Awesome. For my small pond. After about a week water is now crystal clear. Easy to pull out once a week and quickly clean the top and sponges. Place back and it’s back to normal. I wasn’t expecting this to be so good. Pond was green and hard to see anything before. Now can see the bottom perfectly.
I have owned this a month now and the filter is quite good. I wouldn’t say it has made my water crystall clear but it’s an improvement on my last pump and every pond is different. The only issue I have had is that the LED sensor is a bit hit and miss which leads to the light intermittently flashing at night.
You will need two plugs as the pump and UV run on different leads.
This is the second time I’ve brought this pump I’ve two ponds and it works very well I do run them through a secondary filter but you don’t need to, when you think it filters runs through an ultra violet to help control blanket weed and can be a fountain as well as I do run to second filter, they are well worth the money
Very impressed and easy to set up easy-to-use easy to clean deafly recommend
I like blah don’t I’ve used their filters and pumps for years
I’ve built myself a new 1000 litre raised pond to a depth of 3 foot and needed a new pump/ filter so opted for this bad boy and it doesn’t disappoint!
offers everything you need all in one set up and is really easy to install, I highly recommend buying the POWERSAFE SWITCHBOX to go with it.
LED light is bright at night and can be set to be on all day if needed.
The filter removes so much debris as I conducted a test with some organic matter.
Came with an spare filter and some treatment for the pond which was a nice bonus.
Also has UV Bulb to keep the water clear and a variety of heads to give the pond a nice view when in the garden. Comes with 3 different hose adapters so you can run a water feature too (6000/9000)
Fantastic product. Everything about it is easy, cleaning is simple, installation no problem and as it is all under water the surrounding area looks tidy. After years of pond keeping I wish I found this ages ago
I love this filter. Made my pond crystal in just a few days. It’s only been installed perhaps three weeks, and I can see every stone clearly at the bottom of my 6′ x 6′, 2 1/2′ deep pond. It was simple to put together, and appears to be easily cleaned, compared to my fish tank filters. The light illuminates my full pond and there’s not much electricity used either which is always a bonus. As powerful as I need it to be. Only your imagination will limit in what you can achieve with the outlet flow, or just have it on fountain mode. Not my thing, I like waterfalls and so do my fish.
I’ll be definitely buying another for my waterfall/river into nature pond.
Very pleased with the pump,works very well fish are happy too.thanks to every one for a very good purchase
The joint between pump and filters is thin plastic and brakes to easy
Comes in a big box with loads of attachments. The pump has it’s own power cord and the base unit for the UV has it’s own powercord. Both need to be fitted to a plug and the plugs aren’t supplied, so I took a plug off my old pump and found another to use as well. Unit is quite big and bulky but not too bad to clean, though will have to replace the material inside once in a while, they say monthly. I’ve had it running for a few weeks now and it’s been good, will need to clean it out shortly, so it will be high maintenance, but it’s on the cheap end for an all in one.
Easy to install, quality product and is looks amazing, highly recommended.
I can not be more happier, it is easy to install, great quality and it looks stunning, highly recommended.
I liked the pump very much, but it has stopped working and I have been told by the manufacturer to return the item to the seller ( amazon) can someone please help with how to return.
Kind regards. Richard.
I have the pond in my fish pond and it works very well with the water depth 600mm
Pump and filter worked immediately. Light took time to settle down and first couple of days/nights went on/off intermittently. Slightly concerned after following up reviews on Amazon where people appeared to have a persistent issue with the light but in our case from day/night 3 cycle onwards the light has worked absolutely fine. Very pleased with purchase – recommend.
Good strong pump really nice at night with the light keeps water very clean.
This is a great pump as it does everything without having to buy separate filters or UV lights.
