Brilliant Alan. I did exactly the same 25 years ago with a bin. Never had any problems after I made it. Crystal clear water in a 4 square meter pond. The liner finally gave way this year, so a total rebuild on the go. And yes, the trusty wheely bin will be put back into action. Managed to save 25 fish before the water drained away. All crap dug out, 25 years worth. 2 one ton bags of it. New liner, new uv lamp, same old wheely bin.
Yes I have been looking at the idea of a woffal filter inside the pipe which would split the water into 4 flows making it full of more oxygen still working on how to make one.

Good old diy filter. Its a great feeling when you make something cheap and it works well.
Yes been thinking of a 4 compartment brick one at the back of the pond gravity filling and gravity back to the pond.
why is the outlet so low? you're missing a lot of filtration?
The water goes in at the top filters all they way down then comes up the pipe.
