High-Capacity Pond Filtration
The Pressure-Flo 21000 is designed for larger ponds where substantially more filtration capacity is required.
Mechanical foams capture suspended waste while the large quantity of BioLava provides extensive biological filtration surface area for beneficial bacteria.
Powerful 36W UVC Clarification
The integrated 36W UVC helps control suspended algae responsible for green water.
Combined with mechanical and biological filtration, this provides a comprehensive filtration system for larger ponds.
Easy-Clean System
Despite its larger size, the Pressure-Flo 21000 incorporates Fluval's convenient cleaning system.
The cleaning handles operate internal cleaning blades that help remove waste from the foam filters. Dirty water can then be discharged through the dedicated drain outlet.
Recommended Pump – Fluval Max-Flo 16500
Fluval recommends pairing the Pressure-Flo 21000 with the Fluval Max-Flo 16500 Waterfall & Filter Pump.
