Topping off water or auto fill valve?
i'm debating the pond thing, the wife is bouncing off the walls hoping it
comes thru... water changes and auto fills came to mind... do ponders just pull over the hose and add water or do they incorporate a top off valve in the system somewhere, and if so, where? at the trickle filter? -- | RedForeman ©® fabricator and creator of the ratbike streetfighter!!! | ========================== | 2003 TRX450ES | 1992 TRX-350 XX (For Sale) | '98 Tacoma Ext Cab 4X4 Lifted.... | ========================== | ø¤°`°¤ø,¸¸¸,ø¤°`°¤ø,¸¸¸,ø¤°`°¤ø,¸¸,ø¤°`°¤ø,¸¸¸,ø¤° `°¤ø,¸¸,ø¤°`°¤ø | ((((º`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸.·´¯`·.¸.

We use a toilette valve. Never have to do a thing. You can see it on the
website (below). Easy to install.

I have a dedicated whole house filter on the pond (chlorine filled water
here in TX) that is hooked to my sprinkler system main-line ($30). It runs through a pressure reducer ($4) and into a stock tank float switch ($12). This is attached to my first settling tank (a used horse water barrel). Makes for a nice slow refill. Keeps from shocking the fish. You want to avoid any mass water changes.
