| may I emaial youu directly?
My email is hhiii@aol.com all good points and that is why I am asking for advice. I do know my drainage well in that location and my patio drains right iinto the first flag stone on the walkway. you can also see on one pic the edge closest to my patio a water line abouut 2 inches on my liner. I did build up that edge about an additional 2 inches or so to ensure no runooff into the pond but will not know for sure till the next gullie washer we have. as for my clear box that will house my gravity filter pump inside pond pumping water into the bottomm of filter pushing water through media. my intent was to use the clear box for 2 reasons for rock to lean against hiding all the out of water filter. and this way I can lift out filter box for cleaning.. I understand about the trraped gook the rocks will house and good point there... oh and i do have liner below the clear box to keep water form exiting pond. the filter box is water tight and only water will be dumped over the box onto a rock formation on he pond side of the clear box.. I do want too understannd your logic we might be thinking about the same things thanks for your input and if I am still missing your point please please restate so I can correct which is much easier now then later.. oh and the brick wall behind pond would never let water over it is it is well above grade on my back yard behind. |

| hhiii, I responded to this in your other post concerning the construction. |

| yes I saw that. All good points and i am going to build up my lower end top lip. I agree never know and do not want runoff in the pond. I think i did not explain my filter to you very well as i am not usiing my clear box as the actual filter. The clear box is going to act as the outer box that the rocks can lean against covering up the other filter box that will siit inside the clear box reason for this is so i can lift out the filter box since it will nto have any rocks leaning against it. The filter box has 2 bulk head fittings that stick through the u shaped cut out of the clear box sending filtered water down a slanted rock / waterfall. so I am also wondering why no others in this forum have commeented... I like ideas from other eyes so i can think outsiide my box! thanks again! |
