plumbing issue on diy filter
hi just looking for a little help. i have plumbed a diy plant filter into my eazy pod but the flow into to container doesnt keep up with the return pump which is after the container(plant filter) i'm guessing the length from the floor going up to the container is slowing it down too much. also the container doesn't fill up very high without the pump on. don't be shy at ripping my effort to bits lol and if its too much to sort I can scrap the diy plant filter for now and just plumb straight into my return pump from my eazy pod. any help appreciated.

I think some more pictures might help.
Any flow relying on gravity would need to be bigger pipe,
Normally 4" on gravity 1 1/2" pumped
And gravity flow needs to be a constant rise or fallLast edited by Simon Fish; 22-10-2020 at 08:42 AM.

Is your Pod gravity fed?
If it is then you need to pump to your second filter, which needs to be above pond surface level to allow a gravity return.2016 new 6000 gallon pond

Running heater at low temp?
Covering the pond with polycarb should be enough to stop water temps dipping below 6C for the most...
