How many gph does this pump/filter circulate ? - will your submersible clarifier pump w/uv that pumps up to 800gph do a better job of filtering ?

My pond is small I use the spray nozzle not sure how many gph you get with that. I do like the filter pain to clean.

This pump is more decorative than practical . I have another pump that filters more .I would go with the submersible you mentioned that filters 800 gallons .Hope this helps .

Before we purchased this fountain with a filter and UV light we had 2 waterfall features with filters and our pond turned green anyway. I can't say it will do a better job, but this filter/fountain did an AMAZING job on our pond! Our pond was green when we received it and this filter cleared the water in a matter of days. The pump is a 200 GPH. I hope this helps.

The filter is not going to be a problem. I have this on 9000 gal with 3/4 hp just make sure you leave filter on enough to filter whole pool. Figure gpm that pump does.

Do not buy this type of filter, you need to clean the filter twice a day, UV light not affectedly work due to most of water channeling the other route bypass UV light. After 1 month of used I put my in storage now. Go buy Aqua-clear filter lot of better.

You can see a chart on depth/psi and some additional specs here: http://www.redlionproducts.com/clean-water/4-submersible-well-pumps/Mine is at 100' - I didn't get a chance to measure the gpm on my install, but it seems at least 12 gpm. Of course, my well is a slow artesian so I usually have 100' of head water on top of the pump. But so far it's been a great pump.

I upgraded my pump to the 2500 GPH and just used the standard skimmer. I never had an issue with the skimmer other than bleaching and breakdown of the plastic from the sun. I found that your bang for the buck is with the pumping system not the skimmer.

My last filter went 198 gallons then blew up. However, I think it is our water quality and the age of the system. The first one I used worked for the whole lifr as expected.

No check is necessary. You should expect to see around 20 gpm. See the curve in red.http://www.tsurumipump.com/prods/submersible-pumps/single-phase-pumps/hs-series.aspx

At 8 feet the 91330 & 91335 model will pump about 30 GPM. You can find the "PERFORMANCES" chart in your owners manual on page %. If you don't have your manual, you can download it at http://www.superiorpump.com/Manuals/utility.manuals.html.

Maybe. The pump matters more. At 15,000 gals you probably have a good pump. Your pump has to be rated at between 1500-4000 GPH in order to use this chlorinator. I bought this system to work with my above ground Intex pool and 2650 GPH Intex sand filter pump so connecting it was a breeze. Adapting this unit to an in ground pool may be difficult, I haven't tried it.

Advertised to do 1250-1450 GPH- but that will depend on the depth from which you pump. It is a good pump and buy estimation, I think you can calculate it will pump at least a 1000 GPH from a depth of 10 feet on a continous basis if it is a new pump and a steady electrical flow of 110 V. The weight is due to cast iron. In years past when it was made in Wayne, Ohio and not China, I think it was made of aluminum and very easy to handle.

depends on the lift (how high you are pumping) I am getting about 2500 GPH , but it has a lot more suction for the pool vacum than the little Intex pump and filter I was using. Now have a sand filter and it has plenty of pressure to get the water thru it and room to pump up to the solar on the roof.

The Cdu800 I purchased draws about 8" of water when I use it. There is only about 1 inch more of water that I can draw. I am very satisfied with this as a sump pump in my basement

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

Yes a 1 hp pump is fine. The filter comes with a flow restrictor disc so if your pump exceeds the recommended gpm the disc compensates for that. It's explained in the owners manual.

I would try contacting a service representative from Fluval to present this question to. Perhaps he/she will have advice to make it work as desired, or perhaps recommend a more suitable filter for your system. I know the pump on this is very strong and would most likely still work (possibly not as efficient tho!) as long as both the input and outputs are fully submerged. But I wouldn't risk it without seeking advice from the manufacturer or a true expert in the field.

I have an 18' above ground hard side pool and I only run the filtering system about 4-6 hrs a day, it has a 1hp pump and the system works fantastic

where your tubing to the pump there should be a knob close it to decrease the flow thru the clarifier that should get the fountain working ,it will also help the clarifier if you push the water through it to fast it wont kill off the algae .my filter also floats they all do I just put a river rock on it to hold it down .one more thing if you fountain still does nt work I would just buy a small pump for your clarifier I hope this was helpfull
