Quick answer

Place the AllPondSolutions CUP-305 directly in your pond, connect the single power cable, and ensure the outlet is above water level. No separate filter box or extra plumbing is needed.

Why choose an all-in-one unit

The CUP-305 combines a pump, mechanical and biological filtration, and a 5W UVC lamp in one housing. This removes the need for a separate external filter box, extra cables, and hidden pipework, making installation far simpler for small ponds.

Before you start

Check that your pond volume is suitable for a 1000 L/H pump. This unit is ideal for small ponds up to about 2,000 litres, but for larger volumes you may need a higher flow rate or additional filtration.

Step-by-step installation

  1. Position the unit in the pond: Place the CUP-305 on a flat, stable area at the pond bottom. Ensure the outlet nozzle is above the water surface so water can flow freely. A common mistake is submerging the outlet, which reduces flow and can cause back pressure. Check the outlet height before filling the pond.
  2. Connect the power cable: Plug the single power cable into a suitable outdoor RCD-protected socket. The all-in-one design means no separate wiring for the pump, filter, or UV lamp. Ensure the cable is not kinked or under tension. Always use an RCD for safety near water.
  3. Prime the system and start: Ensure the pump is fully submerged before switching on. Turn on the power and check that water flows from the outlet. If air locks occur, tilt the unit slightly to release trapped air. The UV lamp will activate automatically. If flow is weak, check for air locks or debris in the intake.
  4. Adjust the flow and monitor: Most all-in-one units have a flow control valve. Adjust it to match your pond's needs and prevent splashing. Over the first 24 hours, check for leaks and ensure the UV lamp is glowing (visible through the housing). Replace the UV lamp annually for consistent algae control.
