Pond Intake Bay COMPLETE: Part 3

[@07GSXR1G]

Keep this type of information coming. I love all the details and teaching. Please keep the videos in order so we can go back and rewatch in order.

[@edbeaulieu5916]

Thanks for your feedback and support Cedric! We’ll do our best but sometimes the production schedule gets thrown off due to outside circumstances and project locations.

[@07GSXR1G]

@@edbeaulieu5916 totally understand. I appreciate your content and information. I absolutely love how you explained things and how it effects our environment. One day I hope to have you guys do a major project on our golf course here in Little Rock, Arkansas.

[@robertforrest7956]

Wow! What a Major difference this will make! Some beautiful stones. Pond surgery at it's best. To bad these housing areas don't call you first when putting in retention ponds. I'm really excited to see this completed!! Good job pond Professor...👍👍👍 Thanks Ed.

[@edbeaulieu5916]

Thanks Robert!!! I wish we’d get called in on the front end too!

[@chriswilson5571]

DOODLING ON A PAD ACTUALLY EXPLAINS A LOT! GREAT JOB

[@joshortiz1576]

Awesome water feature and great info!!! Can't wait to see more of this!!!

[@edbeaulieu5916]

Thanks for watching Josh! I can’t wait to see this project running!!!

[@Crystalhurb]

Good afternoon Ed hope your having an amazing day. Wow the project is really coming together and looks amazing. Can't wait to see the final product. Loved the videò like always. Have an amazing weekend and ill see you next video like always

[@edbeaulieu5916]

Thanks Crystal! It’s been very busy and chaotic but that’s the life of a Water Feature/Landscaper in Spring...... I hope all is well with you too

[@dennisfeldmann7399]

Thanks Ed learned something new today!!!!!

[@edbeaulieu5916]

Great! We all need to learn on a routine basis.....

[@sharronmiller451]

Really going to be beautiful!!

[@edbeaulieu5916]

Thanks Sharron!

[@FishinmattRyann]

i don't understand why anybody would give you a thumbs down?! Probably somebody from another pond product manufacturing company? Great video Ed! keep them coming! i'm hitting that thumbs up!

[@amydunn4404]

What a great project!

[@edbeaulieu5916]

Thanks Amy!!! It’s been a great project and it’s always nice to have “Artistic Freedom” from the client.....

[@laurimitch]

OMG! My head is spinning with all these plans! The rock work is amazing and I can't wait to see the finished project!

[@petersvan7880]

Awesome, instructive video. Thank you Ed!

[@edbeaulieu5916]

Thanks for following Peter!

[@TheOfficialSteelReign]

Thats exactly the kind of thing we're (I'm) looking for. More of that, pa-pa-pleeaase! You're project is coming along great too. I've accepted the fact that I'll never be one of those people who can afford a project like that a long time ago, but it certainly is fun to watch how it's put together and seeing it develop from start to finish.

[@robertforrest7956]

Hello Greg!! 👍

[@zippyz3916]

I know it is not typical, but I would love to see the manufacturing process of the snorkel, centipede, aquablocks, etc. I am fascinated by the engineering behind it all, not just the end result. Great video as usual.

Love these learning sessions Ed!

You are a smart guy .... keep up the good work ED

[@broman6662]

You are great in explaining how to do 👍 And everything looks amazing, and I hope we will see the finished stream and intake bay when its all done 🙂

[@edbeaulieu5916]

Thanks for your feedback and support! We will continue to show the progress on this project until it’s completed!

Wait for see this pond Complete

[@edbeaulieu5916]

I know!!! I can’t wait either!

[@frankhuisman4372]

the only down side to these great tips and tricks is, that is now want to re do my waterfall.

[@hbell150]

Great explanation!

[@EdThePondProfessor]

Thanks Heather!!!

[@DarrinsDaffs]

Silly me, I thought this was a residential country club community project and that the building was the club house .... I do look forward to the end result and the re-visit 2 years on!

