HELP How serious is it? Filter advice needed.
Hi All:
DH went home last night to a split filter pouring water everywhere. (Rubbermaid garbage can - pretty thin) Not fully understanding things like veggie filters he did his best to rectify the situation. First he turned off the pump - very good. Next - bacause the water level was down a six or eight inches he plopped the garden hose (no chlorine - well water) into the veggie filter that he just thought was a little pond, and turned on the hose full. I now have no filtration and a whole lot of goop from the WH roots in the pond. So how serious is all this goop in the pond with no filtration? If I make the Skippy filter that will take a day or two and I don't know if I have that much time. I did put a 500gph pump on a shelf with a hose out of the water to add aeration. Should I continue with making a new filter or rush to the nearest pond store and buy a filter? Pond is 1800 gal. 6' rise to filter, gravity to veggie filter, down stream to pond. Pump is Laguna 7000 with estimated 1500 gph at 6' rise. Looking at Cyprio 2000 Bioforce filter - pump size 1450 or the OASE Biotec 5 - pump size 1450. I'm a little concerned that my pump may push the water thru' just a little fast for either of these filters. Comments please! Heather SW Ontario |
