I was expecting to see bubbles of water or did you have it off and also can't see the holes in the pipe are they that small .The pond does look clear .

Neat! Your water looks great, happy fish. That would be difficult to do in my pond, but not impossible.

Venturi not good in this application causes to much distortion ,sweep ,modified slightly added suction raised chamber to keep sand out adjusted hole sizes to stabilize even current at two different depth of ponds ,and added back flush ports just in case ,if ever will probably be algea , final filteration is that good .real happy camper .
