Submersible Pump 'basket'?

How strong of a pump do you have pulling water through it? The basket around the intake of my 1250GPH pump couldn't possibly clog given all the area around it. ===================== I think ours is about 3500 gph. Plant debris is what would clog mine quickly without some kind of "guard" around it. There are loads of plants in both ponds. Seems to me a large wireframe basket would solve that problem. Then, just put the bag over that so no fish go in. ========================== I have two plant baskets wired together like clam shells. A bag? Anything finer than the plant baskets would clog in no time. -- RM.... Frugal ponding since 1995. rec.ponder since late 1996. Zone 6. Middle TN USA ~~~~ }((((* ~~~ }{{{{(ö |
