(More customer reviews)This is a very rip off product. It costed $10 for 10 plastic balls size of a quarter.I would not recommend any shoppers to purchase this product.I went to [...] website and purchased a box of 250 bio-balls for less than 20 bucks.I now have more than bio balls that I needed for my fish pond.If I was happened to continue buying this rip off product, I would have spent more than $250 just to get my bio filtration bin filled up with bio balls.My advice is that STAY AWAY from this.

(More customer reviews)I got a Sunterra pond filter as part of a complete pond kit. At first, I was quite happy with the filtration provided, but quickly learned that there are other issues with this filter design that make it worthless.

1) The clamps are designed to fail. There is no other way to look at it. They are attached to the filter bucket, and snap over the lid. Around the circumference of the lid is a thin O-ring gasket. This gasket is nearly impossible to keep in place as you are putting the lid over the bucket. Further, even if you do get it in place and sealed correctly, it is not likely to stay there long. The major problem is that Sunterra used cheap, thin plastics throughout this filter. When I turn the pump on, I can actually see the entire filter bucket stretch, and it rises up out of the hole in the ground about an inch. This stretching of the plastic weakens it. The clamps also stretch, and after less that one season, lost their ability to securely hold the lid in place. The result is that any time power is cut to the pump, some of the clamps will release because they don't have enough force to hold the lid down when the pump is not pushing against them. When the power is restored and the pump pressurizes the filter, it will leak profusely between the lid and bucket.

We have left home for several hours only to return and discover that our power went out for whatever reason, and when it was restored the filter leaked, resulting in a near-total drain of our pond and destruction of our pump as it ran dry. Luckily the pump was high enough off the bottom of the pond that our fish still had some water, and so survived.

2) The restricted filter indicator doesn't work, at all. I've had the filter so clogged up that water was barely coming through the filter at all, and still the red clogged-filter indicator never popped up.

3) The reverse-flow cleaning system doesn't work, at all. In order to clean the filter, you have to disassemble it and wash out the sponges with a garden hose. This is the only way to get them clean. You could run your entire pond's water supply through the filter and it would do nothing to clean it. This is nothing more than a joke.

4) The sliding selector for run or clean is also prone to leaks. The design is simply poor, but might have had a chance of working if Sunterra had not used such thin and cheap plastics.

In the end, there is no fix for this junk filter. I've contacted Sunterra and they sent me replacement clamps. Those lasted no longer than the originals. Avoid this filter, it is not worth any money or your time and frustration. If this is any indication of the quality of Sunterra products, I would avoid the company altogether. I would have rated this item at zero stars if that were available. Maybe I can make a planter out of the filter bucket- that's about all it would be good for.

As an alternative, look here: Pressurized Bio UV Pond Filter - 2000 gallon This is a quality filter that gets good reviews. You get what you pay for with Fish Mate (Animate), unlike Sunterra where you pay and get nothing.

Product Description:
A contained body of water is subject to conditions such as dirt, insects, algae and decomposed vegetation that affect the water clarity and health.A filtration system is needed to balance the ponds ecosystem.This filtration system must match both the power of the pump and the volume of the water garden. All Sunterra filters use mechanical and biological filtration.The mechanical filtration process uses foam filters to trap debris.While the biological filtration uses biological ball (bio balls), that have large surface areas used to nurture beneficial bacteria.This beneficial bacteria converts harmful pathogens into useful nitrates.Both types of filtration work together to provide a clearer and healthier pond.The Sunterra Bio-filters utilize a dual filtration system consisting of both mechanical (foam filters) and biological (bio balls) processes. UV Pond filters are for ultimate filtration performance.They combine the same features of mechanical and biological processes of other Sunterra filters and have the added benefit of ultra-violet light filtration.UV radiation eliminates the algea that survive the normal flitration process, creating a clearer and healthier water garden.This particular UV Bio Filter cleans ponds up to 2000 gallons.It is recommended for use with pumps that are capable of pumping between 1,250 to 2,000 gallons of water.

(More customer reviews)This filter box is a pre-filter that draws water through two foam pads -- a coarse filter, then a fine one -- before it is drawn into the pump.My Sunterra pump includes another filter inside a snap-on housing, so the pond has three filters in all.The box filter is effective but clogs quickly.The top is held on by four screws.To clean the foam pads, you must disassemble it. Awkward.Some kind of snap-on top would be more convenient.Also, my Sunterra pump has a threaded outlet which is designed to be used with a Sunterra diverter valve . . . more than I needed or wanted!(I have a small pond.)A trip to a hardware store yielded a few plastic plumbing coupling that allow me to snap a hose onto the outlet with a quick-release coupler . . . very convenient.
I had drained the pond and refilled it before installing the Sunterra kit.It wasn't possible to drain it entirely because of the fish, however.The filter got clogged quickly even with new, clear water -- well, clearER than it was!Yesterday I drained the pond again, more thoroughly, and decided not to use the box prefilter but just the pump with its built-in filter.I can get it out by snapping off the pump housing.If it doesn't clog for a week or so, I'll try to add the prefilter again.If it does clog, I'll just go with the built-in filter.

(More customer reviews)We did not receive the product advertised.

The advertisement states you will receive a "Frigidaire PureSourcePlus Ice & Water Filter (WFCB, 46-9906)". The product did not come in a Frigidaire PureSourcePlus package...just plastic wrap. I installed the filter and the water came out jet black. I ordered two of them so I tried the second filter, and the water was jet black again. This has never happened with Frigidaire filter.

I checked the invoice and it said they are Frigidair WFCB/RC-200 "Compatible" Replacement Regrigeragor Water Filters. If the company is selling a "compatible" filter, and not the manufacturer's filter why does the Amazon site describes and has a picture of the Frigidaire filter?

I e-mailed the company and they replied "Thank you for your order and email. From your description your new filters need to be flushed."

I ended up spending a lot more money and bought a Frigidaire filter but the water now does not taste the same.

This has been my worst online purchase experiences with Amazon.

In addition, while we did not request a refund the company subsequently wrote back and stated that they would credit our account since we were not happy with the purchase.While the company's customer service department was prompt and responsive, the Amazon website description should reflect the item being purchased in order to avoid confusion.
