Keep pond water pristine with a Laguna PowerFlo Underwater Filter.
With its powerful mechanical filtration system, the PowerFlo efficiently eliminates dirt and floating debris.
What sets it apart from other filters? Its incorporation of patented BioMax filter material. These inert ceramic rings provide a massive internal and external surface area for thriving populations of beneficial bacteria. These bacteria compete with algae for food and break down harmful toxins and the winner is your pond.
Another unique feature of the PowerFlo is its click-fit connector that allows it to be positioned anywhere for easy access and cleaning.
Includes a three-chambered underwater filter, two filter foams, two BioMax filter packs and a universal click-fit connector. 3/4", 1", or 1-1/4" outlet.
Measures 11" x 11" x 7".
For use with pumps up to 2,000 gph, sold separately.
