Review:
I purchased the 4.4 in the summer of 2007 for an 8000-gallon pond. I plumbed it directly from a W. Lim bottom drain. I used the Sequence 6600 to run it. The air agitator kit was warped after a week. I called the owner, who simply stated that it's a "normal occurrence" due to the heat here in Texas. Anyway, it worked well initially, but clogged frequently the following summer. I made lots of phone calls to the company, and the owner tried to help troubleshoot the problem. To make the long story short, it continued to clog, so I decided to buy the "Big Daddy" filter. That completely solved the problem. My impression is that this product is a good product, but you'd better have a settlement chamber if you plumb it from a bottom drain. Otherwise, the heavy sludge will really be too much for it to handle. I've switched it to filter my skimmer, and it's worked fine. I'd probably go with the Aquabead, since the cost is similar. A friend of mine has the Medusa, and it's great.
