We have recently been working on our pond, basically it has been left to ruin for 7 years and the pond was literally full of waste on the bottom, this has all been cleared and the water remains crystal clear, we now are trying to get the filter system working!!!
I have little knowledge of filter systems so this is where you guys come in!
As I understand it we have a 4 tank gravity fed pond filter system, the problem we have is no water appears to be going into the filter system...
Here is a video to explain more and show you what I mean!!!

Hopefully this will explain how I understand it to work, the previous home owner said the 2 valves together do not need to be open.
We have not run the filter for no more than 10-15 secs as we were worried about damaging the filter with no water going through it or do we have to run it for longer in order to draw the water up that black pipe leading into the filter?
Your help is appreciated!
