I don't know anything about pond pumps, piping/plumbing or electricity, co please bear with me.
My project:
Small in-ground preformed pond, 18'' deep, 50 gallons
For bog filter: preformed liner, 15'' high, 19'' bottom and 24'' top diameter, 20 gallons
The 'bog' will be semi-buried/elevated 8'' above water surface. Filtered water will return to pond thru small preformed waterfall.
So I guess (again, I don't know anything about how it works) the water will need to be lifted 26'' (pond bottom + edge of the 'bog'), then go down to the 'bog', lifted again to the top of the waterfall = 15'' of the 'bog' total height.
If I understand well what I read so far, I need at least 100GPH pump to handle 50 gal pond, but I need to take into account the water lifting as well, so the pump will have to be bigger, right?
Thanks in advance!
