I like bead filters but you really need some form
of settling tank between the bottom drain and the bead filter. Thanks for the input. A local pond guru suggested the same thing (a settling tank for solids). Do you have any suggestions on an inside-the-pond bottom drain? Jim Zone 8a - Dallas, Texas Pond, Veggie Filter, Pond Maintenance & Pond Tour Pics: http://community.webshots.com/user/dallas75248

There are two commercial ones that are retrofit type, one the AquaWizard,
and the other Tetra. I have mine as just a down facing pipe coming down the side of the pond into the deepest spot. It works. The koi move the debris to the low spot, and the lift from the bottom will pick up even rocks from plant baskets that have been sent down there. -- RichToyBox http://www.geocities.com/richtoybox/pondintro.html "Jim" wrote in message ...

I took out the TurboVortex and went with a vortex
settling tank. Can you provide a link to some info on the vortex settling tank you use? Thanks, Jim Zone 8a - Dallas, Texas Pond, Veggie Filter, Pond Maintenance & Pond Tour Pics: http://community.webshots.com/user/dallas75248
