Bog piping

[Tula]

Ok thanks. I was wondering about the curved outflow pipe in the picture with the water running out?

Oh.....that is the return line from our Sand & Gravel filter !

Bog building, also called upflow filter, eco filter, wetland filter

I was asked to start a thread on how to build a bog. This is my rendition on bog building 101............. Building a bog: Before you decide to build a bog, you need to know what you want its primary purpose to be. Total pond filtration bog filtration combined with another filter. If you...

Don't over think it, I have 27 feet of 2 inch pvc sliced up with a saw jaw, ends are capped , no clean out, 2.5 feet deep pea gravel, full of plants and it works great.

Others use snorkels, aqua blocks etc. It is basically a lined hole, pvc pipes running down the hole, full of slots, holes which ever you prefer, fill with gravel, plant done.

I used 90 degree joints others used 45 sweeps etc.

Yeah, I was thinking on the same lines as GBBUDD about keeping the bends to a minimum. I used a "wye" fitting instead of a "tee" where it splits into two and tried to use wide sweeps instead of tight 90's where I could.
Truthfully, and after the fact, I don't think it matters. I unscrewed the cap on one of my clean-out stacks while the pump was running. Wholly cow, there was so much pressure I couldn't get the cap back on and I got soaked! I had to shut the pump off to screw the cap back on.
