Describe your filter system
Recently mjl asked about filters. How about a thread with each ponder
either describing their set up or pointing to their website? My koi pond filter has a website (below). My lily pond filter though I've yet to do much about website-wise. Instead of 4 barrels it is only 2. The lily pond is approx. 1,000 gallon. It is a gravity fed filter with water coming from a thru-the-liner bottom drain & no-nitch skimmer. The 3" pipes coming from those 2 sources feeds into the bottom side of the first barrel. There is a shut off valve between pond & barrel for cleaning/draining. Inside the 1st (pre-filter) barrel we used 2 cylinders of hardward cloth covered with screening. Water filters thru and enters a pipe in the center leading to the pump chamber with open cell foam & the pump. Between few fish and all the plants the filter didn't do much other than move water and get the muck off the bottom. The pond was clear prior to starting it up in mid-July.... so next spring will be very interesting. ~ jan ------------ Zone 7a, SE Washington State Ponds: www.jjspond.us |
