Hello all- I've been unable to get in touch with Zac over the last 4-5 months to purchase his large sieve. The way my pond is designed, the easiest modification for mechanical filtration would be a pre pump filter.
My current setup- The pond exit line goes over the liner (with check valve in pond) directly to the pump, then to a modified pool filter with plastic media, then to UV and back to pond. My filter isn't able to keep up with smaller debris.
I'm wondering if there are any DIY Zakki-type pre pump filters? Or anything on the market I'm unaware of? Another thought of mine was to somehow make a pressurized sand and gravel filter, but I'm thinking that would not work.
Does anyone have any thoughts? My only alternative at this point is to cut into the liner and make it a gravity based system that flows into a sieve, but my line is only 2", so I'm unsure if I would get enough flow out of that.
Thanks!
