Poposoap Waterfall Pond Filter Review: A Practical Choice for Creating Charming Waterscapes

When creating a beautiful pond landscape, an excellent waterfall pond filter can play a finishing touch. Recently, I had the opportunity to experience Poposoap waterfall pond filter, and now I will share with you the performance of this product in detail.

Unboxing and First Impressions

When I received the waterfall pond filter kit from Poposoap, I was full of expectations. During the unboxing process, I was deeply impressed by its product quality. Take the waterfall box, for example, it is made of 304 stainless steel instead of common plastic. This material is carefully crafted with excellent corrosion and oxidation resistance, which means that it will not rust or deform easily in long-term use, and it is not afraid of wind and rain erosion and can be used for a long time. Its sturdy and durable characteristics not only allow the waterfall box to work stably and long-term outdoors, but also enhance the overall decorative effect, and can be perfectly integrated with various styles of pond landscapes.

Installation and Setup

The product's instructions are simple and clear, easy to understand and follow. I tried the plug-in version this time, but Poposoap solar water pump is also quite famous, and the manual has detailed instructions for both installation methods.

Assembling the Waterfall Box

The installation process was quite smooth. The first step to assemble the waterfall box is to install the spillway on the box. This step is simple to operate. Just use the silicone glue that comes with the kit and carefully squeeze it into the small grooves of the spillway, making sure that the grooves are evenly covered with glue. At first I thought one tube of glue would be enough, but I didn't expect that two tubes were just right, which shows that this detail design is very thoughtful. On the spillway, there is a small folded edge, which is the lip where the water overflows. It is not a simple straight edge. This little trick ensures that the water flows evenly from the entire spillway to form a beautiful waterfall effect. When the spillway and the box are installed together, the two can easily slide into each other. It seems that I have some effort when installing it, but in fact I want to make sure it is fully embedded in place so that the glue can fully cover all the seams.

Connecting the Hose

Next is to install the hose. It comes with a small bulkhead connector, and when installing it, make sure the included rubber gasket is properly installed on both sides of the connector and then tighten it. This process is simple and can be easily completed by someone who does not have much installation experience.

Installing the Water Pump

When installing the water pump, I found that the water pump has a flow adjustment function, which is very useful. The water pump connector can be easily tightened and fixed. The water pump originally comes with some small suction cups to attach to the bottom of the pond, but in this application, we used the mesh bag included in the kit. Placing the water pump in the mesh bag can effectively prevent debris from entering the water pump and avoid clogging, which prolongs the service life of the water pump.

Performance and Observations

After everything was ready, I couldn't wait to take the device outside to test it. I chose the THG water storage tank in the greenhouse to match the waterfall filter, and I felt that the two were very compatible. When I started the water pump, I was really surprised that this little water pump has a lot of power. The water rushed up quickly, forming a beautiful small waterfall, and the water flow rate is quite impressive. However, a minor problem was discovered during operation, and the device began to leak, which made me wonder if a part needed further fixing or sealing. Despite this episode, the waterfall effect is still quite good overall, and the sound of the water adds a natural atmosphere to the whole environment.

Filter Media and Plant Integration

Another great feature of this waterfall filter is that it can also be used as a filter. The empty space in the waterfall box can be filled with a lot of filter media, such as P gravel, and I plan to plant some plants in it. I originally planned to plant umbrella grass, but finally decided to plant society garlic. Although these plants look a little wilted in winter, I believe that once they are nourished by water, they will soon be rejuvenated. After adding plants and filter media to the box, the water flow of the waterfall became significantly smoother, creating a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. My pet turtle "Cool Man" also seemed to enjoy this new environment.

Long-Term Use and Conclusion

In the approximately one and a half weeks of use, there were no other problems except for the initial leak. And the leak was also easy to solve. After that, the entire waterfall filter ran quite stably. After using it for a while, I have a deeper understanding of this product. If you are building a small pond or waterscape and want to find an easy-to-install swamp filter that has a good water flow conversion rate and can also oxygenate the water through waterfalls, then I think this waterfall pond filter from Poposoap is a very good choice. It is not only functional, but also designed with users' needs and usage scenarios in mind.
