Disaster averted!
my pump hangs from its hose well off the bottom. I have no "stuff" on the bottom
except the pea gravel the koi took out of the lily pot. they even carry it by mouthfuls and dump it into the winter filter bucket. Koi "sweep" the bottom of the pond by picking and the action of their tails. this puts the stuff up into the water which gets dumped in the veggie filter and removed each fall from there. It has now been 9 years and have never had to clean the pond. of course, my pond is netted and so no leaves or other detritus blows in there.

What I'd really like is a pond pump with a float switch fitted. Somewhere between zone 5 and 6 tucked along the shore of Lake Michigan on the council grounds of the Fox, Mascouten, Potawatomi, and Winnebago |