It does what it says on the box
It is easy to clean,
It would just be nice if they supplied a few extra fibre filters
We were into a third summer of a pond badly contaminated with green algae after the previous twenty two years without a problem. We think the algae was introduced with a dodgy bag of aquatic compost. The pump we were using at the time couldn’t clear it and a larger pump also was unable to clear it. We purchased the Blagdon 5 in 1 6000 in a state of desparation. Reviews that we had read led us to believe that we may have to persevere for a month to get appreciable results. We are now at six weeks and our pond is completely clear and we can see the bottom of the pond which is 24 inches deep. We have had to clean the filters twice per week and they are still filling up with brown silt which I suspect is from the bottom of the pond although we try to dredge it frequently. The cleaning is straightforward once the pump is out although it’s rather heavy to remove and by leaving on the switch for the UV light we are able to check on the bulb with each clean as the inspection cover is in the filter case. This is without doubt the best designed pump we have had, is easy to clean and appears robust in construction. Time will tell on its longevity but I have confidence that, with good maintenance we should get years of service out of it.
The pump quickly cleared the pond. The filter is easy to clean and the only down is the light can not be switched off.
Had this previously worked for 12 yrs was cheaper to replace parts
The Blagdon 6000 was a purchase for my parents pond to make cleaning easier. We found watching the online video’s useful before Installation. Also some DIY electrical knowledge useful. We didn’t find any information about fuse amp size so we played safe with a 3amp initially to see how it goes.
So far highly delighted with the 5 in 1 will review again after our first attempt with cleaning the system!
Thanks
Absolutely no issues with the working of the pump & filter once I had completed some DIY.
I was not expecting to open a sealed box to find that the UV contact chamber (item 9 in the manual) and the locking nut on the connecting pipe had not been fitted in the filter body (item 14) thereby leaving the quartz sleeve exposed. Presumably, the unit had not been checked prior to sealing the box.
Failed on me once.. but within an hour after dismantling it and checking everything it started without doing anything to it..
Excellent as a pond filter or low powered fountain. Too low powered for a waterfall.
It has cleaned up my murky pond and runs 24/7. It will be interesting to see how long it continues. I clean it once a week though that should reduce as it continues toclean.
Already had one did a great job. The uv bulb died after 2 years .. so needed new bulb filter materials etc .. decided best to buy another and mix and match parts rather than unistalling old and installing new.
Works great, I upgraded from the 3000 to this ,huge different, easy to clea
I have a 2m x 2 m x 1m deep pond and despite using all sorts of cleaning chemicals the water still remained green and the fish invisible.
After suffering this for 22 years I decided to buy the blagdon 5 in 1 6000 model
Wow this is the best decision I have ever made the water is now crystal clear so much so I can see every tiny bit of shingle on the bottom of my pond and my beautiful fish of course.
I clean the 3 stage filter system every 5-6 days depending on the amount of sunshine we have had, it’s a minor job that takes 20-30 minutes but it’s well worth it as you will see by the amount of “muddy” deposits it collects. I’m 13 months into using the pump and have never regretted buying it, just remember to change the uv lamp every season to keep the pond in tip top condition.
This cleared my pond. I kid you not as a newbie. I was lost at why my beautiful 1.2 by 1 metre pond was ugly and green and stinking. This contraption, was easy to put together, easy to clean and really does let you see the bottom of the pond. I only wish I got it on day one, instead of smaller ones. My stones would be sparkling, like a stream. You live and learn. Take heed fellow nature lovers. This one did the job.
Good all in one filter that keeps the pond clean easy cleaning A mason were the best on price for this item.
Works great in our half hexagon patio pond and the light on a night is a great extra feature.
This pump is easy to assemble and does a great job and the light in the evening looks wonderful
Unbelievable. Our pond was green and in 2 days is now crystal clear! Now building a second pond and will definitely be buying a second one. Amazing value.
Had a better deal on the next size up. I recommend you size up, this is way over the top fo a 500 ltr (small) pond on paper. In reality its about right, sensible fountain. Good water movement but no rush. Flow can be managed also.
Ponds clear, everything looks happy. The wires are long, as it happens PERFECT length to go through a hole in my garrage wall and not present ip enclosure issue. Its easy to clean and needs sensible cleaning intervals. The night light cant be put on a separate timer circuit which id have preferred. Only way to turn bright night light off os remove bulb!
