It comes with two union joints for inlet and outlet, as well as a union for the waste line. After gluing in the pre-filter I merely reversed the flow direction of the check valve and re-installed it and the original piping inline on the out flow side. this however led to several joints that were screwed in that leaked.  I spent another 15 minutes twisting the piping and making the joints tighter. I may just redo the outflow circuit at a later date to simplify it. The image shows the pre-filter attached to my performance pro pump as well as all the plumbing going and coming from the pump area. <\/p>\n<p>The system has been running for about 2 hours and there is a light layer of particles on the bottom of the filter&#8217;s clear base. I stirred the muck around the bottom drain and it went straight though to the filter. Some of the really light gunk still seems to flow back up and out but the larger pieces definitely fell to the bottom or swirled around a while.  It may take days to notice a real difference in clarity of water. Especially since I keep finding more leaves and muck on the bottom of the pond. I wish I had plumbed an extra bulkhead for a pool vac.<\/p>\n<p>See comments for updates.
