Edited to explain to the complainants, why there are no plugs attached. I have copied the wording from the product information above –
“No plugs are supplied with this product: In the UK it is illegal for a manufacturer to supply an indoor use 3 pin plug with an outdoor product.”
All uk pond equipment suppliers have to abide by this legal requirement.
This is my second purchase of the Blagden 5in1 3000. The previous one worked perfectly for over 5 years before giving up. My pond is in the sun and 1,500 litres. I have 5 goldfish over 10 inches, who gave me over 20 babies last year so the pond is now overstocked (they are all hiding under the Lilly pads). As you can see the pond is free of blanket weed and the water is clean and clear. I have added 2 of the 3 free Blagden pond pads that I found tucked inside the packaging- thank you, I’ve ordered more.
This pump is very effective and efficient. It’s simple to put together and lift out for cleaning. I’m a 70 year old woman so I appreciate how easy this is to use and maintain.
The price is very reasonable when compared to buying a separate filter box and pump which I’ve had in the past and this works just as well. There’s the added bonus of no leaking hoses and jubilee clips to wrestle with either. Please forgive the ugly netting, we have a very determined Heron who lives on a nearby lake but he hasn’t taken any – yet!
I don’t tend to write product reviews but I feel this pump / filter warrants an exception. I’ve struggled for years to maintain a healthy pond and have used a lot of the green water treatments on the market to no avail. Until now, I’ve only had a pump in the pond and, whilst they help with aeration and water circulation, they don’t do anything in terms of cleaning the water. I’d been toying with the idea of installing an external UV filter but was put off by all the pipework, additional power requirements and all the work I’d need to do to conceal the equipment. I’ve watched lots of YouTube videos and people are digging holes, building waterfalls and all manner of elaborate water features. This felt like a hell of a lot of work, so when I saw this product, I was excited but, given all the fails I’d had in the past, I was also slightly skeptical. I installed the Blagdon pump 2 weeks ago and the pond water had the appearance and texture of pea soup. As you can see from my before and after shots, the difference it’s made is nothing short of remarkable! I’ve had to take the pump out a few times to clean the filters (which were thick with silt and grime), however, even after 1 week, it was clear that the pump was doing its job. Now, 2 weeks on, I’m now looking at a perfectly clear and healthy looking pond. I can’t recommend this product highly enough!
Replaced another Blagdon pump which had given good service and this one is a little larger and is so far doing a much better job. Water after a couple of days is clear and staying clear. The night light is a novel idea making it possible to see the fish swimming around at night.
It is compact and really does what it says! We have a small pod but this transformed our garde
Light on it looks nice at night compact only problem it’s a 5w not a 10w
This is a replacement as the casing was broken. Replacement issued same day so no problem. Does not come with a fitted plug and instructions do not say what fuse should be in the plug. Easy to install and assemble can be used with or with the light and fountain.
Very nice pond pump / filter system. Easy to set up. Really like the light which comes on in the pond when it gets dark. Plenty of choices of fountain heads.
I moved to a house just over 2 years ago that has a pond, with a pump from the same manufacturer. You couldn’t see more than a few inches beneath the surface and the pump needed cleaning almost every week at first, then every few months, and whilst the water became clearer, after 2 years, we still couldn’t see the bottom of the pond. We replaced the old pump with this one, and within a week we could see the bottom of the pond, for the first time ever. It’s a great pump/filter, I wish I’d got one soone
What can I say. I bought blagdon because I trust the blagdon brand. It has lots of filter media in it. It is very easy to lift out of my raised patio pond due to large lifting handle plus it is easy to clean. The led light looks great when the fountain is running. Another plus for me is no more leaky pipes from pump to external filter box as it is all inside the pond.
This is probably the best product I have purchased from you absolutely briiant.
My fish have bred so the 3000 5 in 1 pump is no longer adequate for my 2500 litre pond, so I have upgraded to the 6000 5 in 1 pump. I like the product, otherwise would not have bought the same make again, but it does have some design faults.
The transformer for the uv lamp is too far away from the plug so it is difficult to disguise or house.
I have removed the light bulb to stop it shining in our bedroom window or annoying the fish during the night. It is a feature that should be switched separately, or removed in favour of a separate solar light which is what I have done.
