Complete solar pond filter kit with 700 LPH pump, 20-litre filter bucket and 12W solar panel. Everything you need to keep small ponds clear – no mains power, no running costs. Optional UV clarifier available to kill green algae.
Complete kit – pump, filter bucket, solar panel, fountain heads
20-litre filter bucket – 3x larger than standard eco filters
A complete solar pond filter kit with everything you need to keep small to medium ponds clear – no mains electricity, no running costs. The 20-litre filter bucket houses the pump inside, drawing water through the filter media and pumping it back out as a fountain or through tubing. Add the optional UV clarifier to kill green algae for even clearer water.

Unlike smaller 6.5L or 10L filter boxes, this 20-litre bucket gives the pump room to breathe and provides three times the filtration volume. The larger surface area means less frequent cleaning and better water quality, especially in ponds with fish.
How the Kit Works
Filtration
The solar pump sits inside the 20-litre filter bucket, surrounded by filter media. As the pump draws water in, it passes through the filter pads and media bags – trapping debris, sediment and biological waste before the water reaches the pump.
20L bucket – 3x the volume of standard eco filters
Filter pads for mechanical filtration
2 mesh bags for biological media (zeolite, bio-balls etc.)
Pump protected from debris inside the bucket
Solar Power
The 12W solar panel powers the pump directly – no batteries needed for basic operation. Position the panel in a sunny spot and the pump runs automatically during daylight hours.
12W solar panel with ground spike
700 LPH flow rate
Up to 1.2m spray height for fountain displays
5m cable between panel and pump
Multiple fountain heads included
Optional: Add UV Clarification
Green water is caused by microscopic algae that mechanical filtration alone cannot remove. Adding the optional 5W UV clarifier kills green algae, bacteria and viruses as water flows through – clearing green water at the source.
5W LED UVC clarifier connects inline on the pump outlet
Water flows: pond → through filter bucket → pump → UV clarifier → back to pond
Kills green algae, harmful bacteria and viruses
Results typically visible within 1–2 weeks
Requires a 12V battery backup to power the UV lamp (sold separately)
How UV Connects to This Kit
Instead of a fountain head, connect tubing to the pump outlet
Run tubing from pump to one barb on the UV clarifier
Second barb returns water to the pond
UV power cable plugs into the light output on a 12V battery box
Battery box connects to the solar panel
