Hi all

I have been looking into creating a 20x40x6 natural swimming pond , which is why I started looking into what all I would need in order to create it the right way.
That said the prices are high for a lot of this stuff.

Wetland Filter Kit - Garden World

The Aquascape Wetland Filter Kit comes complete with everything you need to build a Wetland Filter 2.5m x 3m x 1m in size for ponds or dams.

So I was wondering couldn't I just create the Snorkel Vault and Centipede out of

Yes there are plenty of ways to diy the centipede and snorkel, just make sure the bottom of the wetlands filter is pitched towards the snorkel.

The septic design has very small slits i don't see that working well in both directions . while the outflow through the narrow slits looks fine. But the back wash may be to fine for flushing sediment out. imo

Welcome. It's done all the time around here, so you're in good company. Agree w/ @GBBUDD re: enlarging the slits in the leaching chamber.
