I use this filter on a 625 gallon stock tank pond. It is convenient to open the "hood" and remove the foams for cleaning. You don't have to stop the pump, and you can peek inside the filter any time to check it. The green color also helps the unit blend in with the shrubs.
I purchased this unit on December 6, 2011 and installed on December 12, 2012. Today, after noticing the pond water that has been staying muddy and green for about 2 weeks, I removed the unit's UV chamber and found that the UV lamp quits working and stays dark. Replacing with a new lamp, the lamp did not illuminate. Put in a new capacitor, it did not help to bring the unit back to life. It appears that the ballast is defective. It has only 9 months of use. I sent an email to the N. America Ani Mate, Inc. about the issue and now waiting for their reply and a resolution. The product has a 3-year warranty claim and, hopefully, I will get it repaired or replaced by the manufacturer.

My little pond is in a really sunny spot. It is not algae free, altho' the algae is noticeably less....don't know if I'm expecting too much from a 800 model. So far it is working good, I am happy with the purchase.
