Inpond 5-in-1 3000

Edited to explain to the complainants, why there are no plugs attached. I have copied the wording from the product information above -“No plugs are supplied with this product: In the UK it is illegal for a manufacturer to supply an indoor use 3 pin plug with an outdoor product.”All uk pond equipment suppliers have to abide by this legal requirement.This is my second purchase of the Blagden 5in1 3000. The previous one worked perfectly for over 5 years before giving up. My pond is in the sun and 1,500 litres. I have 5 goldfish over 10 inches, who gave me over 20 babies last year so the pond is now overstocked (they are all hiding under the Lilly pads). As you can see the pond is free of blanket weed and the water is clean and clear. I have added 2 of the 3 free Blagden pond pads that I found tucked inside the packaging- thank you, I’ve ordered more.This pump is very effective and efficient. It’s simple to put together and lift out for cleaning. I’m a 70 year old woman so I appreciate how easy this is to use and maintain.The price is very reasonable when compared to buying a separate filter box and pump which I’ve had in the past and this works just as well. There’s the added bonus of no leaking hoses and jubilee clips to wrestle with either. Please forgive the ugly netting, we have a very determined Heron who lives on a nearby lake but he hasn’t taken any - yet!

We've only got a small pond for our two fat gold fish. There good pumps, easy to use and maintain. This however will be our 3rd pump in 5yrs. My partner regularly cleans out the filters to ensure there's no restrictions or blockages. We might have just been unlucky with the other two. They are reasonably priced and therefore good value for money.

Completely stopped working after four months. I don't know how to ask for a replacement. My filter worked well for a few months, but has now stopped working. The water turned completely green for the last four weeks despite using blagdon pond pods in the filter. I cleaned it weekly and changed the thin filter sponge each time. I am very disappointed that this filter hasn't lasted longer. Order placed 27 April 2026

My pond is 3250 litres partial shade 1m deep with 6 small koi and a 4 goldfish and this keeps my pond clean and clear, really easy to set up aswell you just need to put your own plugs on, 5amp on the uv, 13amp on the pump, it sits well on the bottom of the pond and the fountain is long enough to go in a pond up to about 1.2m deep, only reason I've not given it 5 stars is because I have to adjusting the top of the fountain because it doesn't stay as I set it.. Love the little spotlight aswell, I've got it pointing upwards towards the fountain and it looks really nice and comes on automatically at dusk, all in all I think it was a good buy and a good cheaper way of replacing a separate pump and filter box, I'm really impressed with it

This pump came as part of a raised pond kit from Blagdon. After 18 months keeping filthy goldfish very clean, the pump died. Bought a direct replacement as it is so easy to clean and adjust. It will be interesting to see how long it lasts, but 18 months is not bad at all for the price. Easy to set up. The handle is super helpful to lift it out as it is heavy with water init. Cleaning is very easy, as is changing the UV light which needs doing annually. Do keep up with maintenance, I am rather pleased to have a second set of sponges to swap. However, leave the media alone as thats where the essential bacteria live.

I don't tend to write product reviews but I feel this pump / filter warrants an exception. I've struggled for years to maintain a healthy pond and have used a lot of the green water treatments on the market to no avail. Until now, I've only had a pump in the pond and, whilst they help with aeration and water circulation, they don't do anything in terms of cleaning the water. I'd been toying with the idea of installing an external UV filter but was put off by all the pipework, additional power requirements and all the work I'd need to do to conceal the equipment. I've watched lots of YouTube videos and people are digging holes, building waterfalls and all manner of elaborate water features. This felt like a hell of a lot of work, so when I saw this product, I was excited but, given all the fails I'd had in the past, I was also slightly skeptical. I installed the Blagdon pump 2 weeks ago and the pond water had the appearance and texture of pea soup. As you can see from my before and after shots, the difference it's made is nothing short of remarkable! I've had to take the pump out a few times to clean the filters (which were thick with silt and grime), however, even after 1 week, it was clear that the pump was doing its job. Now, 2 weeks on, I'm now looking at a perfectly clear and healthy looking pond. I can't recommend this product highly enough!

The filter is good for a short period of time. I purchased this filter in September 2024 with high hopes it would keep my 1200ltr pond with fish clean and clear. It did its job at the start, fast forward to spring this year, had to do a full pond water change as the winter had just taken hold of the pond and the water was filthy. No problem, it’s what I expected. Filter was easy to dissemble to clean thoroughly. Since doing this in April, the water has consistently been dirty and murky - no where near as clear as how the pump made it when we first got it. Decided to check the UV bulb, bulb not working. Again, no problem. Ordered a new bulb and fitted it (Blagdon brand to keep everything the same) and it didn’t work. The new bulb looked fine, I changed the fuse in the plug to no avail. It then started tripping the electrics so I suspect the entire UV unit has gone (and has been gone a while). I haven’t even had this pump 9 months and I’m already going to have to fork out for a new UV unit for it so not too happy. If this pump was much older, I’d be more understanding, but at almost 9 months old and I’m going to have to pay for a new UV unit? Wouldn’t buy again unless you want the expensive upkeep. Not great value for money.Overall, I have given this product 3 out of 5 stars as when it actually works, it is great. It’s easy to clean and not noisy in the slightest. The cables are long enough to have it at a safe distance from the water’s edge and it keeps the pond clear. However, the downside is that it requires a lot of maintenance that can be expensive and always the ‘bell’ water feature can easily get blocked up and doesn’t look as shown in photos unless with a lot of maintenance.

Wish I'd got this ages ago! Easy to install and works brilliantly to clear water. I initially spent a fortune on various products to sort murky water to no avail. Took a week or so initially for water to clear and do have to clean filters fairly frequently but to be expected with so much wildlife in pond. Fountain effect is lovely too; just right height for our pond. It's made it into such a pretty, healthy pond and light means can see so much even at night. Goldfish look great and have loads of frogs and toads laying in March & April. Lovely to go to sleep to the sound of the fountain and croaking frogs.

Es ist schon traurig,das bei so einem Betrag keine Stromstecker dabei sind

I have had this for 2 weeks and it cleared all my algae-ridden pond. I had to use algaway as well as algae blocks in addition.

I have this in a small pond for about 1 month and the uvc bulb is not working. Amazon support were very helpful and told me to order a replacement bulb and they would refund. I hope its just a once off. These UVC bulbs are supposed to last 9 -12 months.

Nice productWorks well in my backyard aquariumKeeps water rotating and my fishes look happy

We're on the 2nd one of these now after the first one died (pump) within 2 years. They are expensive and do work well at filtering out stuff but the pump longevity has me a bit worried. At least warranty seemed to cover things, so fingers crossed for the second round.
