[Worldwide Koi Club] Can someone please help this dummy lol-pump ?
Barbara,
I would say you are fine. I have a CalPump 5500 with a 4000 gal pond and an 8 foot waterfall and everything works fine. You might get by on less but what counts as to too much as how long the water stays in the filter and the UV. I’m not familiar with yours. Anyway there is a simple easy test. If your water is clear and the chemistry is good then it’s working with no problem. YOu don’t have to do any math to know.
