We have a Gould sewage pump that we use to pump water to our waterfall. It
is a nice powerful pump so powerful that it sucks up our fish! For some
reason the fish really like to hang out around the pump, it must be the
current it generates or something. Anyway, is there something we could put
the pump in that will allow waterflow thru' and will keep fish safe? The
pump stands 19" tall and is about 13" wide. Thanks!

=========================
Make a "basket" from 1/4" hardware cloth and J-clips. Watch for clogging if
a lot of leaves and plant debris sticks to the mesh.


How strong of a pump do you have pulling water through it?
The basket around the intake of my 1250GPH pump couldn't possibly clog
given all the area around it.
