Savio - How to Build a Pond Free

This video goes through, from beginning to end, the construction of a Pond Free disappearing waterfall or stream using Savio brand components. There are many tips and tricks included to help you along the way.
Visit our website or contact us at www.MudMonsters.com or www.MudMonsterStore.com for more information on Savio products and how to build Pond Free Systems.
Adding a Pond Free waterfall or stream to your landscape allows you to enjoy the sights and sounds of moving water without the maintenance and potential hazards that having an open pool of water that a pond can potentially provide.

I've been watching videos for 2 days. This is the most informative I've seen yet. Thanks!!!!

[@ginacable5376]

Best video I have seen on here and I have watched loads! Thank you.

[@mysisterishow5653]

i like this with a fishpond at the end ☺

[@1habicher]

I like all of Savio and find it well done and am in the middle of joining two small Ponds with Goldfish to keep me happy but do have a cat and dog well trained to keep an eye on it. It works well but You learn as You go and stop to think or dream. Water as background is good for me but so is my music at times.

[@louisasmiles]

this video stopped me losing my hair and committing murder. thank you for the rock placement info.

[@itsmehall]

this is the best video i have watched. thank you for this

[@everythingphil9376]

2:35 Make sure that grass is level.

[@noyezz3690]

okay, it has no fucking point of leveling the gras :D wtf

[@dragossorin85]

Only professionals do that grass leveling

[@Little2step38]

Just wish they had told the measurements on this and the size kit they used!

[@EMILCAT7]

It looks nice while the rocks that are not directly in contact with water have been recently wet for the shooting. Once they dry is another story.

[@randallkindrick6378]

This is a waterfall or stream that does not have an open pond at the bottom. It is therefore free of a pond, hence the "Pond Free" name, also known as a "Pondless" system. Not necessarily meant for people trying to build a pond without spending any money.

[@pitmal7093]

Pięknie się to prezentuje. Rewelacja. Pozdrawiam

[@Jockey-Canal]

Thanks for another great video! One small question: How big (L/Hr) is the pump in this project?

[@300-LYF]

at 10:33 you say to use Black Expanding Foam where do you buy this from as i cant find it on EBAY or anywhere in Australia please help

[@ramboIII3]

Great video, really beautiful

[@bmzaron713]

Great play on words

[@HaelynWood]

I don't see any power supply connected to the pump.

[@PedramBastan]

It's free. Magical

[@PedramBastan]

Or self perpetual energy. It never needs water to be topped off either because it uses water from the air

[@Sherryandtherockafellas]

Hi! Is this the 10x25' kit? I really love this! I want to purchase this asap and this one here is the absolute right size. So I would like to get the right kit.

[@arslanahmed8504]

Not well planned. 1- The wood will rot because of no barrier 2- When replacing fence, this section will be a major pain in the rear to replace

[@amrg7474]

You didn't pay attention to the instructions, they didn't do it on the demonstration but the man specifically said to use plastic liner between the fence and the water feature.

[@user-ow8dj7yh5i]

Great work! How can you hide the power cable?

[@declanconnolly3804]

Great work it's really nice

[@Rhododendrondimmek]

This waterfall is the one I would like to have.. Generally, how much does it cost for this...?

[@TheArlberg1]

You can not buy it. Go to it and enjoy it Yourself it is not too hard if You can spare the time. Go easy on it!

[@bradbrinegar1419]

Shoreasiamensis Shoreasiamensis materials will run you between $1250-$2000. a contractor usually charge around $3500-$5000 for a turn key project like this. the rock is the main deciding factor on the total cost. the larger it is the more rock you need. and it can get expensive

[@davewoods3849]

it looks well neat

[@mohammadaligolestani1760]

Very good

[@1habicher]

Is this available overseas yet? Even light parts of it? It should be and Australia would like it that I would know and DYO is the way to go. Stay at home and enjoy making it fit together, I did and have had a very pleasant hobby and am 80y and still going!

[@didibolter9362]

Man that's a lot of work!! What's the price of it being installed as shown in the video??

[@rasheedabegam3500]

nice

[@shahrafiq2165]

How much time it take

[@biancabonner1383]

Can the water course be longer?

[@mudmonsterspondlandscapesu6149]

Savio currently makes PondFree packages that are for an 8', 13', or 18' length water course. Their PondFree Packages include everything you need except the electrical outlet, the backing that they show in the video (which you usually don't need) and the stones. If you need longer than those lengths it is possible to use a larger liner, but you may need to adjust the sizes and quantities of some of the other components as well. You can call Mud Monsters Pond Supply at [phone] or email us at [e-mail] for information and a quote.

