GC Tek PondKeeper · value bead filter · agitator now standard
Real GC Tek filtration for the water garden budget
The PondKeeper is GC Tek's affordable pressure filter: a thermoplastic tank, GC Tek's own PondKeeper media, a 6-position multiport valve, and — new for 2024 — a 2 HP media agitator and heavier-duty spring check valve as standard equipment. Every model is now the LP (Lower Profile) version, easier to hide behind the waterfall. FLUFF-N-SPIN backwash jets spin each piece of media clean without stripping the bacteria you want to keep.
Agitator standard
The same 2 HP blower the big filters use, mounted low so it's easy to conceal.
PondKeeper media
Protective shape keeps beneficial bacteria safe through backwash; no clogging, no channeling.
No two-speed pump
Backwashes on the same pump that runs the pond. About 3 minutes a week, no dirty hands.
Lower profile
LP is now standard on all four sizes — shorter tank, easier install.

Ordering & delivery
How long until it ships?
Most GC Tek filters and systems are assembled to order in Chandler, Oklahoma. Typical lead time is about 3 weeks from order to ship, then transit time. Parts and media we stock ship from Upland, CA within a day or two.
Why no freight at checkout?
Freight for a pressure filter or pre-plumbed system depends on your address, liftgate needs and residential vs. commercial delivery. Charging a flat guess would overcharge some customers and undercharge others, so we quote it to the dollar and confirm with you before shipping.
Can I pick it up instead?
Yes — pick up free at Mystic Koi & Water Gardens in Upland, CA. Choose local pickup at checkout or tell us in the order notes and we'll skip freight entirely.
Who handles the warranty?
We do. As an authorized GC Tek dealer we process warranty and parts through the factory for you — no shipping the tank back across the country.
