The Pond Governor

The Pond Governor is a highly efficient, anti-clogging, mechanical pre-filter designed to improve the water quality of fish ponds, Koi Carp ponds, natural ponds and water gardens by increasing both the ponds natural biological filtration efficiency and the efficiency of the external biological filter systems.

It will improve the pond pumps flow rate to the external biological filter systems, pond fountains and pond waterfalls, as it separates and pre-filters organic solid waste from the pond water, and contains it in the housing sump before it is able to clog the pump or external biological filters.

Features And Benefits

- Solid waste separator

- Anti clogging filter member

- Accepts solid waste up to 10mm (3/8 inch) diameter

- Can pre-filter down to 100 microns (0.004 inch)

  • - Can be cleaned in use, in seconds

  • - Integral multipurpose vacuum

  • - Option of mid water and bottom drains

  • - Safety cut out system protects both the water and the fish Pond Governor using one flexible filtration inlet

  • - Low maintenance

  • - High performance

  • - Easy to install and use

  • - All parts are reusable

Installation (Click Here for Quick Setup Guide)


Fig 5

Simply install and secure the Pond Governor housing and your pond pump in any easily accessible position just below the pond water's surface as shown in Figure 5.

The adjustable inlets (5) are used to prefilter mid water and just below the pond water surface.

The adjustable inlets (5) are used to prefilter mid water and just below the pond water surface.

Inlet (2) is multi functional and gives the option to use a flexible hose to install a mid water inlet or bottom water inlet or simply fit a vacuum attachment and vacuum up those pockets of water polluting organic solid waste.

The adjustable inlets (5) are used to prefilter mid water and just below the pond water surface.

Inlets (3) and (4) are multi functional and give the option to use two flexible hoses separately or simultaneously to install mid water inlets or bottom water inlets or simply fit the vacuum attachment and vaccum up those pockets of water polluting organic waste. 

The Pond Governor separates, pre-filters and vacuums the organic solid waste from the pond's water and gives the options of surface water, mid water and bottom water filtration separately or simultaneously as shown by the flow arrows in Figure 1.

This multiple inlet separator and pre filter can be used:-
• Without flexible hoses (Fig 5)
• With one flexible hose (Fig 6A or Fig 6B)
• With two flexible hoses (Fig 1)
• With Vacuum attachment (Fig 6A)    

Figure 1A

Figure 1A shows the Pond Governor housing 1 and the pond pump 2 installed in a pond filtering water just below the pond surface and at mid water simultaneously. The water can be discharged back onto the pond using a simple pipe as shown or by way of example a fountain or a waterfall.

Performance Option

The vegetable filter 5 helps to remove nitrate (the prime food of algae).

 The option to be used with the flexible hoses that can be installed into any position inside a pond gives this filter system unprecedented cleaning ability.

The Vacuum Attachment

Pond Governor using vacuum attachment

The supplied vacuum attachment shown in Figure 6A cleans up those pockets of unsightly, water polluting solid waste that are inaccessible to conventional pre-filters, solid handling pumps and gravity fed bottom drain systems.

The Pond Governor can be used as a conventional pond vacuum for major pond cleaning to remove both the solid waste and the wastewater from the pond bottom.

Simply disconnect and divert the pond pump outlet pipe from your external biological filter, fountain or waterfall to a drain off position or the garden lawn.

Then pump the vacuumed solid waste and wastewater to a drain off position or the garden lawn.

The Pond Governor vacuum attachment can be used for general upkeep in a maintained pond to remove the pockets of unsightly, water polluting solid waste from the pond bottom without any water loss.

This is very important to the fish keeper who realises how valuable good water quality is, how hard it is to achieve and how important it is not to waste it.

The Advantages of Using the Pond Governor

The wide choice of different, easy to use, and change filtration functions, that can be used on their own, or in any combination, gives this filter system many advantages, over standard single function systems.

A pond pump pre filter only acts as a strainer which keeps all the water polluting solid waste in the pond, is difficult to clean and constantly clogs. The Pond Governor is a combined separator and pre filter that removes this water polluting solid waste from the pond, contains it in the housing sump and

has an anti clogging filter member sleeve.

A solid handling pump, only removes solid waste from the pond and pumps it up into the external biological filters, which then have to remove this clogging waste.

The Pond Governor removes the solid waste from the pond and contains it in the housing sump. This not only gives the advantage of reducing the

clogging solid waste inside the external biological filters, it reduces the solid waste passing through the pond pump that can be broken up into fine particles by the pond pump which, are difficult for the external biological filters to remove.