Really easy to set up, good length of cable, the pond light comes on automatically when it’s dark and looks grea
Easy to install and maintain product still doing a job 2 years later. To be honest I haven’t cleaned it as often as I should either. Had to replace uv bulb after2 years that’s why I give 4 stars because 3 year warranty implies to me that it should last at least 3. Saw a lot of bad reviews here and thought I would write this to give balance
We had a natural pond for all of 2 weeks but it soon looked green and we couldn’t see the fish we purchased. so we decided to remove that pond and replace it with a new one. we purchased this product and are happy to say that the product is fantastic..its easy to clean and the 3 different types of water features looks amazing especially with the light..the bubble feature we like best as on an evening the reflection of the light looks like there is electricity volts running through the water feature its quite mesmerising to watch..the fish we can see very clearly now…we can actually put the water in a glass and its crystal clear..its easy to set up and install, point to consider you need two outdoor plug sockets. which we already had. we have had this product 3 weeks now , so far so good.
Bought this product based on reviews expecting big things and I can’t believe the difference it’s made to my pond. The water is crystal clear and I can see right to the bottom of my 750l pond. I bought an oversized filter the 6000 for efficiency and easy maintence.

Brilliant I can see my fish . My pond is crystal clear well worth the money I can see to the bottom I love it when something comes righ
This was the same as the one I’ve replaced in the pond which served our fish well over five seasons.
We had it assembled and installed within an hour, and having had loads of different pumps over the decades I consider it the best for my pond and the fish are having a ball!!
Very good this being our 3rd one in 7yrs. Just hoping this one lasts more than 18mths this time. Find transformer packs up. All in one which is a bonus. Lovely on our 400lt pond
Everything was better than I expected Easey to clean and very Easey to assemble
Works well, keeps water very clean, light works well and the fountains are nice too!
Not had to clean it yet but you can tell it’s easy when putting together.
It’s also real nice nearly everything is in 1 piece of kit!
Took it out of packaging just now to set up in pond and NO PLUGS. What a pain as I now have to buy plugs and fit. For the money I paid I expected it to come ready to fit!
bought this to replace the smaller one which was recommended for my size pond. It has been an excellent swap as my pond is clear and hasn’t been like that for a while. Had to clean smaller filter every week but haven’t needed to clean since I bought it. Will have to do within the next month ready for the spring summer months. Very easy to set up too. Very pleased with it. Good product.
This is the best. I have a similar model in my other pond that’s about 20 years old. Never failed.
DO NOT EVEN CONSIDER ANYTHING FROM ALL POND SOLUTIONS – utter rubbish
Disappointed that my pond is still not crystal clear as advertised, has now been installed for 4 weeks.
The pump cleared the pond completely in a couple of days so we can now see our fish. The pump is easy to clean out using pond/rain water. The light can be set to just come on a night, there is a little flap which can be positioned over the sensor which the instruction book does explain very well.
Highly recommend this pump
Very happy with this purchase, cleared our pond water & it has remained beautifully clean. Quick and easy to clean when required. Would recommend
Simple to set up and works well
Pump cable plenty long enough but the UV cable is a bit short
UV lamp that came with it didn’t work so purchased another now works well
Extremely impressed.
Great for a medium sized pond. The light is very effective at night. Could do a waterfall if i wanted one.
Excellent pump and filter. Lovely addition of the light. Have bought ones at half this price but nowhere near the quality
Excellent filter and pump.
Pond was clear in about 4
days after twice cleaning filter.Now 2 weeks since filter was cleaned pond still clear.
Easy install and works very good, really nice at night to see the fountain lit up by the spot light, easy to access for cleaning
We were recommended this by a family member. It has done a fab job sorting out our dull pond into a lovely clear one. We would recommend it.
