I need a fine mesh net for use in a small pond (about 1000 gal). Is anyone using this for a pond?

I don't use this for a pond but....When this net arrived I was worried about it holding up against twigs and other sharp objects. I have used this for almost a yeat and it shows no sign of wear. If I lost it, I would buy another as soon as possible. Basically, if you can see it floating on the water, however small, this will remove it. The only downsided is it's size. It is only 14 inches across and I would like it to be a bit longer. Perhaps they are making a larger one now.

I have used this net and find it works very well to skim out floating algae. In the hot summertime here in Texas, my koi pond, which is out in the open, sometimes has a serious algae bloom. In the morning, the surface will be clear, but the water is green. By evening, a thick scum of algae will be covering the surface. Just touching it sends it swirling back into the water, but I can scoop it with this net and remove a very large percentage of it.

Hi Ken, I'm not sure of the mesh size but it's pretty small. I used it in costa rica to catch bait fish. I left it there with a friend. It's a small net, you're not going to catch a school of mullet with it but if you're looking for something easy to throw and catches bait fish, this is ideal. If I had to guess on the mesh size, I would say around a 1/4 inch maybe a little more. Spencer

There is a chart on K&H;'s web site that you can use to fugure out what size watts you need for your pond and area.Good luck.

It would be too big in my opinion, unless you are trying for more of a water feature (i.e., no fish). Pump size required to get good flow would be pretty big in a 100 gallon pond. I would go for a smaller waterfall.

It will be sufficient if you have 5 or less fish, and there is not a lot of direct sunlight on the pond. My pond was full sun all afternoon and 5 fish, I needed to clean my filter more often then one a friend had in a shaded pond of 1000 gallons in the shade same number of fish.

I agree with Jason, if not, I used a few bricks under mine and I also took the head off...if you leave it on and get a good wind,, it can blow a lot of water right out of a small pond..had it happen a couple times. It's a nice little set up tho and easy to maintain and not too pricey

This pump will produce a bubble out flow surface about 8-9 ft in diameter that obscures viewing. It might be a bit large for 1000 gallons pond. We find it works well for our 6000 gallon pond.

The mesh bag is designed to catch large debris. The finer particles can be collected by your pond filter. I leave the small debris on my lawn, as it is good fertilizer.

sorry, it just send by it's self. I have a 1000 gallon pond that is 2 feet deep. Again, it did not work.

I don't see why not; however, it may take some time as you say your pond is large and I merely used it to transfer fuel from a riding mower to a can. I would recommend perhaps beginning with a wet/dry vac then as you near the bottom, then use this item.

Yes, just choose a net with smaller mesh openings and you'll be fine. 1/4inch or smaller! Regards

Yes I think it would be too big. You need to enlarge you pond; then it would be fine. :)

I dont think the size of the pond matters that much. Youre not trying to heat the pond, youre just trying to keep a hole in the ice. What would matter more is how cold it is where you live. If you live in Minnesota, you probably want a stronger wattage than if you live in New Jersey, because you will need a stronger heater to keep the ice from freezing around it.

The 10x10 should be fine it will give you some slack at the bottom that folds away from you and will catch the worm burners you hit...you will not be disappointed with this net.

Yes, this will work in a lake. The anchors are small bags you load with rocks which you tie to the net. The materials are strong. Ours lasted the entire summer and is stored for use next season.

My pond is an outdoor pond. I would honestly say that the filter system is definitely sufficient. I wouldn't mind having a slightly larger one though.
