After 3 months of 24/7 running, my pump died. Got another one yesterday and we're up and running again. This one is a 1.5 hp and will produce about 12gpm or about 700gph.
I used a ball valve and set it at about 90% flow, hoping this will not stress the motor too much. Is this a good idea???
A neighbor gave me this structure so I'll take it out in my boat and "plant" it this eve...



Just do it...
