Blagdon CHI media
Blagdon CHI media is unlike any other pond filter media currently available. It comes exclusively as part of the Clean Pond Machine Filter System. The exclusive 2-in-1 CHI media functions as both mechanical and biological filtration. Unlike foams, the media will never deteriorate or need replacing and will go on effectively and consistently cleaning your pond for years to come!
Blagdon 5-in1 Clean Pond Pods – made for your Clean Pond Machine or can be used with any pond filter
5-In-1 Clean Pond Pods can be added directly into the filter pod dosing system.
Patented Blagdon Clean Pond Pods introduce bacteria and enzymes directly to the waste in the oxygen rich filter chamber, effectively reducing filter cleaning and pond sludge.
Clears blanket weed and feeds plants, reducing nitrogenous nutrients for a healthy balanced pond.
Pods also contain fast acting dechlorinator, enabling you to safely top up with tap water after cleaning.
Clean Pond Pods
Available to purchase in 3 sizes (free pods included with your Clean Pond Machine)
Due to the gentle and natural way clean pond pods work within the pond ecosystem, results will be most effective when used over a consistent period of time and are not an overnight solution. Blanketweed reduction should become apparent within a month of starting treatment.
For long-term effectiveness, usage should begin when temperatures reach 10°C – around April in the UK – and continued monthly until temperatures drop below 10°C. This dosing schedule will maintain a clean and healthy pond and reduce filter maintenance throughout the pond season.

This filter looks like good quality build, was easy to install and works well. It is easy to clean the filter and adding the cleaning pods is very easy. It takes about 5-7 days to clear the water first time, so be patient. Hopefully will last a long time.
Fantastic bit of kit. My pond has never looked so clean and the pods you add are brilliant. Kills all weed.
The cable was very generous, we have it connected to an underground junction box, that’s fed by an armoured cable, so the length wasn’t a deal breaker for us. If you’re fitting it directly to a three pin socket, you’ll need to buy the plug, as it doesn’t come with one. Otherwise, wiring was very simple.
Mine arrived with the UV casing smashed. Amazon were unable to supply a replacement but blagdon were Excellent with the customer service and sent a replacement within a few days. I have this hooked up to their amphibious pump from there range and it works a treat on our pond which has one koi ( the rest we’re eaten by a heron) and now around 20 goldfish. Powering two waterfalls and keeping the water crystal clear.
Edit: it’s now been through winter and it’s been faultless. Water is crystal clear constantly, no issues with freezing, we kept the pond fully running without issues. We are getting a bit of algae growing along the pond liner, but nothing to cause concern or ruin the looks of the pond. We have tried the little sachet tablet things that came with the filter. They seem pretty good, haven’t harmed the fish and haven’t ruined the clarity of the water, so we may look to continue to use them to keep the algae at bay.
Very happy to recommend this filter! The lack of sponges but still excellent filtering ability is worth every penny!
