taking a breather! The bog filter is filling! 🤞Fingers crossed this is the permanent fill!! 💧
The waterfall is how I want it. I have decided not to foam it in yet as I want to let the water run over it first and see how it pushes the small rocks. Sometimes they kind of plug holes themselves if the water is strong enough, which I think it will be and is ideal, and I could then help it along by feeding small stones into the gaps as it flows. I don't think much if any foam will be needed though.
Ive made a temporary living space for the 2nd pump. This is the only major of the system that has not been fully tested. Will it be able to draw uo water from the bottom of the pond all the way to the bog filter!? It should according to the specs! But I won't modify the power cable for it until I know for sure.
Used a 3D printed copy of a pipe fitting. Even though the pumps are able to have pipe fittings on both the in and out, they only give you one adapter for each size pipe. 🤷♂️. This fits nicely!
I've touched up the inside edges of the pond between it and the intake bay. The outside edges will be the last to really get finalized of course but that can be a more relaxed pace :)
Excited that water is going in!!
first water! (meant to post this this afternoon by my #selfhost died somewhere along the way... so now we catch up!)
the pump at its lowest setting (25%) pumps faster than the water can fill so this is start and stop situation as the intake bay slowly fills when i turn the pond off and drops as it pumps for awhile... and fills and drops. But it is good for seeing how everything is flowing. So far no escapes or bad signs. #poolpond #backyardProject #diy #plumbing
