Description
The Aquascape UltraKlean 1500 Pond Filtration Kit (SKU 95058) is a complete, matched filtration system for ponds up to 1,500 gallons, taking the guesswork out of pump and filter selection. The kit includes the UltraKlean 2000 Pressurized Biological Filter with integrated 14-watt UV clarifier/sterilizer, a swirl sleeve for maximum UV contact time, an electronic bulb-saver (6/12/24-hour cycles), and a built-in cleaning indicator light — all paired with the AquaForce 1000 Solids-Handling Pump (1,070 GPH, 55W, asynchronous motor) and 25 feet of 1.5” kink-free pipe with stainless steel hose clamps. The unique sponge-free BioBall design eliminates the messy foam-pad cleaning required by traditional pressure filters. Backed by Aquascape’s 3-Year Limited Warranty.
Why Choose the UltraKlean 1500 Filtration Kit?
- Sponge-free BioBall design: Unlike traditional foam-pad pressure filters that clog and require you to open the canister, remove heavy sodden pads, and rinse them every few weeks, the UltraKlean 2000 uses BioBalls that create natural flow channels. Debris settles in the voids between balls and is flushed out with a simple knob-turn backwash — no canister opening, no media removal, no mess.
- Swirl sleeve for maximum UV efficiency: The included swirl sleeve causes incoming water to rotate in a helical spiral around the 14-watt UV lamp, dramatically increasing the contact time between water and ultraviolet light. More UV contact time means more effective destruction of single-celled algae cells — the cause of green water.
- Electronic bulb-saver — extends lamp life: Set the UV to operate on a 6, 12, or 24-hour cycle instead of continuous 24/7. Running the UV 12 hours/day can double the effective lamp service life, reducing annual replacement cost and lamp disposal frequency.
- Built-in cleaning indicator light: The filter signals when it’s time to backwash — no guesswork, no fixed schedule, no checking the calendar. The indicator responds to actual flow and pressure conditions inside the filter.
- AquaForce 1000 asynchronous pump: Aquascape’s asynchronous motor technology delivers high torque at higher head heights where traditional mag-drive pumps weaken — ideal for pushing water through the filter and up to a waterfall or return point. The protective cage handles solids up to 1/4”, allowing the pump to be placed directly in the pond without a skimmer.
- Flexible pressure filter placement: Unlike gravity filters that must be below water level, the UltraKlean 2000 pressure design allows placement above or below the water line — or buried completely out of sight in the landscape with just the access panel exposed.
- 3-Year Limited Warranty on filter and pump

Ideal Applications
- Water gardens and ornamental ponds up to 1,500 gallons
- Small-to-medium koi and goldfish ponds
- New pond installations needing a complete matched kit
- Existing ponds upgrading from gravity filters or underperforming UV systems
- Ponds without a skimmer — AquaForce 1000 places directly in the pond
Installation Overview
- Place the AquaForce 1000 pump in the pond (wide flat base keeps it stable on the pond floor)
- Connect 1.5” kink-free pipe from pump to UltraKlean 2000 filter inlet using the included stainless steel clamps
- Return filtered water from the filter outlet back to the pond via waterfall, stream, or spillway
- The pressure design allows the filter to be placed at any height — above, below, or level with the waterline
- The AquaForce 1000’s rotational ball output fitting can be adjusted to any discharge angle without replumbing
- The threaded pump disconnect allows removal for winterization without disturbing hose connections
Maintenance & Care
- Backwash: Turn the backwash knob to flush debris — no canister opening needed. The cleaning indicator light signals when backwashing is required (approximately every 10–14 days in season)
- UV bulb: Replace the 14-watt UV lamp annually for consistent green-water control. Clean the quartz sleeve at the same time. Set the bulb-saver to 12 hours/day to extend lamp life
- Pump cage: Periodically open the AquaForce 1000’s cage clips and rinse the pre-filter cage to clear accumulated debris
- Winterization: In freezing climates, drain the filter, remove and store the UV lamp, and use the pump’s threaded disconnect to remove the AquaForce 1000 — store pump indoors in a bucket with several inches of water to prevent seal drying
- Warranty reminder: Do not cut the pump cord (voids warranty); do not run the pump dry (voids warranty)
Frequently Asked Questions

How does the UltraKlean 1500 Kit eliminate green water?
Green water is caused by billions of microscopic single-celled algae suspended in the water column. The UltraKlean system attacks green water through a two-stage process:
- UV sterilization: The integrated 14-watt UV clarifier uses ultraviolet light to disrupt the DNA of single-celled algae. UV-damaged cells lose their ability to reproduce and clump together. The included swirl sleeve rotates water in a helical spiral around the UV lamp, maximizing the time each water molecule spends in the UV zone — more effective than straight-pass UV designs.
- Mechanical trapping: Clumped algae cells are then captured by the BioBall filter media during the mechanical filtration stage, removed from the water and flushed out during backwash.
For most ponds, green water clears within 1–2 weeks of installing and running the system continuously.
What is the benefit of the sponge-free BioBall design vs a traditional foam filter?
Traditional foam/sponge pressure filters are notorious for requiring frequent, messy maintenance: the foam pads clog rapidly with debris, forcing you to shut off the system, open the pressurized canister, remove heavy saturated foam, carry it to a hose, rinse it out, and reassemble — typically every 2–4 weeks.
The UltraKlean 2000’s sponge-free BioBall design works differently:
- BioBalls pack together loosely, creating natural flow channels between them
- Debris settles into voids between balls rather than clogging a foam matrix
- The backwash valve reverses flow, flushing accumulated debris out of the filter body
- The entire process is a simple knob-turn — no canister opening, no media removal, no mess
BioBalls also provide substantial surface area for beneficial bacteria colonization, providing biological filtration that breaks down ammonia and nitrites — essential for koi and goldfish ponds.
How often do I need to clean the UltraKlean 1500 filter?
The UltraKlean 2000’s built-in cleaning indicator light tells you when backwashing is needed — you don’t need to follow a fixed schedule. In typical conditions, most pond owners perform a quick backwash every 10–14 days during peak season.
The backwash process takes about 2 minutes:
- Turn the backwash valve knob to the backwash position
- Run until the discharge water runs clear
- Return valve to filter position
No canister opening, no media removal, no mess — just a knob-turn.
Is the AquaForce 1000 pump safe for fish and wildlife?
Yes. The AquaForce 1000 is completely fish-safe:
- Oil-free asynchronous motor eliminates any risk of oil contamination
- Pre-filter cage with 1/4” opening limits solids intake and protects fish from being drawn into the pump
- Wide flat base and large cage openings let the pump rest stably on the pond bottom without disturbing fish or plants
The pump’s rotational ball output lets you point the discharge in any direction for easy plumbing, and the threaded disconnect makes pump removal for winterization simple — no hose clamp removal or plumbing disturbance needed.
What is the warranty on the UltraKlean 1500 Kit?
The UltraKlean 2000 filter and AquaForce 1000 pump both carry Aquascape’s 3-Year Limited Warranty.
The warranty excludes consumable components:
- UV lamp (expected annual replacement)
- Quartz sleeve (the glass tube surrounding the UV lamp)
- Filter media (BioBalls)
The warranty is also voided by:
- Cutting the pump power cord
- Running the pump dry (always ensure the pump is submerged before powering on)
