Canister and gravity filters are essentially boxes of filter media that sit away from the pond with water flowing in from one end and out the other to return to the pond.  They need to be placed at or above the pond surface.  These filters are effective and easily maintained.  There is a wide variety of prices and quality levels with these filters.
