Hi all, I have a Koi Pond 8 1/2 length, 7 1/2 wide 4 ft, deep and 2 1/2 near the waterfall

[Sue Zaple]

I have been told the waterfall should be moved? Not sure where, I will be using the Aquascape 2-outlet Aeration kit at the opposite end ( deep end) down from the waterfall at the wide end. Any suggestions

Welcome!
Why should the waterfall be moved?

 

[Angel]

waterfall should be opsite of your pump and or skimmer to promote proper circulation. based on photo i see no reason why to move it

Who on earth told you to move your waterfall? Maybe they should have just suggested picking up the pond and moving IT!

It's very pretty! Your water looks so blue - do you dye it?

Hello and welcome! Lovely pond, but I don’t understand why you have to move the waterfall. Maybe you could fill us in with a little more details. I’m curious why you would start a thread with no context.

the only issue I see is the narrowest part of the pond is also packed full of lilies.

Hello and welcome. More info please.

Hi and welcome. I'm guessing it needs to be moved because it's too noisy for the neighbors right behind it. If so that's interesting because my neighbors always thank me for the sounds my pond makes. It's better than the jets flying over us getting ready to land at O'Hare Airport!

 

[Lisak1]

Interesting point @CometKeith - I would think the waterfall would be noisier if it were facing the neighbors than with it pointing away.

Beautiful pond!

Welcome to our group!

Welcome @Sue Zaple
Can you move it my pond?, I live in NJ and can meet you half way...
if noise is the issue for neighbors, maybe consider dampening it a bit so there's less linear drop to the water. I couldn't imagine a nicer sound than a small waterfall, but understand it's not for everybody.

Welcome @Sue Zaple , your pond looks really nice!

Hello and welcome to the forum! Beautiful pond

Welcome to the forum!

Wow! Your pond is gorgeous! I love the long drop of water off the falls. If the waterfall noise is the issue, maybe you can alter it's construction so that it flows over something (maybe rocks) to quiet it down. That would be ashamed since it looks so nice as it is. Oh, I love the skull!

Welcome, I am new here too.
Looks great, my waterfall is on a timer and runs from 4-12 midnite. It's on a separate pump, I have it that way due to green that grows if I left it running 24-7. This way the sun bakes the rocks kill the green. I scape the rocks on the weekend keep the rocks clean. May help if he is complaining about noise.

@ricksplace Welcome! You're not so new if you joined in 2013!

Is your waterfall also your filter?

Hi, I like all the green stuff growing on my waterfall rock. Everyone is different. In fact I've even transplanted moss from my yard onto the surrounding rocks. It looks nice to me.
