Laguna Filter
Does anyone have or had a Laguna pressure flo filter? I'm looking to replace
my BioForce 1000. Pros /Cons? Thanks for any help. |

Just remember that Laguna, and pretty much everyone else always overestimate the capacity of their filters. My first filter was a Laguna 1000, which claimed it could handle any of their pumps, which I believe is at least 2500 gpm. I was later told that was 'unrestricted flow' - like for instance, filter mats or media. To do hardly any mechanical filtering you had to reduce the flow to around 500 gpm. It seems Jan once said that the real rating of most filters is about 1/2. They are cheating because a no fish/ very low fish pond only needs about 1/2 the filtering capacity. Bill |
