Can I use this for 100 gallon outside pond?

This filter is designed to be used indoors so,if you want it outdoors you have to think how to protect it from rain, sun and dust.Second. If filter is placed at the same level of pond surface or above the level of ponds surface, it wont work out becuse this device is meant to be below a tank, it uses gravity to prime, so being at the same level or above the level of water it wont suck water in.Cheers.

It depends on the fish. If you have guppies or smaller live bearers, then yes. Goldfish/koi is a nogo, though.

Yes, except the skimmer sits outside the edge of the pond. You have to dig outside the edge of the pond. The water level sits an inch our so below the very top of the opening in the front. You cut a hole in your liner and attach the liner around the skimmer intake. This allows the skimmer to sit outside the pond.

You could, but you might be better off with a pump that stays out of the water to be pump.... that way you don't get your feet wet. E.g a Teel pump with an "in " hose (out of the pond) and an "out" hose (onto the lawn). teelpumpcatalog.com

Sorry, I initially posted the wrong comment to a different product question.... For my zone (3) I believe it requires 250w for a pond less than 100 gallons. 750w for a pond 100 to 750. Check with the manufacturer to be sure. Hope this helped.

My pond is about 12x12x3-- I use one all year, including winter (put it in shallow area) and this summer when temps peaked 100 I added a second, which helped a lot. I think they work extremely well- get the ring bubbler, it does better than the attachment that comes with the pump.

i am sure it would work if you dont let debris get in it at the pump. This is a 12 volt pump so you would need a power converter or a battery closeby. There are 120volt pumps for ponds that are made for this kind of work that might be more appropriate.

Yes you can. I think that this is a very good skimmer. I have it on a 1,000 gallon pond and use a 1,000 gph pump in it. It catches most of the debris but not all. A bottom drain in the pond will be an excellent addition with this simmer. The simmer will clean the surface and a bottom drain will help with the muck.

No. It was way too feeble for my 50,000 gal pond system, but I don't think it is possible to have too much aeration. As someone else mentioned, you can always hook up extra air stones.

I suppose you could but not very handily because you would have to dump the tank very frequently unless your pond is dry.

Don't know if this item would be satisfactory for that, think you might want something larger. I used my rock fountain as an add on to my outside fish pond I actually draw water from the fish pond and it runs over the bottom back into the fish pond. Instead of it being self contained it is now part of the pond the water cascading over each level and back into the pond is awsome

The pond kit may be used above ground as long as you have support around the entire outside. Otherwise, it will collapse under the weight of the water.

No, it should be fine. These heaters have an adjustable settings. I have a 300 watt for my 90 gallon fish pond and have it set at 80 degrees. It kept the water warm and prevented it from freezing during the winter.

Yes, that is exactly why I purchased mine. My inground pond holds about 100 gallons of water. As earlier stated, you might need to remove some water from your pond after cleaning as it constantly fills up while you are vaccuming.

Don't know what your set up is , but this is used in a plastic holder which goes on the suction end of the pump. My pond is around 400 gal. I use this filter just under the water line to filter junk out and change it two times a day.

Yes, I have this in my Lowes 200 gal. kidney shaped pond. I live in Florida. This is a very high maintenance item. I am constantly clearing the pump and cleaning the tank. It works.

Depending on your area of the country! I live in SW AZ and have a 2500 gallon pond. 40 watts was not enough. And I had troubles with this. I now went to 2 55 watt jaebo? or something like that. I would say if you have an algae issue, you may need more also. I don't believe too much uv filter would hurt anything, except keep your pond very clean.
