Its unique spinning and lifting action separates and flushes waste effortlessly during backwash, which is activated by a simple valve rotation. Ideal for ponds and large aquariums up to 2000 gallons, this durable filter delivers proven, low-maintenance performance that keeps aquatic environments healthy and crystal clear. ## Description To support aquatic life whether at an aquaculture facility, backyard pond or large aquarium system it is essential to remove both ammonia and accumulated debris. The most efficient way to accomplish this is by installing an Ultima II biomechanical filter. The patented media has the highest biofilm surface for bacterial growth. The beneficial bacteria convert ammonia into harmless compounds. In field and independent laboratory testing the Ultima II filter with its patented media is the first to nitrify fish waste. The dense bed of ridged media traps solids without clumping. Internal jets in the filter are activated during the backwash separating the waste from the media and sending it out the waste line. Backwash is performed simply by rotating the valve. Review: Highly Recommended - Purchased this in Nov 2016 for a 1000 gallon koi pond that i heated and covered for the winter at 75f with 2 x 1000kw aquarium heters. this unit acts as both a bio and mechanical filter supplementing a 2500 gph box filter. i coonected to a aquascape force 2800 gph using 1.5 inch pvc within about 4 ft of inbound tank at about 5 ft head for piping. The unit has been working like a charm non stop 7x24 since then absolutely meets expectations and needs. Backflush is easy and effective. 10 koi 15 goldfish. Koi put on 8 inches now about 15 inches gold fish 5 to 7 inches. Water metrics solid and consistent. Highly recommended. 7/18/2020 Update: still working like a champ after almost 4 years. Ran it nonstop over the winter one year when I created a covered heated pond paradise (the water was a stable 73 degrees with two submersible 1000kw water heaters). Cleaned out the unit for the first time this year which was pretty easy. Great Product for my 1000 gallon pond. 11/12/22 UPDATE: Still working like a charm see fall picture. Added a gravity filter to output for return to pond. Backwash monthly. Use Aquaforce 2400 with directly threaded input between male threaded pvc end into pump female threads. Both are rock solid. Water tests consistently very good. Houses 1 3/4 ft koi 2 1.5 ft koi and about 10 2 cent feeded golfish that are now about 5 inches. Alos have Aquapump 260 air pump farthest from pump return going into a 8 inch round air diffuser on pond floor. Review: Works like a charm - The units are a bit pricey, but they do a great job and make cleaning a snap. Well worth the added expense as they are well made, functional quality products. Don't make the mistakes I made, spend the money up front and buy quality rather than cheaper alternatives. I recently did a complete overhauled my filtering and UV systems using the products made by Aqua Ultraviolet and my pond has never been cleaner and easier to maintain. My fish also seem happier now that the water in constantly clear. ## Features - This action blasts the media apart, then lifts and spins it, seperating the waste and flushing it away. - The Ultima II patented tubular media design has the highest surface area on the market to grow beneficial bacteria. - These bacteria break down fish waste, creating a safe healthy environment. - This action blasts the media apart, then lifts and spins it, separating the waste and flushing it away - The Ultimate II patented tubular media design has the highest surface area on the market to grow beneficial bacteria - These bacteria break down fish waste, creating a safe healthy environment - The Ultima II patented tubular media design has the highest surface area on the market to grow beneficial bacteria ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0002DJUNI | | ASIN | B0002DJUNI | | Best Sellers Rank | #290,610 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #4,406 in Aquarium Filter Accessories | | Brand Name | Aqua Ultraviolet | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (31) | | Date First Available | October 2, 2001 | | Date First Available | October 2, 2001 | | Department | men, women | | Department | men, women | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Dimensions LxWxH | 16.3 x 16.3 x 34.4 inches | | Item Package Dimensions L x W x H | 34 x 16.4 x 16.2 inches | | Item Weight | 34.7 pounds | | Item model number | 617750500195 | | Item model number | 617750500195 | | Manufacturer | Aqua Ultraviolet | | Manufacturer | Aqua Ultraviolet | | Material | plastic, polyresin | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 16.3 x 16.3 x 34.4 inches; 34.7 Pounds | | Size | 2000 Gallons | | Target Audience Keyword | fish, unisex-adult | | Warranty Description | 1 year | ## Images ![Ultima II 2000 Filter - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51CIqrUtISL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Recommended *by M***G on April 16, 2017* Purchased this in Nov 2016 for a 1000 gallon koi pond that i heated and covered for the winter at 75f with 2 x 1000kw aquarium heters. this unit acts as both a bio and mechanical filter supplementing a 2500 gph box filter. i coonected to a aquascape force 2800 gph using 1.5 inch pvc within about 4 ft of inbound tank at about 5 ft head for piping.

It arrived a day early so I was able to install it right away. I ran the filter for 12 hours straight and the water was so clear. Not only could I see the fish now, but all the way to the bottom of the pond. Bad news is, it’s so clean now that not I need to clean the bottom of the pond. Lol. I couldn’t have been happier with my decision to purchase this filter and would highly recommend it to anyone. What I learned is... you want a filter twice as big as your pond as a minimum. ## Frequently Bought Together - Aqua Ultraviolet Ultima II 2000 Filter - 40 Watt Aqua UV Replacement Lamp for UV Clarifier - Aqua Ultraviolet Quartz Sleeve with Rubber Seal, Classic 40 Watt A10040 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fr/products/2694689-ultima-ii-2000-filter](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/2694689-ultima-ii-2000-filter) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
