Bypass filter housing was $39 and cartridges were $8.95 in lots of 6 or more... I change cartridges every quarter so annual cost is $36, chump change for the peace of mind it brings...

Filter is installed on the water supply line just after a flow meter and before a Hudson Auto Fill Valve, all water that goes into the pond is through this line.

John Sprinkle TBT of Naples FL. posted that he had a one cubic foot filter which would handle 100k gallons of water...
