filter for new pond

[DrDave]

A lot cheaper too. $5.99 at HD versus $45.00 for a bulkhead fitting at a plumbing supply. What a rip-off.

Hi all, Picked up the easypod filter today not sure yet how to feed it from the bottom drain either gravity fed or pump fed

 

[gw0mmb]

Going for gravity fed into the eazypod should be simple to do will post more pictures soon

congrats.. and welcome.. how big is your pond? gals?

 

[gw0mmb]

I would definately add a S&G filter to this... I will make a thread within the next day so you can see it

 

[DrDave]

There are thousands of members on this forum, I don't know one that has a sand and gravel filter. From what I hear, they are a pain to clean unlike the doc and skippy filters that have almost zero maintenance.

 

[cauzeneffeckt]

Then you are mis-informed.. the end all be all is not your "DOC Filter"

 

[DrDave]

Then inform us... Why don't you post the process for cleaning the S&G filter with photos and the time it takes? That way, folks will see for themselves what it entails.
