Default Optimum flow rate through filter.



Experts might disagree with me later, but I have opted for 1 pond every
two hours. However, it depends to some extent on the efficiency of your
filter. I'm running a pressurised Hoselock with UV, followed by a plain
box bio filter.

Thanks for your reply. Very helpful.

By the way, how do you get on with your pressurised Hoselock filter? Is
that the one with the small hexagonal-shaped foam inside?
We used to have one of those in our old smaller pond and found it a right
pain! The foam inside ours needed rinsing every few days and the water flow
kept reducing down to a trickle very quickly. Do you also have that
problem?

Brendan
