Default Whiskey Barrel Biofilter

Anyone know who sells the Lerio Whiskey Barrel liner with waterfall spout?

I'm getting tired of cleaning the external filter. The Skippy filter looks
promising, but I don't have the room to hide a stock container. So I thought
I could make an upflow filter out of a Whiskey Barrel.

Where are you located? I purchased mine at a pond store.
If you have one locally check with them. If they don't have
one in stock they might be willing to order one for you.

Thanks Bonnie, I discovered that PondsOnline (Canada) carries them.

Are you using yours as a pond or a biofilter? Any problem matching it up
with the whiskey barrel?

I saw a whiskey barrel liner with spillover "spout", a pump, etc. at
Wallmart just a month or so ago.

Hi Bill,

Mine is used as a veggie filter for a 100 gallon pond. It
just slid right into the half barrel - no problems. Largest
problem was trying to figure out how to keep the plants in
the barrel - I decided to use fishing line to anchor a
slotted plant basket in front of the spillway.

Thanks BV, my favourite place to shop. Good prices and no shipping hassles.
