Hi, Just found this group. I'm excavating for a pond......first time. Only
a small one, about 7ft by 7ft, 3ft at deepest. Q. Does the pump for the
filter have to be at the deepest part?
TIA
===============
NO! That's dangerous as if a connection came lose you can lose all your
fish and burn out your pump. Always have it above the bottom by at least
18" to 2' for safety. Don't put in real close to the filter's outflow for
obvious reasons. Try to get it as far from the outflow as possible.
