These filters need to be replaced/cleaned all the time. If you needed one for a kiddy pool maybe?
For a pond....I assume with actual stuff growing? It would gum this filter up immediately I would imagine?
I use it for 20-30 hours a week for 6 months all summer and store it in winter. It pumps ample volume of water and shoots out the nozzle like a jet stream. My water is crystal clear. I replace the filter as needed. roughly every 2 - 3 weeks. I use the leaf net as much as possible to make filter last as long as possible. I live in a woods so there is lots of debris falling daily.
I am buying this as a back up.
Thanks OP. Rep!!

For bubbles you need an air pump or use a venturi...with a venturi injector you add a clear hose and make sure its above the highest water mark and as the water flows through it, it creates a vacuum that pulls air into the water. be careful with bubbles as they can be damaging to roots if they are too aggressive since they are ratio'd based on the pump pressure. surface tension is all that is needed to oxygenate water...so just having a pump create waves can be enough, of course this depends on the needs of the root system. ive always thought it was a good thing to add something at 50-60% of the system to add more air.

Something like this will be a much better option over the long-term:

This will filter and add chlorine, which is necessary to kill nasty stuff. These cheap plastic filters don't remove the bacteria and other biologicals that can harm you. They only remove debris. You need to add chlorine or something else that will kill the pathogens. Sand filters clear the water and some (like the linked one) will help add chlorine automatically.

Note, I don't use the hot tub and the separate pump at the same time as I'm not sure my 15 amp breaker could take it if the heating element comes on.
Note 2, I piped it in a way that I can have a water feature on the hot tub now where we can hear some nice water running pleasantly or I can just make it work without the feature. I bought mine at about double the price.
