Pond pump suitable to go in front of bead filter?

Post by MattCarp »

Hi, My pump, a speck badu 42-8 has just broken down so I looking to replace it with something more economical and would like some suggestions. The pump will feed a aquadyne 2.2b bead filter which needs a minimum of 3400gph to back wash it but whilst on normal filter cycle I could go down to 1000gph as my pond is only 2000g. Is there any good 2 speed pumps or super efficient pumps anyone could recommend?
Thanks for any advice, Matt
