Product Information
Full details
The Evolution Aqua EazyPod Automatic UV Filter in Grey is designed for garden pond owners with ponds up to 10,000 litres who want to maintain crystal clear, healthy water with minimal manual effort. Its key benefit is the automated cleaning cycle, significantly reducing the time spent on maintenance. A notable caveat is that it requires a compatible pond pump and additional pipework for installation, which are not supplied with the unit. This filter system combines mechanical and biological filtration, featuring an integrated control box for automatic cleaning cycles, an air pump for K1 Micro media, and an 18-watt UVC for algae control.

FAQs
What size pond is the EazyPod Automatic UV Filter suitable for?
It is designed for garden ponds up to 10,000 litres.
Do I need to buy a pump separately?
Yes, a compatible pond pump and pipework for waste discharge are not supplied with the filter and must be purchased separately.
How often does the automatic cleaning cycle run?
The frequency and duration of the cleaning cycle can be adjusted using the integrated control box timer to suit your pond's needs.
How does the filter clean itself?
During the automated cycle, an air pump agitates the K1 Micro media, and an automated waste valve opens to flush out accumulated solids.
What is the purpose of the K1 Micro media?
K1 Micro media provides a large surface area for beneficial bacteria to colonize, performing essential biological filtration to break down harmful waste products.
When should I replace the UVC bulb in the UV model?
The 18-watt UVC bulb typically needs replacing annually to maintain its effectiveness in clearing green water.
Can this filter be used in a gravity-fed system?
No, the EazyPod Automatic is specifically designed for pump-fed setups where water is supplied to the filter by a pump.
Troubleshooting
Filter not cleaning automatically
Check the timer settings on the control box. Ensure the automated waste valve is not obstructed and has power. Verify electrical connections.
Water remains green or cloudy
For the UV model, ensure the UVC bulb is functioning and has been replaced if it's old. Check that the flow rate is not too high for the UVC's capacity. Ensure the K1 Micro media is circulating correctly. Check for blockages in the filter or pipework.
No water returning to the pond
Check for blockages in the filter outlet or return pipework. Ensure the pond pump is functioning correctly and providing adequate flow.
Waste valve not opening
Inspect the valve mechanism for debris. Check the electrical connection to the valve from the control box. The valve may need replacement if damaged.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Pump Connection: Connect a suitable pond pump (not supplied) to the inlet of the EazyPod Automatic. Ensure the pump's maximum flow rate is compatible with the filter's requirements. Water will be pumped into the filter.
- Waste Outlet: Connect appropriate pipework (not supplied) to the waste outlet port for discharge. This pipe should lead to a suitable drainage point.
- Electrical Connections: Connect the control box to a mains power supply using a suitable RCD-protected outdoor socket. Ensure all electrical connections are waterproof and safe.
- Pump Feed: The EazyPod Automatic is designed for pump-fed systems. Water is supplied via the pump and returns to the pond via gravity from the filter outlet.
Compatibility:
- Pond Size: Suitable for garden ponds up to 10,000 litres.
- Pump Type: Requires a separate, compatible circulating pond pump.
- Water Return: Designed for gravity return to the pond.
Care:
- Automated Cleaning: The primary cleaning is automated. Regularly check that the waste outlet is clear and the automated valve is functioning.
- Media Check: While the K1 Micro media is self-cleaning with the air pump, occasional visual inspection is recommended.
- UVC Bulb (UV Model): The 18-watt UVC bulb typically needs replacement annually, usually before the start of the main pond season, to maintain optimal performance.
- Exterior: Clean the exterior casing with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
