Pressurized Filters

Laguna external filters provide mechanical and biological filtration and most often incorporate a UV-C lamp to keep the pond water crystal clear. External pond filters are also very easy to install and clean.

Easy to install and simple to maintain, external filters are suitable for all ponds.

The Laguna Pressure-Flo high performance pond filter is a pressurised filter, which provides the maximum in pond filtration in a compact unit that is easily hidden at the edge of your pond. External filters can be used in combination with the Max-Flo solids handling pump, correctly sized for each filter. External filters are easy to install or integrate into existing ponds.

How to Clean an External Pond Filter

Maintenance of external filters is simple and easy; seasonal cleaning and replacement of media is nearly all that is required. See specific models for complete details. Both filters are installed outside the pond, and will provide a clean and healthy pond.

Laguna Pressure Flo 1000  

High Performance Pond Filter

Item#: PT1725

The new Laguna Pressure Flo filters include a variety of improvements to simplify the maintenance process and provide more powerful filtration.  Starting with the filter handles and diverter valve, each has been re-designed and strengthened.  The cleaning handles now feature an ergonomically designed grip with re-enforced brush connections. The diverter valve has been re-shaped and enlarged to accommodate an improved cleaning indicator system and makes the patented Backwash Cleaning System easier to use.  Yearly UV bulb maintenance has been simplified by improvements to UVC-Head; the screws used to attach the head to the filter unit are permanently connected to the UVC head. No more misplacing or losing screws during maintenance.

Along with physical improvements to the filter body, the new filters also include increased filtration capabilities. The mechanical filter pads are now 10X stronger than the current pad foams to better maintain their rigid shape and performance.  The UV sterilization functionality has been increased with larger, more powerful UV bulbs. Biological filtration has been improved with the conversion to Bio-Lava rock filter media. The Bio-Lava rock provides increased surface areas which promotes the growth of healthy bacteria, resulting in cleaner healthier water (Biological filtration not included in Pressure Flo 1000 model number PT1725).

The Laguna Pressure-Flo 1000 is designed to work in tandem with a solids handling pump, such as the Laguna Max-Flo 600 Waterfall and filter pump. With the filter connected to the pump, water enters the unit through a water inlet. It then passes through the mechanical filtration stage, consisting of highly durable foam filters that intercept and trap dirt and debris.

Dirt-free water then passes along an integrated 13W UV-C lamp, where it is exposed to ultraviolet rays that inhibit the growth of algae. Finally, water returns to the pond thoroughly cleansed. This patented system is the only one of its kind. Backwash cleaning can easily and comfortably be completed in a few minutes without opening the lid. This feature ensures that the filter performs at optimal levels for many days and prolongs the time between full maintenance sessions. An easy-to-view cleaning indicator signals when it’s time to perform backwash cleaning.

The unit can be installed in or above ground.

Pressure-Flo 1000 UVC is for ponds up to 1000 gallons and comes complete with a 13-watt UV lamp and 3 filter foams.

Pressure-Flo Filter 700 UVC is an all-in-one filtering system that keeps pond water clear and healthy.

The high performance filter provides important water filtration functions that are essential for everyday pond maintenance: mechanical filtration, as well as UVC sterilization.

Pressure-Flo 700 is designed to work in tandem with a solids handling pump such as Laguna’s Max-Flo circulating pump. With the filter connected to the pump, water enters the unit through a water inlet. It then passes through the mechanical filtration stage, consisting of foam filters that intercept and trap dirt and debris.

Dirt-free water then passes along an integrated UV-C lamp, where it is exposed to ultraviolet rays that inhibit the growth of single-celled algae organisms. Water finally returns to the pond thoroughly cleansed.

Pressure-Flo features a revolutionary Backwash-Cleaning System that completely cleans the entire surface of the foam filters. This patent-pending system is the only one of its kind. Backwash cleaning can easily and comfortably be done in a few minutes without opening the lid. This feature ensures that the filter performs at optimal levels for many days and prolongs the time between full maintenance sessions. An easy-view cleaning indicator signals when it’s time to perform backwash cleaning.

The unit can be installed in or above ground.
Pressure-Flo 700 UVC is for ponds up to 700 U.S. gallons/2500 L and comes complete with an 11-watt UV lamp and filter foam.
