Koi USA Magazine
Product Rating:
Review:
Some articles good, some not so much. Generally has an article focusing on one variety of koi, several koi show winners to look at, and some articles that are seasonal or product related (ie heaters in winter). Its a quick read since most of the magazine is advertising. No articles discussing pros/cons of different pond products since they don't likely want to alienate any advertisers. Lots of nice pictures of Koi you probably won't find at your local garden center.

Tetra 2-inch Vacuum Drain

Review:
Does what it should if you have a lot of flow (2000GPH +) which may be too much for your bio filter. Not a good item for gravity flow. I attached mine to no kink pipe and can move it around a little if needed to vacuum difficult areas. I have had rocks get stuck in the elbow. Frogs seem to like to go through it too, so you have to check your leaf basket daily.
If building a pond, skip this and buy a 4" BD and gravity flow it to your first chamber.

Review:
I have the two speed Performance Pro. Love it. Since my pump sits a bit higher than water level I can use the higher speed to get the pump going, and switch to lower speed for normal running. High speed is also great for doing quick water changes and back-washing filters.
I had installed 90Degree turns just before the pump and had some cavitation issues when starting after temporary loss of power. Removing these and adding a check valve a few feet from the pump greatly improved its self priming ability.

Review:
Great pre-filter and does exactly as advertized. I use it as pre-filter before my bog/waterfall. You can see the dead algae and other junk accumulate so you know when to empty it. You can see the color of the water passing through it especially if you have pea soup or have treated the water with colored medications.
Assembly and maintenance is easy. No noticeable back pressure or loss of water flow.
