Picture of pond setup

[RobAmy]

A couple people asked about where I put components of the pond. Here is the pond and how I set it up. Bio filters are hidden in the pine tree above ground. The waterfall filter and skimmer are in ground. There are 2 pumps going to the stream 1800gph in the pond with a prefilter & 4800gph in the skimmer. There is another 1800gph in the pond with a prefilter going to the inline bio filters

Good job at hiding everything.

I love when I see a pond and I can't immediately figure out how it all works. Great job making this look like it's always been there and works naturally!

Is it easy to clean those Savio filters? I agree it looks like it has always been there born from nature

I would say yes because every Savio filter I've googled comes with its own cleaning lady:

or

or a Dominatrix, the lines blur after a while.

Pond looks great. You run two Laguna air pumps? Do you use air stones or disks?

I'm still waiting to hear back from AZ pond with answers to my questions regarding Hakko and Laguna air pumps - getting frustrated!

Yes 2 pumps. One has the air stone that came with it. The other I use a 4" disk.

I find it fairly easy to clean them out. The ones above ground I have ball valves to drain them. The waterfall filter and skimmer I have to use a vacuum to clean the bottom because they are buried and my yard is very flat so it would be difficult to get a lower ball valve to work well. They have a filter pad at the top, which is very easy to clean. They use a ribbon material for the bio media which is easy to clean with a hose at the end of the season.
