Thanks for the info. Going to try to put into practice at my future home. b.t.w. when you said the units were not "english" I think you meant not American. Those are metric or SI units used in many english speaking countries around the world including your giant neighbour to the north. Cheers.

Impressive, thanks for sharing. Anything thought about raising the skimmer higher? to the level of the rocks in an attempt to hide the liner?
@fixerjoe32838 ай бұрын
Can’t go any higher as there is a hole through the liner now. That is one thing I would change.

That looks great 😊 There's a product you might want to look into, called rock-on-a-roll, that you could just drape over the top where the liner is exposed to the sun, & make it a natural transition to the rock. It would prevent UV rays from degrading the liner where it's exposed to the sun above the water. I bought some to wrap around a galvanized stock tank I turned into a pond & to hide the top rails of a semi inground doughboy pool & it's great stuff. It looks like real rock but it doesn't react with anything in the water.

Hi Joe- question. You mentioned in your VID you shocked the pool with chlorine some? Is it safe to assume there is no aquatic life in the pool? Or have you added minnows or anything, and it's such a small amount of bleach it doesn't kill them? We are coming into spring and we have built our poop this past fall, and the water is cloudy. Unsure what to do at this point?
@fixerjoe3283 Жыл бұрын
Aquatic life in the pool is not a good practice. Their waste will add more nutrients for algae and promote harmful bacteria. If you have life in your pool cloudiness could come from ammonia. It takes a while for silt to filter/settle out. I also used some activated carbon in net bags to help clean the water.
@lunark2440 Жыл бұрын
@Fixer Joe the only aquatic life in there are maybe 10 or 15 minnows. I doubt their playing any big factor into the health of the pool. I know a good amount of it is silt that has built up on the bottom and sides. I'm wondering if a partial water change, perhaps letting half tbe amount of water out, and refilling with hose water would be a good idea? The water was clear and healthy and we could see to the bottom, and we turned the waterfall system on and all the leaves and sludge got mixed up and now it's cloudy.
@fixerjoe3283 Жыл бұрын
@@lunark2440 the leaves and sludge will definitely cloud it up. If you can vacuum that definitely helps. Let your pool sit still for a bit so everything settles first. If you don’t have a vacuum. Buy an inexpensive water jet leaf vacuum with a fine mesh bag on it.

is there a weight limit? Ok so for the next car make it a wedge drill out a weight pocket on the back bottom melt the let and poor it in. a normal car is only 5 oz. This looks like its 2 lbs. either way you must sand the axles to 2500 grit paper then polish with an all metal polish. I would bet a normal car with polished axles and light wheels would beat your car. Light wheels is #1 for a faster car vs mass weight.

It might sound like I'm trying to be mean or cruel but I'm not this is meant to be constructive criticism. Get a haircut, drink a little booze b4 recording to relax and make you sound happy instead of reading a script and fu¢k sake BLINK and take a breath now and then.

So glad I found this. I've been hand digging and building one of my own but a much smaller one more for just hanging out in. My concern is the pump. And this may be a really stupid question so I apologize up front but if you submerge a pump in water it means it has electricity going to it right? Does anybody ever get shocked when they go in? I'm probably overthinking this but I finally finished digging and now I've got to think of this next step. I would appreciate anybody giving me some insight on this! And your pond is stunning!
