Theresa, all our pumps have filters.  Our first fountain is a sunken tub with 
a grate on top covered with rocks & the water shoots up out of the ground.  
This one does not need cleaning thru the season due to the rocks on top.  BTW 
this is a safe water feature if you have children in the area and it certainly 
attracts kids.  This is located in the front and kids stop all the time to 
watch & stick their hands or legs in.
    Fountain in the pond has a lg filter which does need cleaning regularly.  
Pump on the birdbath fountain does not cleaning.
