Newbie here needs to ask a question

... I read how people use the plastic liners but also read how they install a drain pipe . How do you install a drain pipe in a plastic liner? Thanks in advance for your help. Cathy By drain pipe, do you mean bottom drain? If so there numerous ways to run a piece of piep through a flexible liner. There are many store bought products, as well DIY versions. Can you be a bit more specific? I am sure with a few more details about your plan, there are many experienced porgs here to help. BV. |

Newbie here needs to ask a question
We plan on building an above ground pond. 5ft by 8ft. We have boughten a
magnetic utility pump 1200 GPH and Tetra Pond Clearchoice PF3 Filter for ponds up to 2600 gallons. The liner we bought is a tetra pond liner for 600 gallons. I really dont understand how if you poke plastic with a pipe, how it doesnt rip or tear the plastic and how does it adhere to it without it leaking? Of course meaning the bottom drain. This is the 3rd pond we will have built or formed. The 1st being a preformed molded plastic one which holds 80 gallons of water. The 2nd is one we added into our house which holds 50 gallons of water and set into concrete. This 2nd one has a bottom drain already formed into it. We definetely love our fish and pond plants. We winter both fish and pond plants in our home for the winter because as you might know here in Western NY, we have some pretty terrible winters. Thank you for your response and help and hopefully from what i have told you, you can add some more advise. Cathy "BenignVanilla" m wrote in message ... "russandcathy" wrote in message ...

Question. Is your liner the Xavan or EPDM liner? If it is EPDM then look
at http://www.geocities.com/bickal2000/pond.htm for the pipe boot as a do it yourself means of creating hole through the liner. He also has a DIY bottom drain, and other good info. You can also buy bulkhead fittings which have threaded flanges on both sides to clamp the liner, or you can make one with two water closet flanges. I am not familiar with the properties of Xavan. -- RichToyBox http://www.geocities.com/richtoybox/pondintro.html "Russ and Cathy" wrote in message ...

Yes i do have pics of my ponds but i cant post them in here can i?
My indoor pond was a gift from my husband for my birthday this year. He took the narrow side porch which had a concrete floor (50 inches by 13 ft.) and put up walls and insulation etc and made it my mini greenhouse with pond. We bought two 5 ft sliding doors for one wall and a large window for the short wall so that is glass on two sides. Took out the wall and door and picture window out of the living room wall ( that is the inside wall) and voila!! A nice little room for me to work in. For the pond we bought a tank i guess you would water farm animals in. Something along that line. Then he added concrete around it with large rocks for decoration. He recessed a few small clay pots into the concrete so that i could have some plants on the top. He then added plumbing and electricity. Now the only draw back is..... i wish it were a bigger room lol! Cathy "jammer" wrote in message ...
