Would a 390 or 450 gph pump be too small for this filter? I have a 300 gallon stock tank pond. Outflow would be about 18" from water surface.

I got the Tetra pond 1900 if you want water to flow you need it to pump up hill or it will only trickle and you will not have any real flowing water.I have a small 150 gallon pond and got this box that pump and the piping and works great. I have used a lot of pumps and this the best others Were way to small.

Instruction sheet says: "PUMP RECOMMENDATIONS Use with pumps between 500 and 4500 gallons per hour"

Yes too small. It's designed for 1000 gph pump. I have 2 of them running off of a 3000 gph pump and works great

welcome, would love to see a pic...sable120@hotmail.com. I quit working on mine grins... the waterfall is sitting on the edge of the pond now. I stole the stones I had around it to finish the patio. Need to buy more this summer.

I don't think so. My pond is roughly the same size with a drop of about 3 feet from the top of the waterfall to the bottom of the pond. It has worked perfectly. I have had a couple of other smaller pumps before this on and I am so glad I switched. This pump has been amazing. It rarely if ever needs cleaning and it keeps my pond very clean. I think you would be very happy with this pump.

As long as the GPH is correct going out of the filter and into the chiller I do not see any reason why it would be a problem. A pump is a pump no matter where it is. One thing you could consider is shortening or adding more length to your tubes to increase/decrease the water flow rate to match the chillers needs. The only thing you are going to need is some extra tubing and clamps to seal leaks. The setup would like this: Tank -> filter intake -> tube to filter -> tube from filter outtake into chiller intake -> tube from chiller output out back into the tank.

I believe so what size is your pool? I think my filter is also 530 gph. I think this skimmer works really well. Helped my pool erroneously.

Hello Thomas, Thank you for your inquiry. This is what we recommend. We generally recommend that on average, you turn over your aquarium volume four times per hour. This means that if you have a 30 gallon tank, you need a pump and filter with flow rates of around 120 gph. so if your tank is 120 gallons then a 480 gph. This is a suggestion of course. We hope that you have found this answer helpful. Thank you, Gabriela

This pump will work. However, it would be more efficient to go with a bigger filter.

I should add I have a 425 and a 240 plus the 240 flow from the filter pump ... If you don't want corals you may be able to get away with just a 240

I use a G90 on a 55gal tank. You should always use a larger filter than required on a given size tank. Bigger is better.

I have an in ground pool size 18 x 36, 3 feet deep at the shallow end and 8 feet deep at the deep end. I have been using this type of filter since the pool was built in 1986. I have always and only used a 1 HP pump and my pool is sparkling clean. Finally, a DE filter is considered to be the best for filtration, even better than a sand filter.

I have a 1200 Gal pond. I use the External water pump branded "Turbo-Sea", model 1740-P for Laguna 2100 UVC filter.

We do not recommend this size filter for a pool of your size. Get a larger filter. 1hp pump is fine though.

Yes. This filter turns over up 1500 gallons per hour. That's why it's called a 1500. I have a Laguna 2400 pump that's connected to this filter. My pond is 300 gallons, soon to be

I am using this pump on a 30 gallon long it works well. I wish i would have bought the next size up and turned the flow down

I think so as I have 3.5HP pump and ~25K gallon pool. I was replacing the same/very similar filter that the previous home owner let go bad.

Hard to say. I have a 1200 gph pump and it really flows and gurgles. Just ensure the pump discharge size matches the filter outlet. You can always install in outlet to bleed off excess pressure

Website says it is rated at 450GPH and good for a tank up to 265 gallons. Of course that will depend on the length of your inlet/outlet tubing and how much filter media you pack into it. .

I recommend you call Hayward tech service and ask for their recommendation. (You can find their number by going to their web site. They had recommended the filter in question to be used with my 11/2 hp above ground pool Hayward pool pump)
