Looks like pump change out will be a regular maintenance chore around
here. Dang snails like plugging up the impeller!

Couldn't you just use a foam prefilter to keep the snails out? It seems
like
that would work. Good luck and later!
=========================
Have you tried the foam prefilters? I find them worthless as they clog
constantly. They sometimes needed twice daily cleaning. I use coarse
sponge filters in my fry pools and they need cleaning every few days
although they keep the water crystal clear. As a prefilter we're using the
plant baskets wired to together like clam shells with a hole for the cord
and hose to exit. They never clog. :-)
