The Fluval Pressure-Flo 8000 is a pressurised pond filtration system designed for garden and fish ponds up to approximately 8,000 litres.
Combining mechanical foam filtration, BioLava biological media and an integrated 13W UVC clarifier, the Pressure-Flo 8000 helps remove suspended debris, support beneficial bacteria and control the free-floating algae responsible for green pond water.
Its pressurised design allows flexible positioning around the pond and makes it possible to return filtered water to the pond, waterfall or watercourse.
Key Features
- Suitable for ponds up to approximately 8,000 litres
- Integrated 13W UVC clarifier

Mechanical & Biological Filtration
Pond water entering the Pressure-Flo passes through the filter foams, which capture suspended dirt and organic debris.
The Pressure-Flo 8000 also contains 1,600g of BioLava, providing additional surface area for beneficial bacteria involved in biological filtration. These bacteria help process dissolved waste and support more stable pond water quality.
Integrated 13W UVC Clarifier
The built-in 13W UVC helps control the microscopic free-floating algae that cause green pond water.
As pond water passes through the system, UVC treatment helps control these algae so they can be more effectively removed by the filtration process.
Easy-Clean System
The Pressure-Flo incorporates an integrated cleaning system that allows accumulated debris to be flushed from the filter without completely dismantling the unit during routine maintenance.
The cleaning handles operate internal foam-cleaning blades, while the mode selector directs dirty water through the drain outlet during cleaning.
Recommended Pump – Fluval Max-Flo 5300
Fluval recommends pairing the Pressure-Flo 8000 with the Fluval Max-Flo 5300 Waterfall & Filter Pump.
The Max-Flo 5300 moves pond water and suspended debris towards the Pressure-Flo, where mechanical, biological and UVC filtration can take place before the water returns to the pond.

Choosing the Correct Filter
The 8,000 litre rating is a maximum sizing guide. Heavy fish stocking, strong sunlight, high feeding levels and large amounts of organic waste can increase filtration requirements.
For more demanding ponds, choosing a larger filter can provide additional capacity.
Maintenance
Regularly inspect and maintain:
- Filter foams
- BioLava
- UVC lamp
- Quartz sleeve
- Hose connections
- Drain outlet
Fluval recommends replacing the UVC lamp annually to maintain effective clarification.
