As for prefilters, most of them are way undersized, made of foam, and clog
quickly. Get some of the mesh type plant baskets, put the pump inside, run
the pipe through the top basket, and tie the top basket to the bottom
basket. The baskets are not as fine as the foam, but they are fine enough
to prevent the pump from clogging. The baskets have a larger surface to
clog, versus the foam filter, so it takes longer.

A pictures of a pump in clam shell described above can be seen at my
website below. Click on *My Pond Photos* and go to Page 7 bottom. ~ jan