[@edbeaulieu5916]

It’s an Incredible Home!!! Bill just gave us a tour of the interior progress and it’s awesome!!! I can’t wait to see how this property matures in the coming years.......

[@DanLiese]

you guys are great !!!

[@Rimonrealty]

Great lesson

[@sbkpeace.24]

Wow! .

[@edbeaulieu5916]

Thanks!

[@aquascapeponds]

Love this projects Ed makes the average projects feel so simple now, have you ever used geogrid as reinforcement between layer of stone?

[@edbeaulieu5916]

Thanks Jorge! & Yes, It depends on the project, Geogrids are a valuable tool!

[@AXPorto]

Nice video! Any substitute for the waterfall foam? I cant get it where I live and I was looking at a substitute foam with kinda similar capabilities

[@ayubefamily3472]

i think you could stuff moisture wicking mesh (hygrolon on amazon) in the cracks and plant moss on top

[@edbeaulieu5916]

That can be a challenge due to the tough conditions of flowing water and movement of the stones throughout the changing seasons. I’ve tried other type of sealants and mortars but they seem to fail(at least in Chicago/freeze & thaw) Where do you live?

[@AXPorto]

Ed Beaulieu Is this a response of the pond professor himself?😃 I live in the south of Portugal, summers 87-95 degrees winters no freezing degrees lowest will be around 50 degrees. I’m currently trying to build a small pond roughly 10ft by 5ft and 3ft deep, negative edge into calm stream of 60ft by 30-35inches and 10inches deep into a pondless system down at the bottom. After lots of your videos I want to try to copy your strategies the best I can. In a year I want to build a large pond with wetland filtration system. But for this aquascape equipment is definitely required! This current small DIY pond is my practice for the big project! Thanks for your help and replying!

[@edbeaulieu5916]

EvilGodXL Of course it’s me responding! We have a Distribution Facility outside of London, We can definitely get you anything you need. If you want to experiment with another sealing method that would work well in your climate you can try Bentonite Clay, You’ll need to use a heavy duty Geotextile fabric between the joints you wish to seal first and then apply the Bentonite in the joint and then another layer of the Geotextile, this will prevent the Bentonite(Clay) from being washed out of the joint from the flowing water. It’s not perfect but it will work. We can purchase Bentonite in large bags here, I don’t know if it’s available in Portugal???

[@conquestguy]

Fantastic job Ed. I’m wondering if you could clarify something for me please. I am building a pond which will also be available for swimming. I assume that your pump vaults contain submersible pumps, but I am told that you can not use submersible pumps if there will be human contact and that I must switch to above ground pumps. Can you help me with this?

[@EdThePondProfessor]

Correct, If the main purpose is swimming you should use Above Ground/Inline Pumps, You’ll still need a Pump Vault or some sort of Prefilter to draw the water through before it reaches the pump

[@conquestguy]

Thanks Ed. If you ever have the opportunity a video of how best to construct that would be great. We are planning a negative edge intake bay pumped up 30’ to a wetland filter that will then feed a waterfall to a 40 X 50 swim pond with a regeneration zone. Just trying to work the pump logistics without bankrupting us on the electrical bill.

[@jesusml2473]

So are you or Greg going to Blake’s (B.E.A.R) soon!?🤔🔥🔥😇

[@edbeaulieu5916]

Blake is coming to help me this week!!! & Then I head to Florida to return the favor......

[@neatherylandscapellc.808]

What size pump do you use on a project of that size?

[@Tricksterboom]

I'd like to see these features when they're complete and running, though given you've said this is the complete part I guess we don't get to see that

[@edbeaulieu5916]

Thanks for watching! We will continue with updates on this project. The challenge we have on this project as well as other larger features is there are a lot of other contractors on the project that are working in the same space so we work and then leave and let the other contractors do their thing before we come back. When we’re off the project we work on other smaller features as this is a busy time of the year......

[@thejimb76]

“COMPLETE” ?? “See on on the next project”?? Don’t TELL me this is the last video on this project!
