What exactly is a "bucket" filter? Do you just put a bucket with filter
material in the pond, or is there a pump attached to it?
======================
Our bucket filters are made in a few minutes. I wrap plastic window screen
around the pump and set in on the bottom of the bucket. Then it's covered
with assorted filtering material held down by a few rocks. The whole thing
is set down into the water. Unfortunately with the spring algae they need
rinsing every few days. The water is pumped up into large biological
filters with more filtering material. They seldom need cleaning.
