trustmissy said:I think I have a similar situation. Our pump filter needed cleaning too often and the pond water was not clear. The people at the pond store told us that we needed another filter that is outside of the pond. But the pump filter still gets clogged up and has to be changed quite often, and the other filter never needs cleaning because the pump filter still ends up doing the filtering. What is the solution?

yes! This is my question exactly! The pump gets clogged up as it sucks up water -that is unfiltered water, THEN it goes through the filter, but um what is the purpose of that? Biological blah blah yes I get that, but that doesn't fix the problem of having actual debris jamming the pump first!
