I integrated parts of the Skippy filter design when building my own DIY filter setup; although I used 55-gallon plastic barrels instead of a Rubbermaid stock container. I generally only backwash my filter chambers once or twice a year. I test my water weekly for ammonia, nitrites, nitrates, and PH. So far, I've got no complaints. Of course, I have over 500 gallons of filter area for a 2,500-gallon pond. This helps to minimize my pond maintenance chores...
