Second pump for a bottom drain.
I have been toying with the idea of putting a submersible pump in the pond
to act as a bottom filter. I already have a Savio skimmer with an external sequence pump, should be pumping about 3000GPH. The second pump would act as a bottom filter and a fountain maybe to power my floating turtle. How often do you think I would need to clean the pump to keep it from clogging? |

How often do you think I would need to clean the pump to keep it from clogging? Depends on how much falls into your pond. Currently, I have a small 200gph pump circulating the water near the surface of the pond. I am hoping that bouncing the water around will help cut down on my algae a bit. Anyway, every 4-5 days, I have to clean the screen on the input as it gets nearly totally clogged with algae and plant matter. BV. |
