A Very Good Filter
By N. Smith
I purchased two Fish Mate 1000 P (non UV) filters in 2006 for our two backyard 250 gallon koi ponds and they have been barely adequate. I also purchased two Pondlife Turbo-Twist 9 Watt Pond UV Clarifiers for controlling nuisance green algae. I also use a Danner Pondmaster PM1000 pre-filter on each pond and Danner Pondmaster Model 7 - 700 gph pump on each pond.The molded plastic ports are thinly cast and prone to distortion from required hose clamps which eventually causes associated weakening and breakage. I contacted the manufacturer, Ani Mate, to obtain a new top cover and I was informed that the non-UV model is no longer supported and no replacement lid is available. I then ordered this Beckett Filter from amazon and to my surprise it readily rendered the afflicted pond to crystal clear clarity within two days!It appears that perhaps Beckett's selection and use of 'Bio Balls' is superior to that of Pet Mate's use of volcanic lava-like rocks as a biological support medium. Regardless, I'm now definitely pleased. My only complaint would be regarding the seating of the main 'O' ring which is not set into a retaining groove to keep it's positioning stationery.FYI: The filter that I recieved was not as the one pictured above.(an older model?) There were no four set-screws used for securing the lid. A circular pressure clamp secures the lid and the ports are separately screwed onto the unit and not integral with the major body castings.

Some good, some not so good.
By Marci D.
There are some things I love about this filter. It did a really great job of cleaning up my small pond. Within a day, there was a huge improvement in the water clarity. It is easy to clean the filter inserts and the uv light is a nice addition to kill algae. Now, the not so good. I think it has a serious flaw in the design of the connection fittings. The filter didn't come with any parts to connect it with a pump. It took hours to rig something up, which in itself wouldn't be so bad. But, there is is a plastic nut that you connect to a plastic part for the intake. The threads to screw it on are so short, you can barely get a snug fit. If you bump it, it all falls out, then you have to take the whole filter all apart again, as the nut falls inside to the bottom. Without fail, this turns into a very annoying event. And, this has happened every time I go to clean the filter, or have to clear out a clogged tube. So, what should be a quick 10 minute filter clean, turns into a nearly 2 hour irritation because of the poorly designed fittings. The good features about this filter, for me, are overshadowed by its flaws. I expect the plastic threads on the fittings to soon be stripped and leaking, since they are so poorly plumbed. I hope the makers of this filter correct this problem, as otherwise it is a good filter. Honestly, though, I couldn't buy this again, or even recommend it until they make improvements to their product.

Good product
By Suzanne E
Much better design than the previous model I had! The input and output are molded into the filter rather than just attached as the previous design had been.
