BAKKI style pond filter

OK better flow for sure...
spot the changes?

Zen. I am curious if you are still not losing some flow with the smaller pipe that is running up the sides. Have you thought about replacing that too?

I take that back, should run fine because you have to 3/4" pipes. 1 1/2" is about as big as you can go.

If I can find some 1/4"-20 stainless cap head bolts .50" long, I'm going to remove all the Crosses except the 2 on the bottom.
I'm going to replace them with 1 1/4" crosses and go straight 1 1/4" verts and spray bar. I'll have to reduce the horizontals down to 3/4" for the legs....
I got these to bolt the trays at the desired level...

OK loaded the bottom tray...it is only .50" off the surface of the water...
It contains 84 scrubbies...

i just have one suggestion/concern...the way the pump is situated. it seems as though the "purified" water is dumping right on top of the pump, only to be recycled thru the filter again.

wouldnt it be more effecient to place the pump on the opposite end of the pond/pool??
