This pond would look amazing with a rill

[@timmorel79]

Good Vid with that said - a Snorkel and centipede would be a home run ?

[@PutsPonds]

Great idea, eliminate the pressurized filter all together then Tim?

Out of curiosity why don't you like to use the UV light?

[@PutsPonds]

It’s not that UV lights don’t work, we just choose to create ecosystem ponds without killing algae… once algae is killed off by UV lights, it’s dead algae and turns into added nutrients in ponds, the same nutrients needed for algae to thrive… plus we build here in Michigan and if uv lights are not removed during winter months they freeze and crack.

The water in the bowl moves too fast. I'd do do a diff feature but put the bowl somewhere else and have a larger bio filtration elsewhere and run the water back to the pond in a rill but slow the water down. Or do one raised above ground filtration bay with plants have it in tiers or connect with a Chanel, rill, runnel whatever it's called.

Since this video went live we… - added a pressurized filter behind the existing shrubs. - ball valves were added to the piping to slow down the water Now the water is filtered with the bowl and pressurized filter.
