What is the cage made of?
Also, I noticed one more thing that increased the pump flow rate a noticeable amount.
I set the plumbing up so that the water being lifted in minimalized. It flows up to the highest point and Then makes the split. This decreases the amount of weight of water that has to be lifted.
I first had the plumbing (before I moved from the previous house) coming up out of the tank with the split at the bottom of the beds.... then hid the plumbing so that it looked nicer.
However, I now have it going to the top of the bed height and then splitting. Debris no longer settles into the plumbing over time... and the pump now has enough force... to force any/all debris through the flow control valve's gap. Keeping the flow rate constant.
