Thanks for the help, will go to 1-1/2" dia. tubing. I have a diverter vlv
in there too that splits it up to two filters....


For this size pump, 1.5" should be fine.

I would not go less than 1.5" and preferably 2"

I have a 1200gph mag drive pump. My pond will be approx 1100gals, is
this enough pump? what size tubing i should use.

It should be enough. I would make the tubing at least one inch in
diameter to maximize the flow and reduce backpressure.

My recommendation was a minimum diameter.
