This pond is about 1200 gallons, with and a small waterfall. On this pond, I helped the homeowner design and conceptualize the pond. The homeowner dug the pond himself. I did the final shaping. I installed most of the piping, including 1 bottom drain. I also installed the pond rubber, and made the boot connections through the liner to all of the plumbing. The homeowner and I placed all of the rocks and I installed the waterfall rock. I supplied this pond with plants. The water flowing over this waterfall is about 3600gallons per hour. The filter is a 55gallon barrel burried in the ground with a pond liner settling pool. Click here for construction photos.
My methods of bottom drain and filter construction have been improved since this pond was build. Please review newer consultation projects to make sure you see the latest and greatest ideas.
