I just finished filling a pond I renovated and lined with recycled billboards. It is about 90' X 40' X 4' deep with a very irregular shape. I calculated a rough volume at 70,000 gallons.
I was given a brand new Pentair variable speed pump that is the largest they make as well as the largest Triton sand filter housing & multi valve. I've read conflicting information about using pool pumps & sand filters in ponds but being I have both I am hoping I can utilize them. I am fairly sure I can use the pump for circulation/aeration if nothing else & would like input on this as well as application for the filter.
This is a low budget project so I'd like to adapt these free items instead of purchasing new. I do not have fish currently that I am concerned about so some trial & error interests me to try & make the pump & or filter viable prior to stocking it with a relatively small number of "plain" Koi.
Thanks for ideas.
