Water Gardening: My pond has water, 1 by caganimalover

My brushes are located behind the net basket and infront of the exit drain and pump that goes to the waterfall. Other words; the brushes are in the middle. The first block is the net that catches the larger items, fish (usually unless they get around it), leaves, twigs, whatever can't fit through the net openings. The particles that get through from the pull of the current from the pump (around the edges or bottom) and next get stuck in the brushes. I still have to clean debri (usually small particles of leaves and twigs) from the bottom of the pump on a regular basis or they clog the pump and slow down the amount of water going to the waterfall. I have purchased some materials to make a finer screen filter that will fit inbetween the other sections to catch fine particles to help keep everything cleaner and decrease the amount of particles that clog the pump.

The brushes we have came with our waterfall set up, but would be fairly easy to create one. Here's a picture.
