I have not used my Aquadyne without a prefilter, but when I started the bead
filters several years ago, I was using only a BBF-2 and the fine slits cut in the inlet pipe clogged with pieces of algae and other plant debris, and was hard to backwash it out. I have since used some form of prefilter, mats in the skimmer, vortex filters for the bottom drains with hardware cloth over the vortex exit to keep frogs out of the plumbing and pumps. I now have a BBF-2 and an Advantage 15000 for my larger pond and an Aquadyne 4.4 on the smaller pond. -- RichToyBox http://www.geocities.com/richtoybox/pondintro.html wrote in message oups.com...
