    Hi Mark, built my Koi pond last year with a pressure filter also got an aerator plus lots of pond plants, oxygenators and marginals and my Koi bred in the first year. However been getting some flak about using the filter I’ve got with the’local experts’ saying pressure filters are unsuitable for Koi. What’s your opinion?

    I don't want a waterfall; I just want a pond spitter at the edge of my pond. Do I just need the one pump for that? Will that be okay for my small garden pond and a few fish? I'm finding this really confusing.

    1000 gals per foot for a flat sheet style waterfall so 3’ wide you need 3000gals minimum at the head and run

    @The Pond Advisor well I guess it wouldn't be a bog filter. It would just be a 55 gallon drum size filter. Sorry I put bog in there. I have a 4000 gallon pond. I already have 2 filters. I just wanted something that would be more like nature filtering through rocks

    In my experience I'd go for twice the flow rate you think you need every single time.

    If you unsure you can turn it down or install a blowoff valve, you can’t however turn them up.
