Will it protect my pond?

If you are asking about protecting the pond from birds it depends. If they just fly down and back up it wont. If the birds stay on the ground it will chase them away

Not happy with the product. It worked for about a week keeps stray cats out of our landscaping then it just started to squeal. Tried all the setting. Tried plugging it in. No luck. Every time it sensed movement we all could hear the awful high pitched squeal. So we gave up on it. If you live in a warmer climate where you can keep a hose hooked up, might try the motion sensors that detect the critter then squirt them. We live in Colorado, so can't try it right now, would be my choice. We have a pond as well but did not get fish since the Heron seem to defy anything when they are hungry. Good Luck!

I would not use it with the wind blowing toward the pond. Wait for an evening where a very light wind blows away from the pond.

If the debris is not too big, it would. I think it needs the water deep to create the suction. At least 2 ft deep. The pond I use it in is 2 to 3 ft deep.

Yep. I purchased a 2nd one for this year and have it running in my pond now. Works great.

it will probably work for holding the water in the pond. I used it for my basement to keep the water out and it started to lift from the pressure.

i think it will not work because the pond water will dilute it and make it useless and it will be bad for the aquatic life ,,

As long as your comfortable with the energy consumption, I personally don't think you can go overkill with filtration. I'm no pond pro though. I have had good luck with the laguna brand. Good luck with your pond. .

Not exactly. I use it as a pond for my fish and have to do weekly water changes. I will tell you that it certainly leaks, not a ton but enough that there is water outside everyday. I caulked around it though that still doesn't help much. I am going to need to find a solution before it gets too bad.

This filter is designed to be used indoors so,if you want it outdoors you have to think how to protect it from rain, sun and dust. Second. If filter is placed at the same level of pond surface or above the level of ponds surface, it wont work out becuse this device is meant to be below a tank, it uses gravity to prime, so being at the same level or above the level of water it wont suck water in. Cheers.

It will be sufficient if you have 5 or less fish, and there is not a lot of direct sunlight on the pond. My pond was full sun all afternoon and 5 fish, I needed to clean my filter more often then one a friend had in a shaded pond of 1000 gallons in the shade same number of fish.

My pond is just a little under 100 gal. it works perfectly. So the answer is no.

yes. buttttttt. i would not recommend this product. it didn't catch as much debris as i wanted even though it was rated for a large pond. it also came loose and i lost all of my pond water:( rating scale 1-5.....a "0"

Thank you. Someone said the water will leach from the pond side so I'm glad you clarified this.

We have a reasonably large pond (18' diameter) and have used it for the past year. No issues with liner, and for the first time ALL of our fish made it through the winter. We started the pond pump up again for Spring and within 3 days the water was crystal clear. This light is a life saver.

Yes, I used mine outside at Halloween, and plan to use it in my pond this summer. Check to see what the manufacturer says, but I recall it was ok outside.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to build my pond yet.... But I'm told this will work very well for a Koi pond. I hope to have mine finished this summer. My source is a gentleman that builds ponds and systems for using the ponds as a source of fertilizer for the landscaping..... Hope this helps.
