Default 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
