This only a quick design, I have decided I will build the pond with Concrete blocks and use the hollow insides to hide all the plumbing, still not sure on what pumps and filters I’ll use, however i have now mains power in the area to run underground so I may have to go solar. Will also look at 2 stand alone pumps with fountains alone the centre of the long edge on the right. The clear area at the front will be a viewing window. I’m still not 100% sure if this will go in however it’s easier to remove than to put in.
Pond is mainly above ground; approx 0.4m will be below ground
Pond inside dimensions are:
Right side 4m x 2m x 1m = 8m3
Back side: 1m x 1m x 1m = 1m3 (In front of waterfall)
Top Pond : 0.8m x 0.8m x 0.9 m = 0.57m3
Total litres in top pond = 570 litres
Total litres in main pond = 9000 litres
Top pond is not filled to the ground (this will most likely change this will make the dimensions 0.8 x 0.8 x 1.5m = 0.96m3 = 960 litres
Now for some questions
1. Steps :- what are they for?
2. How much water will I have to move per hour? Will 1500 lph
3. Can I have the pond all at one depth or do I have to have a shallow end and a deep end.
Thanks for the help