The water had turned green in my pond by the time I installed the pump. It was clear within days. The light lights up the bridge over my pond as well as the fountain and looks quite spectacular. It also gives a good flow to my waterfall. The fish also seem very pleased with it!
Great a keeping crystal clear water in affinity tank I have 3 fish in my half moon tank Filters need cleaned roughly every fortnight Had to buy this to replace previous same pump which had lasted several years You have to buy the whole unit though as the pump is not available seperately
Cleaned up my water a treat but the instructions are not great. A lot of guess work which was concerning when electrics and water are concerned
only 4/5 stars lost a point due to the fact the the led light dues not turn off automatically as advertised.contacted blagdon about this & they replied that it was a printing mistake on box. so for this model the led do not turn off automatically etc.so I’ve removed led which is easy enough to do to reduce running costs etc
comes with two plugs , 1 for the led/pump the other for the uv filter. so if you choose u can switch off the uv filter if you want when pond water has cleared again reducing running cost. overall very happy y with this good product whiz has stepped up to the mark clearing my pond & i can now actually see my fish.
The two pictures were taken 4 days apart. I can finally see my fish!
Highly recommended!
We purchased this pump and have to say delivery was very quick, We installed the pump and within two days the pond was clear and looks lovely with the light on showing off the water fountain.
We are very pleased with the product and it does exactly what it says on the box.
Another Happy Custome
Edit after just over 2 years the pump has died. Although covered by a 3 year manufacturer’s warranty, it is impossible to get through to Amazon to arrange a repair! No longer the 0800 phone and only circular menu options. This has made my perception of and probable future dealings with Amazon take a tumble. Leaving the stars as, otherwise, it’s a great pump
Be cautious.
Excellent pump .
Thank goodness well made good quality pump The light is fabulous the filter easy to clean and get to.
I am a very Happy chappie don’t hesitate to buy this pump.
Product was received in good condition and on time. Had problems with the instructions for assembling the pump.as I found them a bit vague. I have not completed the installation but am sure it will perform well.
Bought this based on the good reviews and have not been disappointed. Looks lovely and has been reliable (at time of writing a few months into use.) Helping to stop my pond freeze over. The light at night is pretty although I’m not sure if it’s keeping the fish awake? Love the choice of fountains.
1. please keep in mind that the volume rating of 6000Liters is for clear pond w/o ANY fish and without any overhanging trees.
I’m using it in 1300L pond with 4 goldfish and some water lilies and this filter needs cleaning on a monthly basis.
2. The pump component requires 12V AC 50Hz (~2.5 Amp), so if you want to run it of a 100-200W solar panel, than an low voltage DC->50Hz AC converter would be required. (also UV component requires mains AC).
3. The water dome fountain feature can get blocked quite easily – better run it with water spitting frog 🙂
PS: get yourself an external filter with separate pump if your pond is over 1000L with some fish near a tree.
Bought this pump for my very small pond which continually required cleaning out due to the green algae which formed. Within one week of running the pump, the pond is now clean and the water is clear and the Fish appear happier than ever before. I’m not a wizard with these things but it only took 5 minutes to assemble and insert into the pond. Have cleaned the filters out – a 5 minutes job. It took me longer to work out how to fit the Fountain attachments and extension pipe than anything else. Great product and would highly recommend for anyone with a small (ish) pond. The night sensor light lights up the pond a treat too. Buy one and you will not be disappointed, so long as you chose the right one for the size of your pond.
Good sturdy product. Does exactly what it says.
Only problem was that the screw thread on one of the tube fittings for the fountain was very difficult to tighten. I thought I was actually going to break the tube. That said, I have no intention of unscrewing it at all now!
Excellent product so far. Have it in about three weeks now. Lovely the way it lights up at night. Early days yet but I am very pleased with it. Update April 2019, both the UV light and the LED light have stopped working replaced both and they are still not working which points to a faulty unit. Contacted Amazon but they have refused to do anything even thought there is a three year manufacturer warranty. They more or less fobbed me off and told me to contact Blagdon. Not impressed by their attitude. Blagdon responded and informed that Amazon should replace the item. Contacted Amazon again and they now state that their warranty is only two years despite saying three in the advertisement of the product. Again they were very unhelpful very unprofessional on their side
Nice and compact. I like the design and the way it’s easy to pull out of the water to clean the filters etc.