It is best to use the largest diameter hose possible, to get enough flow to a water feature, or the pipe friction seriously reduces the flow. I am using 18mm (inside diameter) which fits straight on to the top of the pump.
I found that, in the Spring, tadpoles get tragically imbedded in the coarse filter, so I put a polymer wool filter on the top which helped.
Keeps the water clean and clear – pretty easy to clean – can adjust fountain height – comes with light- light remains on 24/7 unless you get your hand wet and cover the sensor. You need plug for filter and light- two cables come out of pump at opposite sides of unit.
The product seems to work well (although of course only time will tell), and was relatively easy to assemble. Unfortunatey I did not realise that it requires two leads and two plug sockets (one for the pump and one for the UV filter and light). As we only have one outdoor socket I had to pay another 18 for an exterior double adaptor. I found the instructions were not very helpful and had to work out much of it myself; it is also not clear in what position the handle should be left when under water.

Having tried lots of things to clear my pond without success. The Blagdon in pond has successfully cleared the water and what a difference and pleasure it gives to be able yo see clearly our fish.
Brilliant product.
Two leads one for uv one for pump easy enough To do, took a few weeks to settle in, had to clean filters every 2 weeks or so initially, doing a great job
Water clear as a bell .had clean filter sponges etc after 4 weeks
Easy to install and looks beautiful at night. . Well pleased
It was easy to install. But would of liked some plugs with it for the cos
Works well, but does not come with a handle for lifting out of the pond for cleaning purposes, which the other models (6000 & 9000) do have, hence 3 stars for ease of cleaning.
After many chemical attempts to clear the pond water I invested in this. Pictures show how much green is filtered out of the pond and in one week I can now see the bottom having not been able to for years. It’s really easy to disassemble to clean and then reassemble. Great product- worth every penny!
Great well worth the money just a shame the light don’t change colours…
You have to put your own plug on no plug provided
I cannot fault this pond pump and filter it really does keep the pond clea
Works great. Installed into a pond with a failed pump and filter, cleared the water within a couple of hours. Decent amount fo water flow from the pump.
Bought this for my brother’s pond. Easy to install if you have power handy. Came with good length of cables to connect.
This was a replacement, first one only lasted two years luckily it has three years warranty, so I will have to see how this performs.
I wish I had bought one of these a long time ago.
unfortunately had to return as it had two cables and i needed one with one cable
Easy to install, just need a plug..I noticed the difference in the pond the day after installing…after a few more days it was crystal clear, been running for a few weeks now and no issues at all. It’s nice to see my goldfish again..
It is really hard for me to lift in and out of the pond as I am elderley. I use a thick cord tied onto the handle to lower it into the pond and that enables me to be able to pull it up and out for cleaning. Its excellent for keeping the pond clear and my twelve fish are happy again!

Replacement for our old In-pond pump and filter. Original went well and easy to clean etc so hopefully this will be same. Water already far clearer, had to replace original when couldn’t get the UV light housing out to replace bulb although no problems on last change.
It started to clear the pond very quickly and easy
From past experience this product is very good however as is often the case with most pond filters just as the guarantee runs out the product dies – I had no hesitation though in replacing my broken Blagdon with a new one but unfortunately I had to return it as my fish died after horrendous weather conditions
Excellent product. Water was clear within a week. Great lighting at night. Highly recommend this
Very easy to set up, but would have been nice to have 2 UK main plugs come with it.
My pond was so green that algae was killing my fish, but within 48 hrs, this started to change. Now a couple of weeks later, the water is clear to the bottom and my fish are so much happier. Great unit, reccomend
A good effective pump (plug needs to be added) but unlike my last one, the light stays on all of the time rather than having the option of having it come on at night. Also there is no handle to take it out of the pond which is very tricky. The plastic on one of the fountain sections has already split and cannot be used and they all detach periodically as they do not fit very well. Unfortunately I cannot use the spare parts from my broken Blagdon 5 in 1 as they are different sizes.
Product seems to work well, but the instructions are minimal.
Bought as a replacement and a nice touch is the light which comes on at dusk
This pump does exactly as it says it does. Would recomend.
My small pond was green and I have 5 fish living in it. My solar panel pump was not up for the job so bought this mains pump. Within a few days the quality of the water was much cleaner. Great looking fountain v powerful. Def recommended
I wish I had bought one along time ago they are the best.
