Mark: solving a mystery for a lot DIY pond builders like myself. Videos seldom explain the pump size/type they use and it remains a mystery for most of us. I think you were the first to show me a T-valve off of the main to regulate pressure as opposed to throttling the pump inline. Good stuff!

Hi Mark, I wanted to know if it is possible to use one "large" pond pump to run 3 different spillway displays. Two of the spillways are 12 inches wide and one spillway is 24 inches wide. The two 12" spillways will be about 7 feet high, and the 24-inch-wide spillway will be 8 feet high. How large of a pond pump would I need to run all 3 spillways? 5,000GPH or 8,000 GPH 10,000 GPH? Thanks for your help, and your videos are very helpful, full of wonderful knowledge!
You would need a value on each outlet so you can control the flow
@jws219610 ай бұрын
So stronger flow to the larger spill way because of it's size and because it is higher than the 2 smaller sized spillways because of lower height and size! Thank you for your response. Also, the pond is approximately a 15 foot across circle and 30 inches deep, how big of a filter will I need? Will have plants and fish in it eventually. Thanks... @@ThePondAdvisor

Hi, thanks for the video. I'm still unsure what's best for my pond though. I have a 3x20ft pond with no fish. I'm looking to keep the water moving to stop mosquitos. A fountain might be nice, but not essential. Can you recommend a pump suitable for this?

👏🏾 ok i get the idea now. Mark i am buikding a 3 metet round pound/pool well it will look like a pound but it will have a walk in entrace for those hot days for one to enter. I will also have a waterfall about the pound/pool which will bring water down into the pool and back out to the waterfall again. Looking at this video the eco wave sounds like the kid for me so can you give me some advice ? So i was going to make 3 large box's with one having the pump filtering the water into tye other two which then will swnd the water down onto the waterfall. Do i need a skimmer and do i need a bottom drain with this type of set up do you think ? Regards Sylvester

The barrel is 40cms high and I presume the head needs to be above the water? I cannot find a small one that is tall enough. Any ideas? Thanks for all your videos.

I just have it on a bubble setting between rocks so it gently burbles. The pond is, however, still forming a greasy looking film over the water and smelling really bad even after being thoroughly cleaned and refilled with rain water. I have added Barely straw extract but the problem is not algae. Any idea what it might be? Is it likely something on the barrel? Thanks!

what about solar pumps? I am putting in a small ~ wildlife pond that is far from electricity. It will be half bog/wildlife pond overflowing into a deeper goldfish pond. I think it will be 100 gallon wildlife and 200 gallon goldfish. I need a pump to take the water from the goldfish pond up to the bog/wildlife pond (about 2 feet up). I used to have 2 goldfish in a pond for about 3 years. Then I moved and temporarily housing them in a 150 gallon stock tank with a flower pot bog filter. Then they decided to spawn and now I have ~10. yikes!

If you have a lot of leaves they are sucking and blowing so will suck in the leaves, they do carry on working however, in the ecosystem ponds leaves are not normally a problem I have three in the lockdown pond, two are in front of the skimmer and this helps the skimming action as the extra pull over to the skimmer box.
