Hello again!
Pond specs- Main pond 15'x10'x4', header pond 6'x5'x12"
I am going to start the dig Thursday May 10. As I was laying things out last night, I begin to think that I will hide my pump behind the biofilter. However, everything I have read, says that the pump should be as close to the source as possible. The pump (external) will be at or below water level, wherever I decide to put it.
Here is the question, Is 22 feet with a 30" rise to the filter to far to draw water from effectively? Sorry, I do not have the specs on the pump at hand. Oddly enough, I do have a few pics.
My secondary location is about 6 feet from the skimmer off to the side.
I have added a picture to show the general layout.
I have plenty of stone and plants to hide the pump wherever it ends up.
Your feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks
