Bog filter for the pool pond. It's planted with taro, canna, bacopa and chocolate mint. I had a bad pythium outbreak in it last season and I think that's why the cannas look like crap. Worried about another outbreak when it gets warmer. Before the pythium, this filter turned my green 18,000 gallon pool crystal clear. Now it's clear about 3 ft down.

How do you circulate the water from the pond to the filter?

A submersible pond pump in the deep end pumps to a manifold of slotted pipe in the bottom of the bog filter, it then flows up through the pea gravel and gravity flows/siphons back to the pool. This is how I built it: https://texasecofarms.com/pool-to-pond-the-bog-filter/ #grownostr
