In many cases you can install the sludge pump permanently at the bottom of the Koi Clear and just plug it in to pump out the waste. The pipe from the sludge pump should rise above the water level so that you do not have a leak when sludge pump is not in use.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Matala","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50614637035818,"sku":"KC105C","price":1299.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0824\/3717\/7642\/files\/koi-clear-105_14845dbe-62bd-4a0a-8267-a9a62656f7dd.jpg?v=1758202738","url":"https:\/\/www.koiandmorepondshop.com\/products\/matala-koi-clear-vortex-filter-v-105-w-3-matala-pads","provider":"Koi \u0026 More Pond Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
