Pond size pump filter

[Optima1991]

Hi all I’ve got a 10ft long x 6ft wide 2ft deep pond,I’m running a 6500 lph pond pump into a 15w uv light and through a hozelock 5000 filter box have I got a good size pump for the size of my pond.

@Optima1991 Your pond is about 900 gals and then I converted lph 6500 to 1717 gph. They say to have a pump that is twice the size of your water volume so you are not bad. I think I did this right. If not someone will chime in and fix it for me.
