Hey guys, i'm about to make my moms
Preformed Pond 125 Gal koi pond a little bigger. Its going to be 6.75' x 4.75' x 1.33' x 7.48 = about 320 gallons. Really dont know to much about pumps. What kind of pump do you recommended filter the water through the barrel?

I'm confused by the fourth measurement - 6 feet long, 4 feet wide, just over a foot deep? And what's the last one - 7 feet?

Its little under 2 feet deep. The 7.48 is to figure out the volume. Roughly 320 gallons. Sorry for the confusion

ooooohhh! gotcha!

Pond volume is one consideration for pump size. Head is the other - how high does the pump have to push the water?

The water will enter from the bottom of barrel. And go back into pond from top.
