TetraPond 26596 Waterfall Filter, Up to 1000-Gallon,Black

Had it for about a month. No complaints or issues, seems to be doing what it’s supposed to do. Water is clear and fish & plants look happy with the water conditions.Super simple to set up. I combined mine with another out-of-pond electric filter, so the waterfall is getting pre-filtered water, which seems to be a great setup so far.

Easy to set up, durable and makes a very nice waterfall. Highly recommend for backyard streams!

Large and very sturdy.

Nice waterfall. Modified the plate that the filter sits on to allow more water to flow through the filter. As is it blocks at least 50% of the surface area of the pad. Filter media that it comes with is adequate but could be a bit better.

We bought this and a pump to make a filter and aerator for a 1000 gallon stock tank turned into a fish pond. it works great and love to listen to the waterfall noise. keeps the tank aeriated and fish use it to hide behind waterfall too, added lava rocks for filter. has to be cleaned regularly but that was to be expected as we had to keep it under a tree to keep water cool enough in summer in oklahoma.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Made for an easy set up on a small fish pond.

I purchased this Waterfall Filter for use with a Tetra Pond Debris-Handling Pump DHP3600, Ponds up to 3000 Gallons, Tetra Pond Tubing, Corrugated, 1 1/2 Inch x 20 Feet,and Tetra Pond Bio-Active Pressure Filter BP1500-UV, Ponds up to 1500 Gallons. The adapters they provided with the Waterfall were 1" and 1.25" intake adapters. I tried several things like a ton of plumbers tape and looked for connection adapters, none of them worked. Then, after some time, I eventually found that you could force/shove the 1.5" Corrugated tubing through the intake hole without any of the adapters! Now I have a nice, clean, & powerful Waterfall! No visible leaks from the tubing and intake hole. I placed some of the pond liner underneath the waterfalls and sloped it down so any leakage from the intake would flow back into the pond, just in case. My Koi are happily swimming around the pond and the water is nice & clear! And, you could also use lava rocks for the biomedia bag that they provide, it is much cheaper.

This waterfall for a pond works very well, as long as you have a sufficiently large pump capacity. It is larger than it looks, and produces a nice even fall of water. Room inside for bio-balls and other filter material. Sturdy. A good value.
