filters and pumps..need advice
Hi All, We have added another larger pond to our already existing one
(6x7..about 25 inches deep) The new one is 8x8 and about 36 inches deep at the deepest point. Our goal is to have the larger "upper" pond flow into the "lower" smaller pond thru a spillway. We would like to have the pump in the smaller pond drawing the water to a biofilter that empties into the larger pond thus overflowing into the smaller one. I have figured that together the ponds are a little over 2000 gal. I have looked around my small town and it seems that the home improvement stores are about the only option for pumps and filters. My question is does anyone have the "Little Giant" brand products and have they worked well for you??? Also for my setup the cost will be about $450.00. Should I go online and perhaps get a different brand. Does this seem like a good price for the product quality?? Thanks for any info you can provide.

Hi. sorry it took so long for me to answer. DO NOT have a larger pond flowing
into a small pond it needs to be the other way. If the power goes out it will flood the small pond.....when the power goes on it will almost empty the small pond to get a spillway going. Jerri http://www.fringeweb.com/Ponds/JerrisPond |
