The company's site Pet-Mate / Ani Mate has a Q&A section on choosing pump and filters, pdf files per pump with installation, sizes and specifications, if you require more precise infomation. **Q: is this pump subersable or sit outside of pond** A: The Fish Mate 500 GUV Pond Filter is a gravity and UV FILTER not a pump. It is not submersible. The filter works in conjunction with a submersible pump that flows water into and through the filtration system and back into your pond. Inside is a Ultraviolet light that kills algae. This filter has to be installed above ground, outside of your pond and at or above the desired outlet level, e.g top of a waterfall. If you have any questions, please call Ani Mate Customer Service at 800 725 4333. **Q: can i use it 220v** A: No. It is not 220 rated **Q: How do you change uv bulb for Fish mate 500?** A: 1.unplug it 2. you will see screws (on most 4 of them) on the top of the lid 2 of them in the front by the flip up lid are the ones that you need to get to for the light the other 2 are to secure the top to the base. If you bend the flip up out a little it will come off the 2 plastic pins it rolls on and that will make it easier to do the screws. once open the 2 ends of the bulb are plugs that pull off then slide the old light out and reinstall new bulb in reverse. put it all back together in reverse of disassembly. take pictures as you go along with you phone if you can and you should be fine I hope this helps. ## Frequently Bought Together - Fish Mate 500GUV Gravity UV+Bio Pond Filter - Fish Mate 500 Pond Pump -Ceramic shaft bearings, Anti-clog filter design, Low running costs, Includes fountain set with 4 options --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co/products/5977892-fish-mate-500-g-uv](https://www.desertcart.co/products/5977892-fish-mate-500-g-uv) --- *Product available on Desertcart Colombia* *Store origin: CO* *Last updated: 2026-08-15*
