![]() John Wrote: Howdy, experienced ponders, from Fort Worth. Here's my 220 gallon pond last year, sans fish: http://artships.com/fountain.jpg Powered by a Little Giant PCL-025 475GPH pump, http://tinyurl.com/6shr5 , in the filter box, FMS-20, http://tinyurl.com/3lpcm It was Just Fine when it was all just for looks and little sound. Since the comets, though... Not so much. Now I want more water going over the falls, and none of that pea soup, either. And generally clearer water, without what looks like suspended dust. According to Little Giant's website, I should be able to connect the existing pump to a better filter, the PF300, http://tinyurl.com/5e44o (it looks to be a Little Giant). I know I can bump-up the waterfall volume a touch by replacing the hose with a slightly larger diameter. My main question is, will the pf300 filter with the 475GPH pump clear-up the water? Or, should I build a skippy filter into the lowest of the brownish plant beds? If so, how much more pump will I need to drive it? 1000gph (I'm guessing because 475GPH just doesn't seem like very much)? Feel free to chime in with, "The best filter is..." and ditto with a pump. Possibilites abound, paralyzing selection. But you've all been there. John *wave* to Gail F. Actually , the Little Giant filter is a a Pond Filtration filter, with the Little Giant name on it. There was a contract with Little Giant to sell PondFiltration filters under thier name. Due to certain circumstances, this is no longer happening. But the Filter is patented by Pond Filtration. -- dwizane |
