I have the water pump "Napoli" from Esotec and am more than completely satisfied in my garden pond with this pump. So far I have, however, these operate without Teichfilter and realized this is that the algae in these summer temperatures prevailed and took thereby dampening effect strongly the water. This pond filter, however, I was able to significantly reduce the plague of algae in a natural way, because this filter system is particularly helpful for removing algae and excess nutrients from the pond. Now the water is much clearer again, the filter saves me a lot of work and both I, along with my fish, very satisfied. A purchase that has really paid off!
