I just require a little advice.
I was just wondering which type of pump would be best.

1/ A pump that sits on the bottom of the pond and pipes going upto a filer
and returns back.

2/ Or a pump that sits in a pump house out side the pond and pipes run
from
the pond through the pump then into a filter & uv light & back to the
pond.

does anyone have any comments as to which one would be the best.

There are pro's and con's to both setups. I use a pump sitting in my filter
pond that is gravity fed via a bottom drain. This pond is only a foot or so
deep, so cleaning and maitenance is easy. This also prevents me from ever
accidently draining my pond, because once the water drops to a certain
level, the pump will just dry up. In the situation where the pump is on the
bottom of the pond, you have a potential for draining the pond if the output
ever got redirected.
