** Pump probly needs upgrading to a 750 or so reccomended to pump pond volume through the filte4r

once per hour ( twice is OK too)



Hmm, Am I dropping a decimal point? 20 Gallons per minute X 60
minutes per hour = 1200 GPH. This was a 'guesstimate' - The inlet to
the barrel is about 1/3 of the way up, the outlet about 2/3. When the
pump is turned off, the water flows back out through the pump until it
drops below the inlet (no check valve). It takes less than a minute
from the time the pump is turned on until water flows out the outlet.


not you me I read that as 60 gph not gpm sorry
your 1200 iis just fine

sounds like your on the road puttin a drain in the filter would
definitly help you to clean it easier
