Default Pond Pump

I have a 1200gal pond and the pump i use keeps getting clogged with stuff`,
cutting down on the flow.Getting to be a chore. Its a 1200gph pump so it
sucks pretty good. Is there a simple solution to this? Also does anybody
recommend what size tubing/pipe i should use with this pump? Thanks


I used a tip someone else posted about.. we use two of those open mesh pond
planting baskets, with a hole in the top for the cord and hose. Attach them
together with zip ties.

You'll probably have to get the bigger planters, but get the zip ties at
walmart instead of lowes or home depot, because they are cheaper there.
