I have a Red Ear Slider that is about 9 inches long and 7 inches wide, I am looking at getting the Beckett 35 gal pond for, would this filter work?

I used the Tetra filter in a 20-gal tank when my yellow-bellied slider was a hatchling for about the first year, but when he got to about 8 inches I had to switch to a larger (75 gal) pond so the only thing that can handle that is the Aquaclear 70 Power Filter I now use. Much less work in keeping the water clear and he loves the swimming space.

When I bought this I hoped it would but it's really not a good filter at all. I ended up just putting it into dry reptile tank, just as a basking rock.

I have a Reeves turtle that is considerably smaller than your RES in a 50 gallon tank but filled less than 1/2 way full. This has been the only filter in the tank for almost 3 years and it works great, the water stays very clear. Do remember to change at least half the water and the filter medium at least once a week or the impeller inside the filter can become clogged.

I have 2 turtles, they're 2 years old. This filter is not enough for them, I had to add another filter.

You might be able to use it. That size turtle is a little big for that size tank. I use two of these filters both in the corners and it works fine. You could try one and see how it goes. If needed, get the second one. Personally, I don't change the filters as often as they recommend and I've been using this system for probably at least 6 years.

As a filter yes. But the design of the structure is made for being placed in a corner of a tank or aquarium. So if the pond is square then I'd say yes.

It works really well for my little turtle. I'm not sure what kind he is but he is about the size of my hand. I got him in a 15-20 gallon fish tank with about 4-5 inches of water roughly and the filter works good.

I'm not sure but I worked perfectly for our above ground pool with Hayward filter. I measured my filter out take size and looked up the replacement filter online at various pool sites to find out which filter out take could be used basted on screw hole configurations. I then found this filter on amazon, a lot cheaper than the online pool sites. I have had this one for over a year and it has worked wonderfully. It has worked much better than the original filter that came with my pool

I use it for my aquatic turtle (red eared slider) in an FX5 canister filter as the first stage filtration. I change it approx. every 2-3 months. Keep in mind I have 4 of them in there at one time in stage 1. For fish tanks, I am not sure.

It should be compatible with GPH flow,but I must warn you that the filters in this unit are very course and do not trap small particulates as promised. These filters in my opinion are not the best filter on the market and regret buying the 2 that I purchased. I am doing a completely different set up this year,finer filters and a skimmer,but I must tell you that my pond is 4200 gallons and supports 14 Koi 14" and larger. All in all I would not reccomend these filters for small or large ponds. Hope this was helpfull. Marc

My pool is similar in size. It's a custom kidney shaped pool that is about 18X36. This filter cleans it wonderfully. My pump runs 9:00 am to 9:00 pm and it works great. Look around and find a pump sizing chart and make sure your pump is matched to the filter. Love this unit. Like another poster says, about 5 years and change the sand if you backwash regularly and maintain the right water chemistry.

I would be more concerned with sizing the pond pump to correspond with the maiximum capability of the filter. You need to make sure that the maximum flow will not exceed the limits of the filter.

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.

We do not recommend this size filter for a pool of your size. Get a larger filter. 1hp pump is fine though.

I would have to refer you to Cokin as to the compatibility. The item you are inquring about is one 6' x 6' filter.

that should work really well. my pool (9x18) has a foot print of about 12x20 (that includes the pump/filter).

Make sure to check the dimensions of your existing aquarium to ensure this will fit in it, but otherwise it "should work. I'm always a fan of having a little extra filtration capacity, since if the filter is rated for 15 gallons (as this one is) that's assuming its clean and operating normally. Getting the PF25 would give you a little extra filtration and flow in your tank. Those are just my thoughts. I really liked the idea and concept of this filter and it seemed to work fine for me, I just couldn't get it to fit under my aquarium shroud, so I ended up returning and got a secondary fiter to support the primary one. UV is definitely a good thing for your aquarium though!

I don't know anything about the filter. The bag works just fine collect debris and algae. My pool is 16x35 and the dolphin works great. As long as the pool filters are running I would say you don't need the filter cartridge.

Yes, I believe this valve will work. I have a 36 series DE filter. Confirm diameter of your filter input/output. I recall the gate valve has the flow capacity. Best regards, Michael

Dont know. This filter will only work for a small pool reguardless what they claim. I finally went to a sand filter and the water is very clear and very little work to maintain it.

The filter will accept tubing up to 1.25 inch diameter. You have to buy the tubing separately and the length will depend on where the pump and filter are located in your pond. You'll need enough to go from the pump to the filter and then enough to reach from the filter to wherever the water returns to the pond at.

I use it in a 175 tub for a 10" red eared slider turtle, I works well. I use it as pre-filter and a pond 2 gallon sealed barrel bio filter as a polish filter, and a pond pump.

Hi Suzanne - that filter should be the correct one for your needs. Just to be sure, you can get the dimensions and top/bottom configurations from your old filter and match them up to the PWK30 - diameter is 5 7/8" - length is 10 1/2" - both the top and the bottom have a 1 15/16" open hole. If those match up with your old filter, then you can be sure that you are getting the right one. Spa manufacturers have changed their filter requirements through the years, so it is always a good idea to look for filters in this manner to be sure you are getting the ones that need.
