POND day 4, Hell breaks lose
What happens here
Ed Beaulieu explains the pond's advanced water circulation system. It utilizes two Aquascape PN Solids Handling Pumps, each rated at 7,500 GPH, for a total flow of 15,000 GPH. This flow is split between a waterfall and strategically placed underwater jets. One jet is near the bottom, angled at 45 degrees to create an upwelling effect, while another blasts across the front to create a large circulation pattern. This system is designed to keep debris suspended and direct it towards the intake bay, and to provide currents that fish (like Koi) enjoy. One pump operates 24/7 for filtration, while the second can be activated for additional aeration or flow. The pond holds approximately 15,000 gallons, allowing for a complete water turnover once every hour.
Goal: Ensure robust water circulation and filtration for pond health and aesthetics.
