Chromobotia;4365655; said:I had 2 Snapper pumps on my 500 and the water never cleared up entirely. I was told my turnover rate probably wasn't sufficient and that a Hammer Head pump would do a better job. It's interesting that you are only using one pump. I thought I was told I need 2 pumps, maybe I mis-understood.
I am running 4 sock filters off of 2-1.5" return lines. I have a 50 micron filter bag inside of a 100 micron filter bag. I have to change them out about once ever week. I also don't run my pump wide open, I have the ball valve at about 1/4 closed...that is all I need. I agree with the others, though, you can probably find a pond pump cheaper...I just happened to stumble upon the reeflo for cheap so I got it.
