We've got a 4000 litre pond with about 13 fish, two of which are quite large carp. Recently I've had to lift the pump out several times as it was getting blocked with algae. Not sure why this has happened this year as the pond has been working for many years with just a yearly clean out. External filter gets cleaned more frequently.
Having to pull the pump out several times I have found the hose extremely hard to bend and acts virtually like a steel rod. It now comes diagonally up to the side of the pond and out to the filter which looks very unsightly. The in pond length of the hose is about 2 metres and the pond depth is 1 metre.
Is there an alternative solution for the hose which is much more flexible and easy to position?
