Title: Just sits there and sucks in the dirt
Review: In reading the other reviews before I bought the filter from Amazon, buyers mentioned having to unscrew the lid from the box in order to clean the filter, and obviously needing to screw the lid back on the box afterward. That seemed like so much work! When I received mine there were no screws! The screw holes are in the lid and box, but no screws came with the filter. The lid doesn't snap on, so I keep the lid and box together with rubber bands I get from the morning paper. I'm using the small pump that came with the pond, and it seems to do a pretty good job. I clean the filters weekly, and lots of dirt washes out. Even a few leaves have been sucked into the filter. I'm curious to know how long the filter lasts before it needs replacement. As far as getting it ready to use, be aware that there are pre-punched holes in the filters that will come out in order to fit the water hose from the pump and electrical cord through their places in the lid.
