“Pro tip,..cuz I did this once….” I love this statement! It’s my jam!! I looove these videos!!! Experience is everything, Thanks Jantzen!!😁

[@travisjantzer]

Haha! Just trying to share all I know :) Glad you like my videos.

[@LarryDickman1]

When I was training a new E/M Tech and I pointed out what not to do. I would say, "Ask me how I know this." I remember my mistakes and screw ups.

[@terrycoles9079]

Amazing video. You have a brilliant way of explaining things, I usually give up watching some videos as they don't explain in depth like you do. You make it clear to understand. Thank you so much.

[@travisjantzer]

Im glad it was helpful!

[@sandylotion]

Love that quote, "Pro tip, I tried it once and it worked", thanks for this very informative.

[@travisjantzer]

:)

[@mw2glitcher124365]

I completely agree how brilliant you are at explaining the concept. Thank you so much!

[@shanidarose]

OMG!!!!! THANK YOU THIS WAS SOOOOO INFORMATIVE!!!!!!! SIMPLE AND LOVE HOW YOU DID THIS!!!

[@timventura]

Great video! You're a natural teacher and full of valuable information presented in a logical and interesting way. Thank you !

[@meganh7742]

That was such a helpful video! Your explanation and drawings really helped. Thank you!

[@travisjantzer]

You're very welcome!

[@carolleenkelmann3829]

Thankyou so much. One of the best instructional 📸 on this topic on KZbin.

[@moonowl4912]

You can also use square black milk crates or the plastic soda crates

[@travisjantzer]

Ive done that! forgot to mention it here.

[@moonowl4912]

@@travisjantzer Awesome. I’ve never done it. But now I know it will work. I will attempt a water fall/stream look with a tiny pool of water at the bottom. I’ll send pics when it’s done.

[@rnoack1]

This is a very helpful video. I would love to understand if your basic setup works with solar fountains, and if you have recommendations on how to size them. For areas with no electricity. Thanks.

[@paulbrown7775]

Isn't it necessary to flush out and clean the system regularly? How would you do that? Thanks!

[@Giftig--Daniel-P]

Didn't think this would be as helpful as it was. Pretty good stuff.

[@mw2glitcher124365]

Best pondless waterfall breakdown!! Have searched pondless waterfalls endlessly and after days none have come close, my search has ended for design. Could you do one that includes lighting using your mechanics for a large, 12' water curtain but want to light it up.

[@lynn8307]

for the void can you use a plastic milk crate?

[@loggerheadgaming1028]

Your channel is amazing great videos dont stop making them they are so interesting and cool keep up the good work! 👍

[@travisjantzer]

Thanks you! I appreciate the support I don’t plan on stopping 🤙🏽

[@GoodLifeAquatics]

Great video! I’m about to start my first feature and this is an invaluable tool! Thank you!

[@travisjantzer]

Glad it was helpful!

[@krickette5569]

Thank you for this. It will prove invaluable when I start my water feature.

[@travisjantzer]

Glad it was helpful!

[@miamiboarder]

Excellent tutorial! THANKS!!!

[@travisjantzer]

Glad it was helpful!

[@suereinwald1186]

Very helpful, thank you!

[@TexasGovernor]

Hey I am so sorry. I'm not seeing this comment in other videos - but maybe I am overlooking it - how the heck do you do the electrical for a pond? You just string any old extension cord across the yard? Bury it? Other?

[@ORSkie]

Good question!

[@lorinatrayte2718]

Great advice!

[@travisjantzer]

thanks :)

[@themessenger2]

Great video!

[@travisjantzer]

Thank you!

[@themessenger2]

@@travisjantzer I am using a 75 gallon storage tub as a reservoir for my next water feature. Thanks for the idea of using the water box as pump vault. I've been looking for something affordable.

[@travisjantzer]

right on! Yea glad I could help. Best of luck digging.

[@marion2917]

Any advice for somebody doing one of these in a place where the ground freezes in the winter? Obviously I need to remove my pump, but aside from that. Will those aquablox break if they're submerged in water that then freezes? Even if I drain the whole thing, in the spring when the snow melts the hole will probably be filled with snow runoff, which can then freeze again. Thanks!

[@travisjantzer]

I dont think the aquablocks break when frozen. I personally have not had to deal with deep freezes so i'm not sure i can help much.

[@naturalsr405]

Good idea for a video. What do you recommend for filtering? If you do filters, can you make a vid talking about filtering options? I think I am leaning towards a bog style I guess, with meta for filtering

[@travisjantzer]

I'm not experienced with filters. Its something I need to learn more about.

[@chrisandashley6708]

Would milk crates work as a cheaper alternative to AquaBlocks?

[@travisjantzer]

I’ve actually used those once and the seemed to work! I wouldn’t trust them with more than my own body weight though. So if you’re using large stone I would off set them to the side so the weight is directly on the ground instead of on the crates. They would certainly hold the weight of some River rock though!

[@donnygabai6150]

Firstly, dude you are awesome! Really appreciate you explaining this stuff. Secondly, I was thinking of using small milk crates ziptied together as the below rocks boxes to hold water volume. Do you think that would work?

[@travisjantzer]

I've done that! they don't hold as much weight so i wouldn't put large boulders on them but for a small reservoir with pebbles they seem to work.

[@lsignet]

what about using the plastic milk creates for the void area? would that be a good option for this?

[@travisjantzer]

Ive done that! it worked, though I wouldn't put too much weight on them.

[@fatboyhurstyt7985]

I would like to know how to install a bib liner at the bottom of a pondless waterfall so you have a shallow pool area at the bottom, instead of the water disappearing into the basin

[@travisjantzer]

kinda the same just line the edges with rock and them put plants in to keep algae and evaporation down. requires a lot more maintenance though.

[@Tambisme]

😊

[@MrJmhess77]

A lot of people skip this part and then wonder why things don't work. And eventually the water feature project gets left for dead. 😞

[@mikehendrix6558]

Add a #5 because you also need electricity unless youre using solar. Lol

[@travisjantzer]

kinda figured that went without saying.

[@harleybraeden7853]

👏 P r o m o s m!
