Habitat - Outdoor :: How do you keep pond water clean?

[Joel]

Since my 1 meter by length tank is getting to small, tomorrow i am installing a pond, i will be installing a waterfall but i cannot get a filter for it as it is in the yard.

How can i keep it clean and healthy for the turtles?

There are actually pond filters and that's what most people use. You can just run an extension chord to an outlet.

mayb a pool filter ?

Yea you can use a pool pump and filter do you a DIY filter....Or as I did went to ace in the winter time bought the kiddie pool that came with pump and got a 5 gallon bucket and made my filter for about 10 dollars and works like a champ

A simple approach is a pump feeding an above ground filter used for koi ponds. Very cheap with a massive oxygen rich filtering area.

I have recently bought one for indoor pond, the equivalent of $40 (+pump)

The one I bought is at the link below, you may not be able to get that exact one in NZ, but there are probably similar.
