to install.
My main pump backed up so decide to get one of these . Took a couple of weeks but the pond is now the clearest it has bee
Fantastic pond pump with uvc .easy to install using a standard 3pin plug with only a 3amp fuse(don’t, forget to use a waterproof socket with Rcd protection) enough flow to run a water feature as well as a fountain.keeps pond clear and adds oxygen to keep your fish happy,all in all a great value product with plenty of features to suit most small ponds.
I didn’t knpow there was such as thing as an ‘all in one’ pump/UV filter until I saw one in my local garden centre/pond supplies shop…but the price was offputting. Found this one on Amazon and so glad I did. Just took it out the box and 15 minutes later it was in the pond and working. It keeps the pond clear and will happily go for two weeks before the filter needs a clean – just lift out of the pond, remove the fountain and lid (4 clips) and give it a good hose, it takes me 10 minutes. My previous set up (pump in pond, pumping water to an outside UV filter) was a real pain and took ages to disconnect/clean and then sort ou leaks etc! This is really good!!
So pleased with this product it does exactly what it says on the tin my pond was horrible and green and within one week it was clear I could see the fish after two weeks it’s crystal clear.
I’m most impressed with this unit.its easy to install and the water fountain feature is great. But, best of all is that it clears the pond nicely so we see the fish.
Recommended item
All pond solutions products are a great price, easy set up and easy to clean. I’ve had several of their pumps and they work brilliantly
his is the best pond pump I have ever had so easy to clean cleans the water perfectly will buy another for a smaller pond
Its a very good pump for the price, larger than I expected , my water quality has improved so much , no longer losing fish, unclick to clean , UV light on mine doesn’t work though , has good flow rate and is powerful
My pond is 120cm x120cm x50cm deep, this pump/filter cleared the algae in a week,. I thought I had 8or10 fish but now I can see the bottom there are about 20. I found no problem installing or cleaning it. Best pump I have bough
I purchased this to replace a Hoselock Pump which I have used for several years. I wanted to get better value and I have. This produces a better fountain effect, is easier to clean and lasts longer between cleans. Definitely recommend .
Much more powerful than more expensive comparisons. Also comes with spare drive motor and spray accessories. Not yet had its first clean so low score but it appears to be easy enough.
Cleared pond in 3 days. Run it overnight just to keep algae at bay. So far it’s worked really well. Can now see fish. Powerful enough to run a small waterfall. Considering getting rid of large out of pond filter as this does the job just as well.
Good delivery, easy to put together, working very well. Downside is getting it out the pond each time, full of water at depth. Needs a handle, frogs take refuge in the side grips!!
Just superb in every sense. Great flow rate. Water has never been so clear. Opening the box, you will be delighted to see what a quality item this is. Supplied with spare pump impeller and bits to organise waterfalls and different fountain patterns. Would buy other products from same source.
Bought this to replace Hozelock Clearwater pond pump that had died. The unit is a very solid, serious piece of kit and pumps the water with quite a bit of force. However, the user instructions are pretty useless, especially if you’re not familiar with this pump or don’t install pond pumps regularly. In fact, they were misleading and it would have been a lot simpler if we hadn’t read the instructions first!
I had to send the first one back as it would not switch on. The second one however was perfect ,clearing the cloudy murky water in a couple of days. As a tip do not chose a shower head that sprays the water outside of the pond area !
Excellent! Our pond has been green for years ..this went in and three weeks later the pond water was clear! Really good purchase we can see our fish!!
Tried many products to clear pond water but no luck. This filter did the job in just a couple of days (had to clean it twice) and has kept the water crystal clear. Highly Recommended.
brill pump.ive tried everything get rid of my algea pea green pond.it was bad and the pump was working but having clean it quite alot so changed my pond water and it was cloudy and now its crystal clear best pump i ever had.
This item has been in our pond for some weeks now, and is really keeping the water clear. Highly recommended. Much easier than having a separate filter box, UV light and fountain/pump, which is what this has replaced.
Transformed my murky pond into a crystal clear haven for the fish. (You have to clean it a couple of times as the dirt all ends up in the filter) But spot on!
I’d been having problems with thick pea like algie and had tried all different things on the market, decided to get this uv filter pump. My pond is clear, l now can enjoy my fish. Would recommend this product without a doubt brilliant, was delivered quickly, was easy to set up, Im really happy.
I was sceptical at first and even after a week I saw no result. Then after a clean and removing a thick layer of sludgy, green algae things started to improve. The green has faded and this little power house has cleaned a 3500l pond in the space of two weeks. It’s super easy to maintain, and requires minimal cleaning but incredibly effective. Most importantly, I can see my fish again!
Second one I’ve purchased for our new bigger galvanised tank. The water is crystal clear, probably to big for what I needed but nothing else available. 5 product. Other pump will be kept as a backup incase of an emergency.
I bought this for a pond in spain that was dark green and watever we tried would not clear.
After installing this pump, within a few days the water started clearing and now after a week we can see the fish .
