house. Two 4" BDs to 500 gallon DIY settlement with DIY micro screen to four

DIY sand/gravel filters with DIY Savio UVs, to three TPRs.

The flagstone still needs to be finished. I hope
to inclose this pond some day with a passave solar sun room.
Water garden, once again an old picture. Liner
pond, about 12,500 gallons, 4 feet deep. One 4" BD to 500 gallon DIY settlement

manifold for flushing. Then to one Evolution ES 5500 pump to center water fall
and/or two TPRs. Savio skimmer to Evolution ES 5500 pump to water fall at the
house. The water fall flows down a creek about 16 feet long with a big stepping
stone in it. This pond is full of lilys, goldfish, wakins, and muts. The
bridge was copied from the "Zig Zag" bridge at Duke Universty.
