Default Pump Confusion

formula for centrifugal pump output.


I have a question about centrifugal pumps. Jan recommended putting the pump in
the filter, which would mean the pump is pulling water out of the pond not
pushing it into the filter. However, when reading the specs for my pump, it
says:
"Centrifugal pumps cannot pull water from a lower level. In order to start,
pump must be below water level and filled with water. Unless the ai can escape
from the outlet, the pump will not start."
So how do I put it in my filter?
