The connections on the filter itself.

Most filters are also outside

Id like one that goes into the pond

With fountain

With connectors for the UV

Thanks

That's not a filter, it's UV bulb unit. You will still need a pump and filter. I'd suggest having the filter and UV outside the pond so you can clean them and change the bulb more easily.

The pump will be in the pond but very few filters will be in the pond and too large etc. have the pump in the pond pushing water in to the filter and T off to the UV, run the pump 24/7 and make sure that if you turn off the pump you turn off the UV. I would return the UV in to the filter to catch the dead algae but it doesn’t have to be that way. The UV will have an ideal flow rate so make sure the pump is not too fast for it (hence the T off)

Also worth taking a look at Pondkeeper.co.uk I've used them for 20 years and their service is excellent.

Also in my experience the size of pumps recommended is usually far too small for the size of pond. For example, I use a 14,000 litre/hour flow rate pump and my pond is about 1,800 litres. However I do have some large koi and several other fish.
