Wh does my filter clog so fast I have 4 pond fish in 33 gal?

the filter is good for 55 gallons but clogs in about 2 weeks my fish range from 4-7 inches. We will be moving soon and will build a new pond but in the mean time how can I keep it cleaner

Your system is overloaded. Too many fish in too small a space. Cleaning the filter every two weeks isn't that fast a pace anyway. I clean my filters every week. I would feed the fish less and clean the filter more often.
Reply:What kind of fish are they? Either way, you said pond fish. If you have ANY pond fish in a 33 gallon that is too much.





EDIT: I just saw you said it clogs in 2 weeks. Every filter should be cleaned weekly.
Reply:Probably feeding too much , try feeding once a week or even 10 days.
Reply:Pond fish tend to make more of a mess than aquarium fish do. For that reason, it may be wise to clean it more frequently. Best bet is to clean it when it appears to need it, rather than waiting for a specific time.
Reply:You could add another filter to the system. You could have one filter at each end of the tank.
Reply:Because you have too many, and too large of fish for the tank. You are also likely feeding too much as well.
Reply:that will hold them until you can get new pond, just clean your filter every week
