The product is actually about a three star item. It is reasonably well made, but all plastic can break if care is not taken, and when removing the cover to clean the filter, care needs to be taken or the tabs can break. As for the reviews complaining about the foam filter deteriorating too fast, don't try to wash it out by putting your hose sprayer at full strength and it will last much longer, simply take reasonable care when washing it out and it will last a long time, the more gently you treat the foam the longer it will last. If however you handle it roughly, it won't be long before the foam needs replacement and the plastic tabs are broken.
It is a decent product, not a great one. I'd give it four stars normally, since it is a good product that does what it claims to quite well when reasonable care is taken cleaning it.
I'm sorry about the rant, I let the one star reviewer get under my skin, I'm just sick of seeing products slammed because of ignorant and lazy people.I was looking for something to remove all of the sediment from my small pond and would attach to my pump. I had been using a home-made filter made from a small bucket filled with lava rock; very difficult to clean. The SF1 kit installed in minutes and is very easy to clean. Now I can see to bottm of the pond and the fish seem happier, lol.
Buy SF1 Submersible Flat Box Filter Now
I bought this product as it gift for my husband for his fish pond, he was most excited. He set it up, and after a few days u saw how the water was getting cleaner, and the filter was pulling all the moss, little flies or mosquitoes from it. Once you wash out the filter regularly it will work perfect.First off This filter wants to float a little I put a rock in mine under the foam insert this fixed the issue. You can probably use gravel or a rock on top or Partially bury it under rocks or wedge it under or agents something. Other than that I own one of these box filters in my pond works great the foam insert is easy to clean off with a hose. This is just the filter not the pump altho i have a tetra pump that works in great cobonation with the filter.great Submersible Flat Box Pond Filter , i tried many diferents before but so far this one is the best !!!!
