GC Tek PondKeeper system · complete water-garden & quarantine package
Everything on one pad, ready to go
A PondKeeper filter with 2 HP media agitator, an Artesian2 external pump (no oil to leak into the pond, far more efficient than a submersible) and a 316 stainless NishikigoiUV-H80 amalgam UV, pre-plumbed on a 36" × 48" all-weather pad with media in the tank. 2" unions at every fitting. Backwash is about three minutes a week with no dirty hands; winterize in minutes. Just the thing for water gardens and quarantine systems.
Out-of-pond pump
Artesian2 pumps from Performance Pro — quiet, efficient, 3-year warranty, plenty of push for backwash.
NishikigoiUV-H80
316 stainless, 80 W amalgam lamp, lifetime vessel warranty. Standard on all PondKeeper systems from 6/1/26.
Beefier spring check
The same heavy-duty check valve GC Tek fits to its side-mount filters.
Cords included
Pump and UV come with cords; set the pad, connect in/out, plug in.

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.
