Filtration and UV in One Unit: A Guide to Sicce FILTRAPOND

Sometimes a pond just needs mechanical filtration and UV clarity without a matched pump bundled in — useful if you already have pond circulation sorted and just need the filtration side. The Sicce FILTRAPOND line combines both stages in one compact unit, across three sizes.

Why a Filter-Plus-UV Unit

Mechanical filtration alone doesn't stop green water — that takes UV sterilization to control the free-floating algae driving it. FiltraPond combines both in a single unit rather than requiring separate mechanical and UV components plumbed together.

Choosing a Size

  • FILTRAPOND 1500 — 7W UV-C — sized for small to medium ponds.
  • FILTRAPOND 3000 — 9W UV-C — steps up UV output and filtration capacity from the 1500, sized for medium ponds.
  • FILTRAPOND 4000 — 13W UV-C — the largest in the FiltraPond line, combining mechanical filtration with a 13W UV-C stage for larger ponds.

Setup Tips

  • Pair with your existing pond pump if you already have circulation covered — FiltraPond handles filtration and UV only.
  • Replace the UV bulb on schedule, since output drops before visible failure.
  • Clean mechanical media regularly, especially during heavy leaf-fall seasons.