The two cables seem a bit clunky, but I understand the reasons. One low wattage one for the pump and LED light. Another mains cable for the UV light which is hopefully doing its job of killing off some algae, (or some other green nasties). Would have been nice if the cables could have been combined in some safe way with the transformer still outside the pond.
One weird thing though – occasionally it starts to float on one side causing the fountain to spray water at an angle – sometimes over the edge of my raised pond. I guess there must be a build-up of gas somewhere, (we all suffer from that), but this is easily remedied by placing a brick on the unit to hold it down.
All in all though, I love the fact that it does its primary job well, and the fountain nozzles don’t get blocked.
Oh, being really fussy I’d like a separate “off” switch for the LED light. My model has only “on” and “auto”(which switches it on in low daylight). It seems wasteful having it on during the whole night when the daylight detector switches it on. I know I can remove the bulb but you don’t want to have to do that each evening.
First Class really does the job. Written instructions for setting up could be a little clearer (ie unscrew the ultra lamp unit in order to screw pipe into side of unit.
Bought as a direct replacement for one that failed – was cheaper to buy this unit than the parts!
Works well for a small pond and the UV filter keeps the water clear (although the bulb supplied didn’t work)
Easy to change the filter and low maintenance make this a great little pump and filter combo for a good price.
Recommended
he smaller version should have been suitable but needed cleaning twice a week, even this bigger one needs cleaning more often then it should, i believe the pumps are not powerful enough.
I have a tiny little pond and tried many brands of pump/filter. This is the best so far. Been using for over a month now and pump flow still going strong. Not had to clean filter yet. Water is crystal clear. With previous pumps, I’d be cleaning every other day in the summer! Well worth the money
Worked straight out of the box although I did give it a wash down first to make sure no manufacturing chemicals remained. The different IP ratings on the power supply’s and the provided cable lengths do mean you cant locate the supply’s together unless you coil up some of the cable or cut them to length (supplied connectors are moulded.. Dooh!). So, be aware that you may need to make compromises as to the placement of these or purchase connectors.
long last we have my pond problems sorted water now lovely and clean I had tried all sorts before even to empty pond wash out and start again all that hard work and this all in one as give me back some quality time for me
This is by far the best ever pond pump that i have used. In just over a week the pond water is clear. I have yet needed to clean the pump itself which is pretty impressive when you think of the state of the pond. BUT, beware. It has 2 plugs which are not included. I happened to have an electrician on site when the pump arrived. Otherwise I would have had to send it back. For this reason I should really only give it 3 stars, but it is such a fantastic water feature that i just could not bring myself to penalise it because of the incompetence of those who do not give clear info and do not add 2 plugs.
occasional basis in the future. the only downside is that to stop the whole pump floating to the surface we needed to lay a small paving slab on the bottom of the pond and hold the pump down with a bungee strap
Bought this all in one pummelling
Please
Bought this item for a new above ground pond which had turned very murky after a few days did not have too much confidence in it though it had some good reviews. Had to remove and clean the filters several times but it certainly did the job.A very good buy.
Pump was delivered with a broken handle but I managed to repair because I desperately needed oxygen. still working but difficult to lift in or out of pond.
Highly recommend this product to anyone who has a small shallow pond with green water problems-it’s a miracle cure.
Took almost a month to clear our totally clogged and lifeless pond. However it did it and we discovered we still had a large carp alive, if rather ‘visually confused’, living there in!
This is our second pump. it is absolutely brilliant keeping our pond crystal clear, weed free. Only thing is there is no option to turn the spot light off in the evening that comes on when it goes dark… although we are use to it now it is quite fun watching our shubumbkins and stickle back shapes in the water and added bonus the light attracts the midges which in turn feed the fish.