It will need aa few more days to clear fully but I am very leased with the results so far.
Its easy to take apart to clean filters .just afew minutes including washing out.
Delivery was quick and well packaged.
fully recommend
Ok ,so , I,m giving this a 5 star ,because easy to set up, easy instructions .It is so far working , can see a slight difference every day to the green pea soup pond water . Thankyou All Pond Solutions ,long may it last after many frustrating weeks before of others that didn’t work .With 3 variant fountain tops lovely ive tried all 3 great .It came in the slotted time . And im very pleased ,Will use All Pond Solutions again .
Never thought I’d write a review, but this filter does exactly what it says.Pond on friday night looked like pea soup,and after looking for options to clear water i decided to buy this filter from all pond solutions.ordered it friday evening and it was delivered Saturday before 11.30 am.see from photo by monday afternoon 90% clear water.excellent filter and can certainly and have recommended this to other people
Been using it for a week now apart from having to put a plug on it it was almost ready to geo. It’s easy to set up has a range of different diffusers and the filter is easy to access, so far so good!
So far this pump is doing great, it has a powerful waterfall on it which the fish like!
This combined filter, clarifier and fountain works exactly as expected in my medium sized pond (approx. 3x1m, 2000 litres). The flow rate is great and I like the fact that both the fountain and outflow are separately adjustable . The fountain is powerful and can achieve a maximum height of about 1.5-1.8m in my pond. The pond was very green and full of blanket weed, but cleared within about a week after installing the filter (cleaning the filter each day). I’ve added an additional layer of filter material to ensure that our newts and other small creatures can’t get past the filter and injured in the pump mechanism.
After trying several chemical treatments, barley straw and a few other products I can honestly say this by far exceeds all of them. After a very sunny May and June this last 4 weeks the water is still exeptionally clear. My goldfish are swimmimg around happily and the dreaded green shadow in the water has not stood a chance. I tend to run the pump at a low level overnight and then higher during the daytime.
It is very well constructed too.
I have not received any financial incentive or even a request by the manufacturer to write this review. Im just doing it because after a hot sunny month I am very impressed by its performance. Very easy to dismantle too if you want to clean out the filters and uv bulb and chamber.
I’ve now had my pond filter for a few years. I’m looking for the hose size I should get to extend it to a waterfall too…
Can anybody help?
Well picture does not show how well made this product is.
I was going to buy a pump at twice the price and glad I didn’t as this is the best one we have had.
Filtration unit much larger than I thought so really pleased
Very easy to put together took 2 mins not including putting plug on it
I would very highly recommend to anyone
Turned our small pond from pea soup to crystal clear water in three days. Filter was cleaned on day 2 and day 4 – very easy to do. Would highly recommend if you have an algae problem. Great product.
Only been in the pond for a few days but seems to clear the water and filter really well. My pond is bogging as we just moved in to this house and the existing filter etc had been broken for a long time, I bought this and have just removed it for cleaning which was quite a simple process. It will take a few cleans to sort my pond out fully I believe, but the way its doing its job I think it will be low maintenance when I get it in a fit state.
The attachments give you lots of options for fountain or gentle water spill from the top and are very effective.
What can I say? fitted and working great, My old pump had packed up so purchased this as a replacement. The water was in a bad state and you could barely see any fish! within a day it’s nearly clear! Do not doubt this, it is a great unit!
I think that the Pump and Filter are fantastic and the views expressed by others are bang on.
However in deciding to carry out the recommended maintenance I hit problems.
I could not open the pump casing to get at the Impeller it was bound tight with no apparent screws or clips.
The same thing applied with the UV clarifier where no apparent access was available to get at and change the Quartz.
I have had pumps and filter for nearly 20 years and none of them have been as good as this CUP-311.
When re-assembled nothing worked and reliable as ever Amazon have exchanged it.
Apart from these problems it is very good.
I am hoping to speak to the Manufacturer for guidance to avoid a repeat.
I am hoping to speak to someone at the manufacturers in order to avoid any problems in the future.
Very good customer service. Asked advice for the size I should purchase and again had a question about flow setting on installation; both times they were excellent and very prompt with reply. My pond water nice and clear now. Wish I had know about them before.
After 18 months use, with only the filter being cleaned regularly, my UV bulb finally needs replacing. This pump is amazing & so reliable I won’t hesitate to by another when that time eventually arrives. This pump is worth 6 stars
Have had this running for past 10 days, all working good so far. Deducted one star for reliability as still too early but couldn’t be happier otherwise.
excellent product, it was straight in the pond and is already working well ,the fish are happily swimming under the fountain not having hibernated again this year which is why we are still running the pump and filter.
Up and running inside 24 hrs of receipt, seems very powerful and is already clearing the water , IF it continues , It
will be a real bargain.
Other reviews say there may be spares probs, hopefully will not need any.
I changed the pump, added all kinds of water clearing solutions, nothing.
Turned out that the new pump UV wasn’t working, and was just recirculating the green water. I Fitted the ” All Ponds Solutions ” pump and the water cleared in a week, I cleaned the foam filter after 4 days, and then again 3 days after that.
