Hoe gereeld vervang mens die carbon? Ek aanvaar dit werk goed met auto water refill aangesien die water genoegsame tyd het om deur carbon te vloei met die stadige vloei.

Hi Marius a pic of the 10" pre-filter cartridges on my 10,000lt pond direct from the municipal tap with gardenia fittings. To refill pond after water change all the water ex tap to pond goes via these sediment pre-filter and carbon cartridges. The refills was replaced about 6 months back. The water flow is slow due to the 15mm garden hose and take forever. The water enters the pond via settlement chamber and the via filters to pond. You can add a toilet valve in settlement chamber for auto refill.

You can see how dirty that are from direct Municipal water. On my new pond I will installing 20" cartridges and a pleated sediment pre-filter that can be hosed down to extend the live span of the cartridge.

Ek het ook so stelesel maar die munisipale druk is so swak dat die water baie stadig daar deur kom. As ek 'n waterchange van so 3000 liter doen - neem dit die hele dag om optetop.

As ek die catridges uit haal loop dit kwaai. Ek het solid filter, chloor filter and carbon filter vir heavy metals. Die solids filter (tou filter) blok verskriklik vinning op.

Ek kry my water toevoer van die 15mil kopper pype af wat in die huis inloop. Eugen het vie my 'n T aangesit en ek het dit verder met 20mm pvc pyp geneem.

Bobby hoe gaan jy verby die water druk probleem kom? Ek skat die 20' filters gaan hoer druk nodig he as die 10' filters.

The real WayneB is back, this time round please use Avitar of you 2009 WCKC Junior Grand champion, its much better looking than the owner.

I will have to exercise patience at water change times (22mm) hence the auto refill, which by the way can now only be installed in January due to early

I need to pat myself on the back, tomorrow will be day 21 for the plaster to cure.

The final bit of cladding going on the filter entrance today. The tiller is known to be the “Kaalvoet” tiller of Malmesbury. The man says shoes are only an unnecessary accessory.

Finally pond waiting for water.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Bobby what needs a transformer? Does the purifucation system use a pump or something? How does it work? How does it know when to open the water line?

Het jy dit dam in twee kleure geverf?

Hi Wayne
In the far right corner is a 63mm pipe with an electrical float switch on top and the float hanging in the pipe to measure water level, on the left hand side you will see a solenoid switch that will open and close the water when required. One can also turn the operation off at the solenoid when Eg cleaning filter equipment.

Cool - A work of art. Skat ons sal 'n pond safari nou na Malmesbury toe moet reel.

Nee, dit is seker net die weerkaatsing!

hi Oom Bobby looking good, i dont know if you have seen laminated glaas on a belcony when it is open at the top sometimes water gets in between the glass layers if it is not sealed, see yours is still open what if you get a stainless u tube and cap the glaas so water cant get in there or have they sealed it for you, im just talkeing about the very top edge.

Hi Angryant
The supplier said that it might de-laminate over time, meaning years. They recommended that I cover it with a specific silicone. I am looking to cover the top with a strip next year once I find a supplier. Any suggestions where to look will be welcome!

I received a very warm and friendly call from the SF today. This will boost my confidence for the pond filling tomorrow. Thanks OooooM Pieter for the words of wisdom.

Simply Stunning

Well done Bobby and good luck with filling it, hope all goes smoothly.

At 0815 on Friday the 11th of December 2009, and the water enters my pond.
Wayne no problem with water flow very strong via the 20" filters
