Default Water Flow in the Winter

Yep. The challenge for me is finding an affordable 1,200 - 1,600 gph pump
that would use less electricity than my Oase Auquamax does now that would
make the switch out worth while from an economic stand point. Prices for
these low electrical consumption pumps have really increased in the last few
years!

Is your pump located in a skimmer box? ~ jan


Nope. It sits on a milk crate at the botton of the pond on the end oposite
from the filter/falls.


Should be pretty easy to change out. I wouldn't even bother with putting
the smaller one in the same crate. Just turn off the big and put the
smaller one in with its own tubing and milk crate or mesh baskets. ~ jan
