But cleaning takes only a few minutes and I don't have to stand over it while it's cleaning. i go feed the fish, come back and dump the dirty water, and start the pump back up. Someone asked me for details about my static K1 filter, so I'll start a new thread this evening.
Thanks for the advice....will it work even though I don't have a bottom drain in my settlement chamber? I planed on just putting a solids handling sump pump in it to drain it when it needed it.
