Message: [QUOTE="sissy, post: 388288, member: 2982"] there is still muck because of pollen and other stuff pulled into it from rain .My neighbor thought the same thing when he built his pondless water feature .Then with in 2 months his pump started even clogged up with stuff .Anything can get in it from wind and rain .He has since ordered a laguna pump because it has a cage around it and he also got his electric bill with the other one and it was a shocker .The pump he bought after I put it on my watt tester was using 560 watts and looked it up and that is what it should use or at least around there .He never thought about watts used until the bill came in .Mine is 2900 gph and uses 65 watts and it is a laguna and his is only 1500 gph .The cleaner the pump is and the bigger the hose is the less energy it uses ,at least with laguna [/QUOTE]
