Absolutely love it and everything that you’re doing! I just built my first pond less waterfall and stream. As I built it things changed, and now I’ve over built my stream for the size of catchment basin and more water will flow into it, and it will flood out. But I have a plan, I have an extra liner that I will use to create water hold points in the stream that won’t drain out and overflow the basin, otherwise, I will have to dig out the entire basin and make it larger and a little deeper. But there’s a sidewalk and a tree that is preventing that. I could possibly make the ponds upstream a little bit smaller, but it’s just about perfect for what I want so I will create a pond within a pond in the two upper pooling areas.

I did know about the calculations, but one thing caught my attention, that was not yet on my radar: The influence, that the width of the overflow on a negative edge has on the amount of water in motion on the pond's surface. Thanks.

An alternative to electric based pumps is to use a syphon. You can ensure your pond is always* running. There are plenty YT videos teaching how to make water flow from a lower to higher ground without nothing but pipes and the water itself. * unless the siphon gets stuck by material blocking water to flow.

Can you post a link please? I can't understand how you could siphon against gravity.
@bobprivate8575Ай бұрын
@@Fredward1986 There's no such thing. Most are YT clickbait. The closest you can get, is by using a water ram- but that requires some source of natural waterflow on the property to power itself. If you happen to have a natural stream on your property, and also want to add an artificial one on higher ground, THEN you could do so via a water ram. But this is an edge case that won't apply to most people.

I’ve seen some that waste a lot of water getting water up hill. Can you post a link to one suitable for running a filter?

Love all your videos. I purchased your planning guide, and have a question with flow rates. I know you want bog volume pumped at least once every hour. If I'm running a small stream to waterfall, how can i calculate if the return from the bog is enough to have this run correctly? Or is adding a the second pump the only way? If so where do I locate and pump from? Thank you!
@Ozponds26 күн бұрын
As you are building it you can split the flow and use a bucket to calculate your flow rate. You’ll need to time how long it takes the bucket to fill, then do your calculations. If using two pumps both will go in the skimmer or intake bay.

Hello, thank you for sharing all your knowledge ! Your videos helped me a lot in adding a bog filter to my small pond. Could you tell us the name of the moss that looks like cushion at 7:11 ?

I think it’s SCLERANTHUS BIFLORUS “DROUGHT HARDY, FROST TOLERANT, GROUNDCOVER, NATIVES FOR CONTAINERS The common name for this species is ‘Canberra Grass’ even though it has a very un-grass-like appearance, it is commonly mistaken for a moss and makes a wonderful moss substitute in Japanese style gardens. It is happiest in a sunny position and contrasts well with broad-leaved plants” In Europe there’s a plant that looks very similar called “sagina subulata” aka “scotch moss”.

Hi Kev, I'm building a bog filter while following your videos. Around how deep should the false bottom be in a wheelie bin thats 100cm tall?
