filter cleaning
Just wondering if there was a general rule of thumb for how often to clean
out the pond filter. I've got a very simple pump immersed in a box that has a bio filter (net bag filled with things that look like dish scrubbies and plastic hair curlers in it), topped by a square 1" thick spongy pad that sits inside the lid. I inherited this pond, which is why I don't know what I've really got. I've been cleaning it when my water spitter starts to get clogged and doesn't shoot up as high, but that's not very often. I know you don't want to kill the "good" microbes, so how often is good? Thanks, Kirsten (And to reiterate my other post--do I need to fertilize my water lilies to get flowers?) |
