Hi Mike

Long time no talk. Hope all is well. Say Hi to Wilma.

You may want to consider putting a small water meter on in front of your fill line. That would let you know exactly how much water would be going through your carbon filter. I use a small water filter tank ( I bought my tank from a water softner supplier) filled with a cubic foot of activated carbon from AES. One cubic foot of carbon conservatively treats 100,000 gallons. I just change it out when the meter roles over. It has never failed me and our water in Florida is heavily chlorinated. Lucky us

Another thing you might consider instead of messing with the carbon. Attach a hose to the bottom of your fill valve instead of letting the water just run in the pond let it spray through a fogger tip nozzle into the baki shower. The spraying in a fine mist will gas off most chlorine.
