Getting close, folks, but I need a little input from you all. I’ve built my waterfall and solved the issue of coral rock porosity for the waterfall. Before I fill the pond, I have to finish my filter and need advice on what to use for support mesh for the filter media (see description and pics of the design way down, continued in comments).
POND INFO: I am in Salt Lake City, UT (USA), Zone 5 (Google says coldest average temperature is 29.2°F/-1.6°C). I inherited this pond with my house and I believe the pond was built in the 50s or 60s. The pond appears to be built out of cement, is approximately 20’x20’ (6x6 meters) with sloping walls towards the center, and about 5 feet (1 1/2 meter) at the deepest part. I’ve been trying to rehabilitate the pond and figure out some of its odd features, including what *might* be a weir (for another post) and a crypt like structure in the middle of the pond.
Photo #1: The pond in May, just started draining it
Photo #2: June, after draining and removing about 3 feet (1 meter) of gravel
