Hello again. I have a couple of more questions about the current pond setup my mother has.
1. In the pond picture I am attaching, I have only been able to locate (1) bottom "drain". The location of the drain is in the center around the 6 o'clock position, is set in concrete, has a round plastic grated top and when I first located it, there were 2-3" rocks surrounding and covering it. The whole pond bottom has these rocks.
My question is, would there typically be only (1), for roughly a 9x14' , 2-3k gallon pond?
2. The other question is about the horizontal submersible pump/skimmer photo attached (stock photo)
. When looking at the pond picture the pump is underwater in about the 1 o'clock position, with the intake facing the waterfall, about 5" from wall. The outlet pipe goes into wall around the same area, through filter system and returns as circulating water around the 8-9 o'clock position, and points right to the intake area of bottom drain.I'm guessing that is intended to keep debris away.
My question is, is this the correct position for the pump to create the suggested "Vortex" effect?
The pond is murky due to me stirring it up.
