Draining Pond's Upper Filtration

so now in today's case we're doing something a little different we're installing this into an existing Pond you're not always going to have that as the case and that's why Aquascape sells it as a kit Standalone so they've got it set up so that a guy can come out there and dig in this short Basin 4x4 18 Ines deep you don't hike any of the materials off site and then it becomes a self-contained water feature that can go anywhere and be installed anywhere it doesn't require a water source like a pond or something to go into to it is its own self-contained water source and they don't have just these slate stacked earns they've got all different things to pick from that's not the point the real thing that we're looking at here is the potential to make money and make it fast so we set the clock to make sure that he wasn't lying about that three-hour window only a true person that loves nature would spend the time to fish minnows out out of my filtration system with me that's what we're all save them all save them all so what let's work fast so yeah so what we're doing right now is we're just going to drain the upper filtration system down enough so that we're not working in water and the main thing is not disturbing and bringing all that sediment back up to the top that's it so right now this is actually what we are pumping out of here year after year after year is like black gold some of the best fertilizer we're getting out of there right now we're cleaning the bottom of the tank we're not going to disturb the the cleanliness or the ecosystem that's the larger body of the water we're only going to be in here for about an hour or two anyway without water uh I think we're about that level now let's kill that pump and then uh construction begins most of this install is manual labor so if you're allergic to working hard then this is not going to
