Here's a pic of when I put it on the top of the prefilter media: http://users.owt.com/jjspond/koipond/photos/set1/11.jpg But now I run water thru the pre-filter, thru one bio-chamber and into the pump chamber where the tubing, connected to the smaller pump w/o mesh baskets, comes out the top and over to the ponds: http://users.owt.com/jjspond/koipond/photos/set1/04.jpg Very low tech. ;-) Due to a slight grade everything self drains back to the pond or filter, so I don't have to worry about freeze ups during a power outage. In hindsight this is not how I would do things if rebuilding, we would figure out an underground way to by-pass the waterfall. At last, we all make do as we learn. ;-) ~ jan ------------ Zone 7a, SE Washington State Ponds: www.jjspond.us |
