Dear all,

I have an external filter for my pond, the holes in the top pipe that the pump is connected too have become blocked, so I just a little trickle of water. Normally, I can unblock the holes by putting my hand in the filter and pushing a screw into them, then they become free.

However, this time they will not unblock, I tried poking a stick down the pipe and also putting a water tube inside the pipe to try and flush and clear any sludge or debris. The water still just trickles out.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, or has someone had the same problem.

Cheers

Can you make a water tight connection and use a water hose to flush it out backwards
