can this be used in an outside filter in a fish pond?

you could, but you would need a lot of it. and i have a suspicion that it would need to be cured pretty often in a pond. so get 2x what you need for one filter. that way you have an extra one to put in while youre recharging the other

It would depend how big the pond filter is. You could put several bags into it. This stuff is not to replace the other mediums in your filter but to be added in. I have been using it for a while now, and its great. It also can be recharged. I would think that if you use it in a pond you would probably have to rinse it out and recharge it quiet often as there would be more particles in the water.

It sure can but depending on the size of the pond, you will want more or bigger pouches.

It doesn't say that it can be used in something as a large outdoor pond. Please contact the manufacturer before you buy this product. Thank You, Shop2themax

We use ours for our pond but I should think it would work in any water. It is quite handy.

My pond is an outdoor pond. I would honestly say that the filter system is definitely sufficient. I wouldn't mind having a slightly larger one though.

Yes. I use mine around my pond in my backyard and in a flower bed in my front yard.

Not sure. We don't use it like that. We use it in our garden. You should be able to put any type of online filter on it.

Yes, this is a filter only, and the larger the pump the better it works. I am quite happy with mine, I have a 1000 gallon pond and it works very well on it.

Probably not. I don't know how many gallons my pond is, maybe 90-100. It does a good job, but when the water starts really warming up I have to clean the filter every other day. I think you need something bigger.

I have a 380 gal pond and use the 1000 fishmates filter and a 1000 gph pump. The pump is a bit overkill but the filter is fine. You should have no problem with the combo you are asking about. I would not go bigger than the 800gph pump though.

In theory, yes. I use mine as essentially a filter for my pond, and for the most part, I don't have issues with leaking. Due to some rough treatment on my part, however, it will occasionally let a sliver of water through if it's not positioned correctly. As long as you don't strip the drain plug fixture while using a socket wrench and pliars, you should be ok.

I don't think so but you can adjust the filter to a very weak current that my fish seem not to notice

I don't think that you can. I am using it in a 75 gallon tank with a fluval fx5 filter. It is not performing like I had hoped. By the way, it has a very funky smell (new out of the container too).

I would say yes you can use it outside but I would give it some shelter from the sun and rain. Also, you may have more issues with algae if the ponds gets a lot of sunshine, requiring more carbon changes

its one of those filters that "seals" off but of course pours the water out thats between the filter can and stop valve in the line... so basically, its great to have outside somewhere. I get the added privilege of cleaning small amounts of water when I unplug or drain from the bottom filter can drain valve (which is gravity feed and at the bottom of the can sideways running). The output is strong and easy drain may help prevent the pond scum blockage. no internal UV light on this filter, if you use that on the pond.

According to the instructions it is not intended for outdoor use. We purchased it to use in an outdoor pond, and wrapped the controls in a plastic bag to protect from moisture.

I would agree with Dennis. Depends on amount of fish and the filter being properly colonized with beneficial bacteria and the amount air volume available for the filter. Many factors to consider.

Your question is not real clear to me. The pond master filter will do the filtering job for a pond of 250-300 gallons. If there is a lot of sunlight on the pond you Will still have an algae problem. A ultraviolet filter not chemicals is the solution for algae.
