Product Description
The Pondmaster 1250 Garden Pond Filter System creates an exotic atmosphere while providing ease of use and reliability for ponds up to 600 gallons. The Pondmaster 1250 Filter System combines an easy-to-use, fully submersible, mechanical filter with a high-tech, fully submersible Magnetic Drive water pump. The system includes a Pondmaster 1000 Filter complete with polyester and carbon filter media, a Magnetic Drive Pump with a 7 foot maximum height and a flow rate of 250 GPH, two free fountain heads, 3/4" vinyl tubing and all connectors. The Pondmaster 1250 features a sturdy handle that allows the filter to be placed where it is needed. A cord can be tied onto the handle to help retrieve the filter from the deepest point of the pond. The system's modular design allows more filter units to be added to the basic system to accommodate large ponds. The compact, powerful Magnetic Drive Pump is used to draw water through the filter. This energy efficient design uses one moving part. The water is drawn into a thick layer of coarse material which traps large debris from the pond water. A second layer of finer, carbon-impregnated material further purifies the pond water as it passes through. The dual filter elements offer particle filtering and chemical filtration of certain harmful compounds and unwanted colors.Size:Filter: 12" long x 12" wide x 3 1/2" highPump: 4" long x 4" wide x 4" highHose: 12" longFountain Hose (2): 8 1/2" longBell Fountain Head: 2 1/4" diameter x 5 1/2" longAdjustable Fountain Head: 1 3/4" diameter x 1 1/2" long

Keeps on pumpin' November 17, 2006

We have 2 of these filter/pumps - one rated at 500 gph and one rated at 250 gph. We use the smaller one for the waterfall in our pond and the larger pump is used as an aerator, water cleaner, etc. They come with 2 sections of tubing for extra height should it be needed and 2 fountain heads. We run the larger pump without a head on it for maximum flow.
One minor problem is that if you don't weight the thing down, it will eventually float. That problem is solved (as per the instructions) by taking the filter section apart and putting in some small stones. We used some flat stones in each of the 4 corners of the filter box and have not had a problem.
The filter box is easy to unhook from the pump and the filter media are easy to clean out and are reusable. We just hose the filters off. You can leave the pump in the water while you're working on the filter box. When you unhook the filter box from the pump, be sure to unplug the pump. That way there's no problem with fish getting sucked into the intake. We've never even had a close call, but if you have small fish and they get too close to the intake, they might get sucked in.
We run these filter/pumps 24/7 and plan to run the larger one all winter.
UPDATE: June 18, 2009 - see my review on a smaller version of this pump Pondmaster 02215 500 GPH Pond Pump. We are buying another set of filter media as the current sets are finally wearing out. We run both pumps 24/7/365 with no problems.

Pond was clouding slightly. This was easy to install and run. Cleaned filter each day first few days, amazing how much gets filtered out! Pond is now so clear. Empty filter each weekend. GREAT buy!
Great Solution For Basic Pond Setup September 15, 2009

Had a ~200 gallon pond setup without filtration and exposed to sunlight a little over 6 hours that was growing algae like crazy. Suspended algae particles clouded view of inhabitants of the pond. Despite frequent water changes, algae continued to plague the pond.
Initial desire was to buy the 190GPH model, but after looking at the 250GPH model, the 250GPH model appeared to be a better purchase. The design is modular so it is possible to add additional filter box in line with the basic setup. Also, it is better to have a stronger pump which can also later help to pull water for ornamental fountains.
Was afraid filter would be insufficient to address algae problem and feared UV filter might also be needed. However, after running filter for ~1 week, algae problem was under control and eventually eradicated.
cleaned my pond up very well :) May 29, 2008

This is a good filter the only problem is the ad said it had a 18 foot cord when it's more like 10 feet.
 Perfect fit for a small water feature July 4, 2007

This system has been a perfect fit for my small backyard pond. The installation process could not have been easier. Once in place, the pump and filter have kept the water moving and clear. Cleaning the filter is a simple, easy process as well with necessary parts in an accessible and functional location.
