What happens here
Install the biofilter and skimmer box at appropriate locations, typically at the highest point of the waterfall and the main pond basin, respectively. Connect the pump from the skimmer box to the biofilter using flexible PVC pipe, burying the pipe in a trench to conceal it. The biofilter will house filter media and create a waterfall, returning clean water to the stream. The skimmer removes surface debris and houses the pump. Use PVC cement and fittings to ensure watertight connections for all plumbing components. Burying the pipe helps protect it from UV damage and physical harm.
Goal: Integrate the water circulation and filtration components into the pond system.
