Cheers, I'll look into getting a new UV for the old filter, but the filter that is being used in the fish pond is only 2 or so months old.

Go to a good aquatic centre and ask the staff there, not Pets @ Home or similar.
Plenty oxygen in the water hun as I have plants and the pond is agitated quite a lot from the feeds coming out of the filters.
