The clogging issue you mentioned is the problem I've read about the most... Before I purchase our second Bead last year I spoke to Gary Cryer of G Tec and he also recommended a vortex before the bead...But because of space constraints, I elected to go without it and still haven't had a problem...
I will say that both our B filters are rated for double the pond size...went that route because the cost difference was negligible and I've always felt that you can't have too much filtration...
Getting back to your friend...what kind of fish load does he have...I've always wondered if the clogging was do to overloading the pond and therefore the filter... Is this the case here...
Thanks for your input...
