Almost disaster
For some reason this morning I kept thinking the heron would visit my
pond. So finally I gave in to that nagging feeling, jumped out of bed, went to the window and what did I find? 13 inches of water gone from my pond!! =-O . Yes, I was downstairs in a flash to see what was going on. Apparently, after removing some debris from my pumps, the increase flow pushed some filter media over the return holes on my tanks and they were just overflowing on the ground! Bummer! So today, I will install screens around and back from the outlets to prevent that from happening again. Wheee! Happy Saturday! W. Dale Wilmdale Pond - http://home.pcisys.net/~muaddib |

I walked out to my pond this weekend and found the pump running dry and the
pond empted to the level of the height of the bucket my pump is in. A large plastic trash bag had blown into the upper pond and completely blocked the stream so the water was pumped into overflowing the upper pond and emptying the lower one. If my pump had been on the bottom of the pond as the original instructions with the pond filter/pump showed, I would have had a pond full of dry and dead fish. |
