Description
The PondKeeper System is a compact, complete pond filtration system for ponds up to 5,000 gallons, combining a PondKeeper pressure filter, an efficient external WonderMax pump, a media-agitation blower, and the 80-watt NishikigoiUV-H80 amalgam UV clarifier. GC Tek builds and glues the system at their facility and numbers every union, then disassembles it into labeled, pre-fitted sections and ships them in separate boxes so it travels safely by freight. Reassembly is simple: set the pieces on your pad, match the numbered unions (1 to 1, 2 to 2), hand-tighten, and connect to your pond. The plumbing work is already done for you.
Every PondKeeper System now comes standard with the NishikigoiUV-H80 Amalgam UV Clarifier, replacing the ZapTek2 units used on earlier builds.

Why the NishikigoiUV Amalgam Clarifier
Amalgam lamp technology produces far more usable UV than a conventional clarifier lamp, so the same unit clears more water in less time. The lamp runs up to roughly 13,000 hours between changes, and the housing is marine-grade 316 stainless steel built to last in a pond environment.
How It Compares
The PondKeeper is our most economical all-in-one. Keeping koi, or want more capacity? The WattMizer KoiKeeper and WattMizer PLUS systems add larger filters and higher flow.
