I have a 3200 gal pond and want to use this only as a fountain. What size should I get if not using it to connect to a filter system?

I use this pump for filtering a 500 gal kio pond. It also has a fountain and waterfall running. This pump supplies plenty of water for both. I don't know how big of a fountain you are using but this pump has worked for me. I would recommend getting this pump.

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.

The size of a uv clarifier will mainly depend on your pump size if you already have one. A 10 watt submersible uv is ok for a 650 gallon pond but you want to make sure you connect it will a pump that is 700 gph or less. If you waterfall feature requires a larger pump you can use a large uv clarifier. The pondmaster submersible 40 watt uv clarifier can be used with 1.5" tubing and a pump that is no more than 3,000 gph, it will work for ponds that are 6,000 gallons or less.

My pond is about 800 gals and this unit is good for aeration not filtration. You need to also add a good volume pump and separate filter unit.

I use this setup and my pool is 24' round and holds around 13,000 gallons of water. U might want to look at smaller filter.

I don't think you can have too big. This has a nice flow, is a great price. My pond is bigger but this would be perfect for you as well....

I have a 1200 Gal pond. I use the External water pump branded "Turbo-Sea", model 1740-P for Laguna 2100 UVC filter.

Easy answer: this filter ships with various connectors to attach the 1" hose (I use the adapter that is 1" barbed to 1/2" threaded-- attached to the pump inlet)... pond pumps vary in their inlet configurations... if your pump will (through an adapter, maybe) take a 1" hose, I'd think it'd work perfectly fine. As James points out, though, this is a "pre-filter," not an actual filter. To appropriately clean your pond, you probably need more thorough mechanical filtration, and you definitely want something that at least has some biological filtration (and a UV sterilizer is also definitely helpful).

I use these in my fountain for cats, or small dogs. Don"t know what size the filters are in larger models

I would think it would be large enough. I have a 300 gallon pond and it gives out plenty of air.

I am using it on a 11.5K gallon in ground with a 3/4hp pump. no problems whatsoever. the hayward site offers tips on determining size. this one was a bit bigger, i could have gone with a C900, but this filters more water in a shorter timeframe. You want to be sure it will circulate your entire pool in 10 hours. One note, you can go somewhat bigger on a cartridge filter, but dont do it on a sand filter.

In your case I would probably get the bigger filter. My pool is only 10,000 gallons and it does great but does require occasional back washing as the pressure goes up around 10 lbs. the bigger one should allow longer in-between back washing.

We would recommend the C4030 for your size pool. We always recommend going one size larger on a filter so as to make sure the water in the pool stays crystal clear without having to do much maintenance on the filters.

They say its a Debris handling pump but I still use a wire mesh surround because the pump can slow down and clog with too much debris. The debris handling feature doesn't mean you can eliminate cleaning your filters. This pump filters 3600 gallons per hour. I use it on a 5500 gallon pond. I have two filtration tanks each with 6 filters (3 course and 3 fine) that measure 2 square feet each. I have to clean the tanks and filters at least every 4 weeks in the Spring and Summer and 6 weeks in the Fall and Winter.

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.

Pretty small for that. You would need a 3/4 HP pump with at least a 75 sq ft filter to be happy.

I use my pump for filtering pond water. It is very effective on a 1000 gal pond. I believe it would behave equally well. It pumps 1500 gal per hour. If your numbers are correct than it would cycle your pool water once every hour. You will be running it more than you wish though. Purchase a 2nd filter for quick change. Wash the old one off.
