Please review the list below. If you click the appropriate filter link you will be taken to a detailed page showing all the models available for that range along with important performance details. The range includes:

Bioforce filtersHozelock Cyprio Bioforce pressurized pond filters
These pressurized Hozelock pond filters from a leader in water gardening, Hozelock Cyprio, make hiding a filter a lot easier than when a box type gravity filter is used.
This range does not include an UVC clarifier. Cleaning of these filters is made easy by the design of the lid. Inside the filter casing is a series of open-celled foams to collect debris and add filtration surface on which bacteria grow. Sitting below the foam is the biomedia.
Bioforce UVC ComboHozelock Cyprio Bioforce pressurized pond filters including UVC
These top selling pressurized Hozelock pond filters with UVC ensure a pond is kept clean and clear all year round. Compact design and the fact they can be buried or placed remote from the pond make hiding a filter a lot easier.
An UVC or Ultra Violet Clarifier is important if a pond is stocked with fish especially in warm sunny weather. Under these conditions algae growth can be significant resulting in green or brown murky water. The UVC (sometimes also called a UV sterilizer) is designed to kill the offending suspended algae thus ensuring clear water.
Green machineHozelock Cyprio Bioforce gravity (Green Machine) pond filters excluding UVC
Hozelock Cyprio gravity flow filters go by the brand name "Green Machine" . They do an excellent job of purifying pond water but the absence of an UVC which can be bought separately means they do not control algae blooms.
This type of filter has fallen out of fashion in recent years with pressurized filters having come to the fore. The disadvantage of gravity filters is that they are bulky and difficult to hide since they have to be close to the pond or waterfall because there is only gravity to allow the water to fall back into the pond.
Fishmate filtersFishMate gravity flow pond filters excluding UVC
FishMate also known as Animate pond filters have been sold for many years and are well established and noted for good biofiltration performance on various sized ponds. One of the significant advantages of FishMate filters either gravity or pressurized is that they contain what is probably the best filter biomedia available. The name of this filter media is Supra in USA and Alfagrog in the Uk.
Oase FiltoclearOase Filtoclear Pressurized Pond Filters Including UVC
Oase is the world leader when it comes to ponds and water gardening equipment. The products are made in Germany to exacting performance standards. These Filtoclear filters have an UVC built in for a clear water guarantee. UV stands for ultra violet light and this light when exposed to algae circulating in the pond water is killed. Once dead the algae clumps together and is able to be removed in the filter
Oase BiotecOase Biotec gravity flow pond filters excluding UVC
There are 3 Biotec gravity flow pond filters in the range catering for ponds from 2200 gallons up to 13000 gallons. These filters like most box-type gravity pond filters suffer from the problem of hiding them.
They are quite large in size. They work extremely well in purifying pond water but the drawback of the bulkiness of the containing box means people are going more over to pressurised filters.
