Need advice: sleeper pond with viewing window

[teckpham]

Got the windows in placed.

The IdealSeal MS290 sticked really well, so I am going to have it just like this first to see how it goes. If not, I'll 3D printing the corner caps as I believed that the only weak points.

Got the pond filled today.

Found a little guy in the basket, so I have to put in a mesh.

A lot of valves. I can transfer water back and fore between the old and new ponds, as well individually pump the water to the fruit orchard.


Still have got a lot of things to do, but the water flow is working. I hope the water will cleared up soon.

No sign of any leakage so far. Fingers crossed!

Damn, nice! CongratZ

Lookin' great! Is that an air admittance valve on your line teeing off of the feed to the bog?

Yes, it is the air admittance valve.

 

[combatwombat]

Yes, it is the air admittance valve.

Cool. Is that to break siphon on the bog line when pump shuts off?

Yes, it break the siphon. I have it on my older pond also.

 

[teckpham]

Almost done. No issue so far.

 

[combatwombat]

Looking really sharp!

Hyacinths are starting to flowers in the new pond and not in the old ponds. Probably due to more sunlight.

I wouldn't necessarily credit that; in my books, water hyacinth blooming is all down to magic. Seriously.

Hahaha, that is true. I don't think I had any last year, while the year before were a lot.
