Here are pictures of the pond this spring, it is now one year old and I just
rebuilt the waterfall and made a small stream. I am still finishing up the
waterfall trimmings but will have to add those after the weekend is over!

VERY nice photo abums! I think my favorite pic is the "waterfall and
trellis". What a wonderful spot to hang out :-)

Nice gardens, being deep south there is so much I cant plant as it will not
tolerate the heat and no rain. I always have to look for those tags that say
heat and drought resistant or they will not survive the summer in the back
yard as it is due west.

Lovely ... absolutely lovely!

I'm interested in the size pump you have to make that generous waterfall.
Mine needs to be redone ... but I have no idea where
to even start.

Lisa, it's just beautiful - it really is.

But OMG! The green box: can the power company get to it to effect repairs
when they need to???? If necessary, can the fence come down to allow them
access? I can just see them coming in and wreaking everything so they can
"do their thing". I realize that photos can give weird depth perception . .
.. *please* tell me you left them room????

I bought a Sequence pump. It is the 2400 model of the Sequence 750 series.

http://www.mdminc.com/Sequence_750.htm

This is the link to their web page. I thought at the time they had better
flow and lower wattage and price than some of the other brands.

I also found that www.azponds.com had the best prices on them. Considerably
lower than anyone else. Good to deal with, you can call and they will help
you out with any questions.

I have to say I would definitely buy another. Twice I actually submerged it
accidentally when I was working out the kinks of my Rubbermaid container
pump box. I blew it out with the air compressor, waited a half hour or so ,
plugged it in and it is still running like a champ.

Set Up: I have a bottom drain (not through the liner) that is about four
foot hose length from the pump. My pump is probably only pumping a couple
foot head. I also liked the fact it had 2" inlet and 1 1/2 outlet also. I
bought flexible PVC hose in that size from a couple of local Pool Supply
stores. They are also a good source for the same size bulkhead fittings,
which definitely make things much nicer for connections that are leak free.
Oh yeah, the pump outlet is restricted. I probably only have the ball valve
about a third of the way open. If I had it all the way I would probably have
Niagara Falls!

Let me know if you want any more info and good luck. I am finishing the
waterfall this weekend and hiding the waterfall box. I will post more
pictures when it is complete.

Yes, I left enough room for them to be able to open the box up. The lid
swings up towards the Cannas. There is several inches of clearance between
it and the retaining wall for the waterfall. That was a big consideration in
the whole design. The cannas can be cut back if they have to get in there
and that will not make it die, which is why I chose it to hide the box. The
pond actually sits about 8 feet from the fence ( which is the utility
easement line) and the waterfall is in the easement but can be disconnected
and moved if it became necessary. The lines to the box though run along the
fence towards the side of the house and there is nothing there but plants
that they can dig up if they have too.

One other benefit I really like is no lifting that heavy pump box to clean
out the filter material. I have a priming pot with a leaf basket in it and
it catches all the big stuff the pump sucks up. The rest of my filtration
is done just by my veggie filter / waterfall box. I can see the bottom each
year until spring and then I just have to wait a few weeks for the plants to
kick in and the green water is gone. Though next year I may try a UV light
to eliminate the few weeks of green.

Ohhh .. I don't lift my pump at all. It is housed in a Ciprio
pump basket. Which doesn't require that I lift it. Couldn't
do any lifting.... But, thanks again!.