I can now see the bottom of the pond, the fish, and the pump (2 feet down !! )
As other reviewers have stated the pond water IS now crystal clear. I am very very impressed.
As an addendum to this review, the UV lamp has failed after 6 months.
Latest update, ordered new bulbs arrived next day, dismantled pump to change bulb and electrical compartment full of water.
Cleaned and dried, fitted new bulb…….Nothing, will try to contact supplier.
Buy this product. I have had pea soup pond for 4months have tried tablet cleaners barley extract, barley pouches etc etc to no avile. This has now been in my pond for 48hrs cleaned the filter as per instruction today. My pond is gin clear! See before and after photos
Brilliant compact easy to set up I set it up first in the sink a lady thing ! Very powerful fountain drowned me so I’m using dome head in my pond cleared my dirty pond in a day I would suggest two people to set up as I had to keep running up an down garden to set up fountain turning plug on an off suitable for large pond haven’t cleaned it ye
Nice pump. Bought this to replace my old pump that had finally given up the ghost. Requires only one plug socket. Easy to setup. Had it installed in no time.
Bought this pump for a new pond I was setting up and it’s been great. I’ve only has to clean the filter once in the last 2 months and the water has stayed really clear. Brilliant!
Appears to do the job, but (always a but), the guarantee is very limited, so lets hope it lasts a while. Be warned this is a heavy, large bit of kit and not suitable for a pond less than 3-4000 litres in my estimation. Also whilst it has the power to lift water the height of the fountain is only 50 cm or so .. pity as my pond is over a metre at the ” deep end “, and the tubing cannot be extended without some DIY skill.
It has taken a while to clear my pond of green algae and very fine debris but it got there in the end.
Easy to install (you need to add a plug) and then needs to be removed and cleaned about once a week until the pond clear.
A great all-in-one solution but I’ve knocked off a star as it needed a new UV bulb within a couple of weeks of purchase.
From a green pond to a clear pond !!! I do have a small pond and have found the fountain attachement quite high out of the water !!! But apart from that very good !!
I have given it a few months before writing a review but so far the pump has really cleaned pond out. it must be doing well as I now have baby fish that I can see
ok so far only downside is says suitable for small pond but the unit is really big have to clean it out quite often tho
As always easy to install.
My last one was 2 years ago but due to my handling, I broke several parts of it and it finally gave up on me.
This new one is in a better made.
Why only 4 stars? Because it didn’t come with a plug. That said, with a pond pump it isn’t a legal requirement and the type of plug you go for will depend on your set up to a degree so maybe I’m just been a bit picky.
Brilliant product , the first clean after one week the filter was heavy with silt, one week later i checked it and it was quite clean and the pond is starting to look good, so i thik the longer it goes the better it will get and i won t have to clean the filter as much maybe once a month
I am very pleased with this pump/filter. My small pond was very cloudy and the water dirty prior to installing this product. After a few days the water cleared and the fish were visible. The product was reasonably priced, easy to set up and requires only a few hours daily to keep the pond water clear.
Fab fab fab ! I have had a pond for 20 odd years and always fought a losing battle with murky green water within 3days of using this new pump I was amazed honest I can see the bottom of my pond and see my fish without standing waiting for ages on them coming to the top easy to install it really is fab buy it it worked for me
After trying 3 different systems over the past 6 years which all failed to clean the pond, I was sceptical that this one would work either but 4 weeks of use has cleaned the water perfectly, great value too
Pond was VERY mucky and it took a couple of weeks to clear totally, and pump needed a clean out after a week, but it did it and we now have a crystal clear pond. I didn't think the fountain would be much of a show from the parts supplied, how wrong can you be, it's brilliant.
All in all a good piece of gear.
I was impressed how quickly this cleared my pond water. I don’t know if the UV is working as I cannot see a light. I returned the first pump for this reason, and received a placement very quickly (excellent customer service). I still can’t see the light on the replacement pump, but it works well so I’ll live with it!
This pump is a replacement for the one in our fish pond and it’s an all in one where as our current system had a separate filter, pump and lights.
It was easy to install and fitted onto the existing piping. It started work straight away. However, it is doing such a good job we have had to clean the filters already.
I would definitely recommend.
This works as advertised ,pleased with it. It looses a star for not having a plug with a 3amp fuse.
After 12 months a replacement bulb did not work due to a fault. Seller kindly sent new parts at no cost.
Although the fountain has a two year guarantee I am very impressed by the service from All Pond Solutions.
It has adjustable flow rate and adjustable flow to the fountain head which means that it can be used on smaller ponds just fine (mine is only 500ltr)
Cleared green water in 1 day and now i can see the fish again.
This is a quality filter.
Just got this last week. Super easy to install. Just need to connect to the main. The fountain is lovely and has great power. The most important thing is that the water is really clear. For the first time I can see the bottom of the pond and the water lily basket. I can not comment on durability as I just started to use this item.
Highly recommended.
