Can I use this for my Koi pond?

This meter will measure salt level in water used in ponds or swimming pools.

Yes you may. I have a 7' by 7' pond and this is an amazing apparatus. The only problem is you need a lighter weight hose to attach to your regular hose to make it easier to use. I found the regular hose was too hard to use. My husband suggested the lighter weight hose to attach and it made all the difference in the world. (I still use some chlorine to keep the algae down) I simply purchased the small floating deal on Amazon to keep the chlorine in so I don't have to deal with it daily.

I have used this net and find it works very well to skim out floating algae. In the hot summertime here in Texas, my koi pond, which is out in the open, sometimes has a serious algae bloom. In the morning, the surface will be clear, but the water is green. By evening, a thick scum of algae will be covering the surface. Just touching it sends it swirling back into the water, but I can scoop it with this net and remove a very large percentage of it.

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.

No, I have two of these over my Koi pond and the plants are bigger and thicker than ever. My koi are protected from flying prey and it keeps the sun off our studio in the mornings. All plants are thriving. We have ours at about the 10' height.

Ours is used in a five foot diameter sugar kettle we use as a fish pond. It is on a timer and only runs a few hours a day. It provides great filtration for our needs. The water stays clear and the fish, goldfish and koi, are healthy.

We use ours for our pond but I should think it would work in any water. It is quite handy.

Good question which I don't really know the answer to. I would think it would say something to that effect on the product web site. Personally I wouldn't. I'm assuming you have a koi or goldfish type pond. Fish are extremly delicate to PH and chemical changes and unless the product stated it was specific to repairing those type of uses, I would shy away from it. That stuff is pretty expensive too. I would suggest getting rubber liner specific for ponds and just reline the existing pond. This is what I did w/ my koi pond leak.

My pond is just a little under 100 gal. it works perfectly. So the answer is no.

We have a 300 gallon coi pond. I really think we need a bigger filter. So this filter would just about right for 100 gallons. But this is only my opinion and I am not a fish pond expert.

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.

yes. buttttttt. i would not recommend this product. it didn't catch as much debris as i wanted even though it was rated for a large pond. it also came loose and i lost all of my pond water:( rating scale 1-5.....a "0"

NO it should work nicely, this is an awesome pump, our pond is about the same and it works great!

Yes, I think it would clog up and no, you can't open it and clean it. Funny you ask because mine just died. Little Giant is the best you can buy, just not this one for your pond.

I'm using mine as a bio filter for my koi pond and thought it would be handy to have the drain so I could empty it at the end of fall when I shut the pond down. If it hadn't leaked at the bulkhead the drain would have been a plus for that reason.

I do not know about koi fish. check with the manufacturer to determine this.
