| Not to enflame to discussion,
I would never use any of the modern gimmicks on my pond unless i had very little space for a filter footprint. The cost of these things is phenomenal and not justified in my persoal opinon.
I have a 6000 gallon pond (inc filters) and my filtration is traditional. If it ain't broke don't fix it as they say.
Here goes,
12ft x 2.5ft x 3ft settlement chamber - 2ft x 2.5ft x 3ft brushes chamber - 3ft x 1.5ft x 3ft Kaldness K1 chamber (fluidised) - and finally 3ft x 1.5ft x 3ft chamber of Jap Matting. 2 x sequence 10,000 return via over the wall returns.
Pond vac the settlement one a month and rinse the brushes in pond water - JOB DONE. Takes about half hour.
Guess i am lucky to have the space to block build my own filters. They work a treat and are pretty much maintenance free. Parameters are excellant and water is GIN clear.
