PondXpert SpinClean Auto 12000 Filter 13w UVC

The PondXpert SpinClean Auto 12000 Filter 13w UVC is a high performance pressurised pond filter designed for larger garden ponds where water clarity, filtration efficiency, and low maintenance are essential. Suitable for ponds up to 12000 litres, this model combines powerful mechanical filtration, integrated UVC, and an automatic foam cleaning system to deliver excellent results with minimal effort.

Built on the trusted SpinClean platform, the SpinClean Auto 12000 takes pond filtration a step further by removing the need for manual foam agitation. Instead of turning a handle by hand, this filter uses an integrated electric motor to clean the foam media automatically. This makes it an ideal solution for ornamental ponds, goldfish ponds, and lightly stocked koi ponds where convenience and reliability are key priorities.

When the built in cleaning indicator shows it is time for maintenance, the cleaning process is simple and mess free. You turn the blue dial to clean and switch the pump off. A red indicator light confirms the cleaning cycle has begun and the internal motor rotates the cleaning paddle against the foam filters, loosening trapped debris. After approximately 3 minutes, an audible beep signals that the cleaning cycle is complete. You then switch the pump back on to flush waste water out through the dedicated outlet. Once the water runs clear, the dial is returned to pond mode and normal filtration resumes.

The integrated 13 watt UVC is designed to control green water algae and maintain clear pond water throughout the season. As water passes through the filter, the UVC causes microscopic algae to clump together so they can be captured by the foam filtration media. This helps improve water clarity and supports a healthier environment for fish and plants. The UVC bulb is included, allowing the filter to be installed and used straight out of the box.

Inside the unit, a combination of coarse and fine graduated foams provides effective mechanical filtration, capturing debris before it can break down and affect water quality. As a pressurised pond filter, the SpinClean Auto 12000 can be installed away from the pond edge and partially buried if required, keeping equipment discreet and maximising landscaping opportunities.
