In trying to place the pump at the end of the filtration system. This way the pump is not breaking up poop and getting clogged with feathers. A pre-filter could be used of course, but that just keeps bio mass in the pond rather than filtering it out.

My pond is in the ground and 4ft deep. A gravel vacuum works by means of gravity siphon. I would need a lower elevation to drain to, which I don't have. I pump the water out.
