Hey all,

Currently on our ~2500 Gal. Koi pond we have a white Matala
(http://www.pondpetsusa.com/matala.htm) primary filter in front of our
pump. Here is a picture of our filter:

It does a great job of keeping algea/etc. out of our pump, but is difficult
to clean. This time of the year wish the fish spawning the amount of algea
kicked up we have to clean it everyday and it takes about 15 minutes each
time. Is anyone aware of a different filter material that is easier to
clean or a quick way to clean the Matala filters? Are we using a filter
that is too tight or catches too much material? Any help would be
appreciated.
