How To Make A Solar Powered Wildlife Pond Filter

Date: 28/06/2022

As promised this is a video showing how the solar powered pond filter is made and the parts list can be found below.
Solar powered water pump (Ebay): https://ebay.us/U7ofCD
Solar powered water pump (Amazon): https://geni.us/M22pjdB
Better version of the Solar Pump on Amazon: https://geni.us/jdKjbr
The pump is the 200 lph / 1.5W version.
Foams, Biogravel and mesh bags: http://www.filterpro.co.uk
I used 1.5kg Biogravel split between 2 mesh bags.
Foams and fine pad would be a set of coarse, medium and fine if bought from FilterPro (Foams page) but they're available all over  the internet and from any good pond supplies shop.
4" drainage pipe (any pipe of similar diameter will do)
Decent alternative media would be either the 25mm Alfagrog: https://geni.us/kTwG
or Eheim Substrat Pro: https://geni.us/98euQaB as the Alfagrog works very well in muck and the Substrat Pro is as close as possible to Biogravel.

For a normal wildlife pond it will be fine to have the filter on the bottom of the pond, outlet pointed up, but I used steel 'S' hooks and paracord to suspend the filter about 6" up from the bottom of the container I use.
The water coming into there is from my pond filters and it contains lots of sediment which settles on the bottom
