Circulation Times
A few days ago, someone posted a ballpark rule of thumb on how often your
water should circulate through your pump system. I can't find that post. Does anyone have that info? -- BenignVanilla tibetanbeefgarden.com x-no-archive: yes Remove MY SPLEEN to email me. |

Circulation Times
Most people go for between 1/2 and twice or more per hour.
A Pondmaster 2400, which uses 265 watts, will pump 1700 gph @ 6' of lift or 1500 gph at 8' of lift or head pressure. Head is a combination of lift and friction from piping. Bill Central Virginia and curently frozen over |

As a rule of thumb, the total volume of your pond should circulate through
the filter about once every 2 hours. Paul "BenignVanilla" wrote in message ...
