Beckett UV 750,

"I had bought one of these several years back and had been very pleased with the performance and durability. Unfortuantely there has been a major design change since then, specifically on the inlet and outlet ports. Instead of being molded into the unit as they were, now they are removable and are only secured by a plastic nut that is impossible to get tight enough to eliminate leaking without it coming loose entirely. I ended having to return the unit to Home Depot. Poor design change by manufacturer."

Great for low-maintenance water feature,

"I recently purchased a home and inherited an unkempt water feature, with 2 tiered ponds and a waterfall. The water was very green, with filamentous algae growing everywhere. The previous owners had installed a swimming pool-sized pump and filter, although the filter was completely bypassed.
I decided to look for something that would clean up the water, but also not cost a fortune in electricity. I went to Home Depot and found this Beckett water filter with integrated UV light. I purchased the kit, along with some corrugated tubing and hose clamps. Upon getting home & opening the product, I was disappointed to find out that the kit didn't include a pump. They really should make it more clear on the packaging that a pump is not included.
Anyways, I went back and purchased a Beckett W600 pond/waterfall pump and hooked it all up. I'm thoroughly impressed! My system has been running for 5 days now, and the water has gone from pea-soup clarity to almost crystal clear. I would give this 5 stars, but I really think they should clarify on the box that you need a pump."

Sorry it's a term we use on the car forums... you basically just post in a thread so you don't forget about it and can track it.

that filter does not come with a pump, yet is rated at 600gph?

seems to me, after buying a good pump you're paying way too much. I would build bucket filters before I bought one of these.
