It's a floater...

As described, no "real" issues, but it floats. I purchased to help filter before my pump (which leads to my 'real' filter and waterfall), since I've got a lot of crap that's clogging the not so large filter on my pump. Problem is that my pump usually only sits 12"-18" below the surface, so the box is floating out of the water. Even though the pump is weighted, between the flexible tubing connecting it, part of the filter was floating above the surface. I had to move my pump to a deeper section of my pond, and I'm a bit worried about this situation, as it did float up the first night and was just sucking air. I'm thinking of adding some rocks to the bottom to keep it from rising. I'll make it work, and I wouldn't NOT recommend based on this, but just an FYI...I'm also not sure my use case is 100% intended, but that's what I'm doing!

AS DESCRIBED, AS EXPECTED. This is a Filter Box only

So I've had this Filter Box in use for the past 5 months. No issues, No problems. Works great. Now ordering a second due to an additional pond project in the works. Having seen several negative reviews recently dated stating "false advertisement" or "no filter included", I had the need to set this product straight. This titled item clearly says, "Submersible Flat Box Filter" so I"m not sure where buyers are confused about a missing filter? I have my product instructions, as one recent reviewer referenced with his negative "false advertising" video...and yes the instructions clearly show HOW TO SET UP this filter box WITH a TETRA filter. NO, it does not say "filter included". As the product details also show and state, what additional pieces are needed for this FILTER BOX operation, I just don't see how buyers are confused. The Tetra filter noted in the set up instructions, is NOT a filter requirement for this box, only a suggestion. As for the FILTER BOX, this item was received and functions as described. It's a two piece plastic box; slotted-holes lid and non slotted bottom tray, which incases a textured rough "green scrubby" type of filter screen that lays inside this box. That's it. Yes I found and was aware from my research, that this filter box lid will have a tendency to lift off, due to it's light weight. And as others noted, just place a rock/brick on top of the lid to weigh it down. I did choose the smallest and heaviest sized rock available to minimize the filter vent coverage which the rock will prevent particulates from passing through to the inside of the box. As long as you don't cover more than half the lid openings, your filter should operate as described. This FILTER BOX has been very effective in collecting the water debris inside the filter screen and also has protected my water filter - bought separately - from getting clogged. Maintenance and cleaning of this box is simple. Detach the outlet hose from the box. Remove the box entirely, remove the filter screen, rinse and scrub box as needed for algae removal. Reassemble. Replace box and screen and reattach the filter hose/line to restart the suction. *Add heavy object rock/decor/flower pot to top of box to secure lid in place from lifting off. Also, best to turn off the water pump while performing this maintenance so as to avoid unfiltered/unscreened water being sucked through your water pump and lines. Would I recommend this product? *Yes. This is a simple easy Filter Box set up for your small pond and is effective when used and cleaned correctly. *However, it can also be a great DIY reference/example to make-your-own version, if you are the DIY type. I personally didn't have the time to seek out the materials and opt for this kit with all the parts needed to get this going within 10 minutes of delivery. For reference; I have a 220 gallon metal water trough and using this Filter Box inside it. My trough is a small fish pond with plants. My research did find horse owners using this Filter Box in their water troughs to help keep the drinking water debris free. I don't see why this wouldn't work for that purpose also. No chemicals are required with this box use. Just keep in mind that this Filter Box will require a water pump no matter how you intend to use this Box - so that water is sucked through the Box, through the filter screen and emits debris- free water through the pump. Hope this helps and clarifies this product, it's use and what comes with it.

Needs to have extra weight

Clips not very solid will not stay down without extra weight and seems to be for one type of pump so I had to adapt pump to fit

regular

cierra con clip de ajuste del mismo plastico, en si llego con una pestaña rota, aun asi no sella al 100 como para filtrar de manera adecuada, realmente esta mal diseñada, pero puede funcionar para recoger algo de basura de tu estanque...

Works!

Added pea gravel to weight it down and to give a medium for bacteria to help maintain pond. Easy to install and clean out.

Mi estanque de interior se mantiene limpio y con el agua transparente

Me gusto mucho este filtro por su sencillez y la facilidad para ponerlo y ocultarlo en el estanque ademas de mantener a mi bomba libre de basura. simplemente conectar a la entrada de tu bomba y ya estaba funcionando. El único inconveniente es que la bomba tiene que tener una manera de conectarse con el filtro via manguera por lo cual no funciona con todas las bombas sumergibles.
