congrats!

We do maintainance once a year.
Usually mother's day as they can't resist
my request on that day. ;-)

I think an overbuilt filter and pump housing is the trick.
For 3,000 gallons we have a 150 gallon stock tank filter filled with 50 yards
of mesh screening.
The pump 2900 gph, is in a large black vertical laundry basket up off the floor
of the pond.
It is all full of mulm by cleaning time and the pump has slowed down but we
seem to do okay with yearly maintainance.
cross fingers!
