This isn’t a loaded question but have you had one? Has anyone reading? I’ve seen a lot of bad and good comments that’s all on YouTube and such a lot say if you’re willing to clean it regular (that I am) it’s alright
I’ve not had that exact brand, however I know from experience and googling the filter itself, it will not cope with the size of your pond.

Your issue is going to be, in a years time you can’t return it and you will be looking for a new one, you will likely be able to return it and pick a 2nd hand one up for half the price which will manage the size.

If you don’t want to take the advice of myself or anybody else on the internet.

Try and find someone locally who has a similar size pond and ask them what they think.

Cheers,

Pond Man

Think I’ve seen enough of this forum now, I think if a pond is higher than ground level against a breeze block wall water will win my water level (mental I know) is lower than first block on that wall imagine gardens got built on slopes in the north 😂

Are you sure you’re a builder?

What a crazy response.

Hi Tsellars1,

Im from Sheffield, so I am local to South Yorkshire.

Depending on where you are based I don’t mind popping round to give you some input.

Cheers,

Deleting the insulting posts do not go unnoticed.

May I suggest you refrain from abusive behaviours.it will not be tolerated on this forum.

It is quite evident that you don’t need advise from anybody.

This entire thread you have objected to others opinions and advice.

I hope you enjoy your hole as I’m sure nobody will be investing there time and effort trying to help.
If a dogs sense of smell is so good, why do they need to get so close to the other dogs butt?

As some people don't seem to be able to be civil I'm locking this topic.

In future please keep posts polite and within the forum rules.

People who can't distinguish between etymology and entomology bug me in ways I cannot put into words.