[@sureshpandey8421]

Dude what will happen if rain come ? It will get overflowed

[@lacam7807]

Hi I really like to build a pond free waterfall to my wife who love the nature/ flowers/ animals etc. I'm only in planning phase. What about rain? I saw there is an exact level of water....but how it looks after several days massive raining? And in winter? All of the rock should be collect from the top of the basin and free up the pump? Another question...what if the waterfall is not in the corner of the garden? Rocks should be placed around the "hill" ? How to prevent the waterfall and the way of the water from the dirt where the plants/flowers planted and what is washed in to the system by the rain. First i thougt it shuold be raised from the ground level and with a hose to keep the right level of water and hide the basin with rocks (and of course the flow of the water would be controlled to the top of the basin)....is it a right way or am I an idiot? (yes 😊) I love this waterfall and thank you for this video ( ps. Sorry for my terrible english - magyarul könnyebben körbeírtam volna az elképzelésem --> I could describe you my plan much more better in hungarian)

[@rrios283s73]

So one would constantly have to fill up the reservoir to keep an adiquite amount at all times, in very hot climates that may be a daily task, could a water line be used as well as a float to always pump water so that you never need to manually fill it .up .?

[@mudmonsterspondlandscapesu6149]

Yes, there is a hole cutout in the waterfall well for mounting a mini float valve as an autofill. Savio makes a kit that includes the float valve, water line, and tap for a water spigot. If the waterfall is built so that water stays contained within the system there should be very little water loss however. Just what is lost to evaporation.

Hoe maak ik buiten isolatie vast op platen kot

[@j.sparrow7537]

Savio, I know for fact you can do way better than that. Did Rick Bartel watched this video?, any RISE technique he could have advised?

[@danield.4513]

So many of these "water features" look so out of place, un-natural and like a giant dog took a giant dump in the middle of the yard. A waterfall coming out of a fence?Then you're supposed to just sit in front of it? Couldnt look more tacky...

[@roaringlion1]

Who else thought they were building a pond for free?

[@shellydurunna]

Clay soil you have a free pond. Look you Clay lined pond.

[@PedramBastan]

I'm sad now. Who else is broke?

[@andrewkeener5480]

plastic should have been used against that fence to keep it from rotting out.

[@migueljimenez5165]

Andrew Keener water isn’t touching the fence. How would it rot out?

[@Vinterfrid]

@@migueljimenez5165 Soil collects moist >>> wood fence will eventually rot!

[@PedramBastan]

Unless you do a sealer constantly every few years.

[@brandonk1502]

[@leroybrownie9188]

That fence wasn't adequately protected from moisture. Besides that, what fun it will be if it ever needs repairs with the concrete blocks and whatnot right up against it! Major design flaw, I'd say. It should have been free and clear from the fence.

[@emsovill6509]

I dream to have like this out my back yard I have a very big yard I have a 4 hectares of land I wanted to have like this in the future tnx for ur blogs I am impressed thou..

I can build this for you if you live near the medford oregon area

[@rcruz401]

I'm interested in something just like this one for my yard. please point me in the right direction

[@gayleharrelson579]

it's called get started digging the area out & once your done digging measure the area you have for the liner & go to your local hardware store Lowes or ? & get the stuff you want & need to finish it up the ideas are ENDLESS from start to finish.

[@jibrililiya6402]

how do you power the pump?

[@freshimpactco.8698]

Usually electricity does wonders but I don't know, maybe you had other plans..... 😂🤣😅

[@TheArlberg1]

This is up with the very best instructions, not much on pump info. but the liner and rocks are suburb. All well explayned and should be a wonderful hobby. I am doing the same with two ponds 200l ea. and connection with a waterway not too long. Enjoy it am 80y old and on top of it.

[@Ronnie1986]

Way to much money that I don't have I need to find a cheaper way those rocks and large stones are veryyyyyy expensive

[@icanfix1]

Excellent video. Straight forward and to the point.

[@rcruz401]

Just received my Savio Pond kit in the mail today. Please specify to me how many cinder blocks/boulders/river stone ect. I would need to make it exactly like this video.

[@PR_TIME]

WHAT WAS THE PRICE?

[@ABDELKADERHOUAMDI]

that's cool

[@peteallyn412]

That fence would rot in 2-3 years. If you make one of these, put it in a rock garden.

[@TheArlberg1]

All of this is so well explained and done and I am in the middle of it doing it just now. Sevio has helped me but I am too far away to get some of this stuff. I got most of it and just need more sun in Australia but it is on the way now!

[@freshimpactco.8698]

Did you order the sun last week? Sometimes you may get some delays as the delivery service down under ain't so good. 😂🤣😅😆

[@jesuscortez8796]

Bravo 👏 a lot the imagination and talented working guys make the people’s dreams come tru 👍👏

[@Jon-Ivy]

My Savio filterweir 16 is leaking right at the hose fitting. The clamp is as tight as it's gonna get; it's not leaking there. It's right behind that on a hex nut. How do I fix this? Do I need a pipe wrench to tighten the nut?

[@imagehunter1]

Why build so close to the wood fence 😳😳

[@bluepointblues5438]

Watch this video several times and I'm still amazed. Hope one day I can afford to have a pond like this in my backyard.

[@Madchimpz]

You can definitely make one for $400 or less, though not with the equipment in this video. A decently strong, energy efficient pump for $80, pond liner and underlayment for $60-150 depending on how big you want your pond to be, pond foam for $12-14, though you might need a second can of foam depending on much you use, $20-30 worth of gravel and river pebbles from Home Depot or Lowe's, $22 for a tube for the pump, $25 for a spillway which is optional. $20-40 for one or a few aquatic plants to filter out algae. Large rocks: free if you look in the right places.
