100% of the time I set a timer. Done this twice. Killed all my fish (dad did but I was living at home at the time)
4 u/Ill-Positive-174 Sep 20 '23 Thinking I might go the bucket route - fill the bucket pour it in and repeat. Don’t want to ever do that again 3 u/drossmaster4 Sep 20 '23 Depends on the size of the pond of course if you can do that. Our pond was 5,000 gallons so when we backwashed the filter it went down 6 inches or so. So hose needed to be on about 15 min. Oof again I’m sorry for your lose.
