Camouflaging a filter

[NancyMc]

i have attached a photo of my pond filter and would love to find a way to camouflage it. Any ideas?

I see plants but no filter it must be hiding

You've done a fine job already! I couldn't find it!!

I see it but it did take a minute to find it.

I have the same problem with my filter

 

[HARO]

OH, THERE!! Had to go back and look a second time! I would stick two tin cans to the sides, paint it yellow, and pass it off as a fire hydrant. Not nearly as noticeable as my two-drum filter.

One of my filters is similar to yours. Mine sits on a small concrete pad, under an Endless Summer hydrangea

@Tula would you mind posting a photo of your filter hidden under the hydrangea?

Why not dig a hole and partially bury it? Should make it easier to hide with plants!

It's amazing what you can do with a bit of driftwood.

Here is one of my smaller filters, hidden under the hydrangea bush. As the bush fills out more, you won't even be able to see it. This filter fed my beautiful Japanese Shower lantern, that was smashed earlier this Spring, by a falling tree

My newer filter is a Savio, you can see in the back ground. Hideously ugly - LOL. I'm probably going to order some willow fencing to put around it and put a planter on top of it, with creeping jenny draping down. It's return line to the pond is a 2 inch PVC pipe. I don't like the loud splash, so am thinking about a diffuser of some kind. Obviously, I didn't do enough research on it, prior to purchase - LOL !

My husband said to me " Everything you do to improve the filtration, makes the pond uglier!"

I have no idea why it posted pictures multiple times. I've tried to correct, to no avail.

Move the filter up behind the rocks.

From the photograph, it would also appear that your pond level is low as the planters are showing above water. Either that or the planters are too tall for the shelves that they're set upon.

Moving it behind a bush would be the best way that I can think of. It looks like you have piping that could easily be extended.

Thank you for all the great ideas! Here is an arrow to the "hidden" filter! I guess I should have cropped the original. And yes the plants are above the water. Unfortunately the people that built the pond made the shelves too shallow and I have to clear rocks to get the plants deeper - on my list!
