Okay, I don’t know a whole lot about this pond plumbing stuff but I’ll try to show you the setup. Exciting, no?
So there’s the skimmer/reservoir for the pump…
Who makes it? These folks…
Water flows through these brushes, then into the reservoir…
Where the submersible pump goes to work…
Where water gets pumped to this sci-fi contraption on the far side of the pond…
It’s supposed to be some super easy-to-clean filter setup. It’s all the rage with the kids, I hear…
Pipes and whatnot got hooked up to it. Inside the filter, dirty water goes through a series of biological filters and gets blasted with UV light to kill algae. Then it completes a series of complicated quadratic equations and satellites are launched into space. I made that part up…
Two hoses that run from the filter to the pond got mortared into the wall…
Then the capstone went back on…
Two hoses ensure that clean water re-enters the pond in two places to keep the water moving water down both Ls so that we have no stagnant spots. And this air compressor will go into the pond to aerate the water so the fish don’t suffocate…
Then there’s some business about a backwash hose from the filter and the overflow filter — both still to be dealt with. More on those another time. Like on a morning when there’s coffee in the house.
