Does this just slip over the pump? I need something to keep the debris from clogging up my outdoor (small) pond pump. (140)

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.

No, it fits in TetraPond 26579 Cylinder Prefilter for Water Garden Pumps. Works well, easy to clean and saves me cleaning the gravel/charcoal filter so often.

It is a prefilter....it slips over the intake tube... The intake tube is about five inches long and this slips over that... It works very well.

Unfortunately I cannot help here. I had bought this for an aquarium just to see if it would help. It was too large. Good luck with your searching.

No, It fits over the pre-filter It does remove easily , It works well , a bit messy to remove it when you clean it. I liked to keep an extra one on hand , so would have a clean one to switch to each time ( replace the messy one with the clean one, saved me time. ) It did really well with my small pond/. Unfortunately, I made a move a few months ago. and could not bring my pond with me , so have it no longer

It will possibly splash over using that shallow of pot. There is an adjustment on the pump to lessen the flow. I use mine outside, so any spill-over doesn't bother me.

dont know probably the water keep flowing hope it waters ur yard. I anchored mine to a plywood square just so it would not move around i guess i solved the overturning problem without meaning to. Works great. Good luck w urs

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.

The flow is not adjustable. The size of pump depends on the lifting requirement for your pond flow.

I think that is how big my fish pond is and it works great. The only other recommendation I would have is to get a filter box for the pump so doesn't get stopped up with debris.

I don't think it would work to have pump in the skimmer? I installed my skimmer at the edge of the pond at water level. My pump is not an underwater pump. I have it set up just like a swimming pool and it works awesome!!

Yes it should. There is a lint strainer that you can remove and clean. The lint cover is on the top of the pump and is easily accessible

No, but I've found that the weight of the unit once the water is in it will stay in place with just a piece of the rubber non-slip under it and a bungee cord. And that's in a camper on a 4-wheel drive truck that I've taken down some very rough roads. I've splashed water out but the unit stays in place.

Yes. That's what the blue foam collar that is on the main tube is there to do. It is designed to keep the pump afloat.

As long as the intake basket is submerged the pump works fine. As soon as the water only covers half the basket the pump still pumps water out of the pool cover but it also sucks air. At this point I usually unplug the pump. My pump right now is submerged under ice because I forgot to remove it before the freeze, but I am confident that come Spring and the ice thaws I can just plug in my pump and it start pumping again. It is a great little pump.

it will probably work for holding the water in the pond. I used it for my basement to keep the water out and it started to lift from the pressure.

I've got an old version of the Navigator. "Classic style" we'll call it. Mostly it works. You can't put the pool cover on. It doesn't suction hard in my pool, but that may be something to do with my pump or valves. It seldom gets tangled up, but once in a while I have to go and unwind the two. I also got the inline filter before it sucked up leaves and crap and sent it through to my regular pump filters.

This doesn't connect to your pump or filter section. This hangs over the side of the pool. The instruction say to place in near the intake of the pool but I placed it close to where the water exits from the pimp and it works fine. Regarding the problem with the plug, I didn't have any issues with the plugs. The installation was quick and easy.

Yes it does. I usually dampen the surface underneath for extra staying power, but it does not slip.

No pre-filter is used with the debris handling pump and that is the beauty of this pump. hose it off to get rid of leaves and algae. It is a high volume pump for my pond so I put a TEE in to send half the water through an above ground positive pressure pond filter and the other side fills a jug full of rocks and bio balls that overflows into the pond.

Yes, it does. At the end of the discharge hose, you attach a large mesh pouch (included). The discharge hose is in the pond, and the water comes out the bag while the fine mesh screens most of the particles from going through the bag back into the pond with the filtered water. I recommend that you use a large rubber band around the bag rather than just relying on the drawstring. Also, make sure you watch the bag carefully as when the mesh becomes blocked with debris, the water can't exit anymore and the bag will pull away from the hose, dumping the unfiltered water and the contents of the bag back into the pond. Finally, make sure that the intake hose is level with the vacuum. The intake hose doesn't function well if it is even slightly upstream of the vacuum. Also, the vacuum must be on fairly level ground as the vibrations of the water rushing in and out will cause the vacuum to tip over. If you have rocks around your pond like I do, it's difficult to get the vaccuum level.
