I can imagine how frustrating that must be. Please keep in mind that every water feature is a custom install, even when using a kit. What kind of information are you looking for? I'd be glad to chat with you at 888-713-7771 m-f Pacific time
@@ColumbiaWaterGardens I would gladly spend the money on the best kit you have if I could at least get a general idea on everything included and how it's set up.
@boardwalkbw7130 I would gladly coach you for free on the installation. There are a few kits that come to mind, where are you located? Call me and let's talk.
@@ColumbiaWaterGardens We have a family compound on acreage in West Ga...send me your number...we want a large, very large swimming pond as its where we will have large events. Then, later we plan on making a separate fishing pond
OK, So where does this algae come from? Is it in your water? Does the wildlife transmit it into the water as they drink? Off their lips OR off their feet? Is it in the air? Where OH where? I gotta plan. Buy a brand new sanitized dog dish and fill it with bottled water. Set it up high like on a ladder where racoons and possums cant get to it. And let it sit for several days to see if algae appears. It must be left uncovered. What about all the birds? Whats a Mother to do? I got it!!! Put the dog dish in my greenhouse up high. !
At 4 to 5 days of drinking 1 1/2 gallons a day you start to get a pressure headache from all the heavy metals detoxing from your brain. These are the heavy metals the food corporation poisoned the processed foods with.
Yes. A pond should be explorable, yet interestingly intimate. We believe in water features that invite the family outdoors. Please call me at 888-713-7771 x4
The ice melted really fast and then i had a big puddle of water that i had to carefully dump somewhere after trying to left up an upside down lid. My bowl kept clattering from the boiling water because i guess i should have put more water in there. I don't know how long i had it going but the nose drove me nuts and i stopped. I barely had an 8th cup of water. I'll try it again. Without ice and hopefully it won't take hours to get a gallon of distilled water.
That looks pretty shallow. Check local codes before doing this. In many places running PCV conduit underground requires a minimum depth of 18"-24". You can usually go a little shallower with metal conduit, but I always worry about it rusting out eventually.
Ive got a 18 foot x 14 foot, 4 feet deep raised kio pond. 12 good sized kio. Ita been in about 10 months and had only 1 plant in it. All of a suddwn the whole pond turned geen. I've trwated the water a couple of time and have 2 20,000 pressure pumps and filter system pumping thought 40,000 of the water per hour. It's not atring algae but free floating, and it's a nightmare
That's an old video 😅 The savio skimmer draws water from around the sides, through the pad and into the pump. We don't install them anymore, but we service them. I don't like their design because when the filter pad gets dirty it starves the pump of water and can cause premature failure of the pump in my experience.
I just made concrete posts 4" in diameter with PVC and used your technique. To mid the post to get the tee look. The contractor loves it. Thank you Sir..
It never ceases to amaze me. How arrogant people can be. In case you didn't know you had to learn all of this stuff some way. There's nothing stopping your client hell from going on, Google the internet and with a little common sense and research they can learn the exact same things you know. To belittle, your customers for actually educating themselves is a bit of a turn off your business. I would not want to do business with someone who looks down on me for educating myself.
Point made and accepted. I appreciate your candor as it holds me accountable to the way I may say things. What I failed to communicate clearly, and I accept full responsibility, is that often times people search for the answer they want, not the answer they need. The fact is that a pond in Indiana will perform differently than a pond in Wisconsin and Illinois. I've worked in all three states, and although the climate is similar, the soil is different. The impact soil has on a pond is rarely discussed, and in this video's example, the homeowner used incomplete Google advice and caused her pond to fail. I need to be more caring 💯%. I also need to explain the "why" better. Thank you for your well meaning comment. It hits home, and is well received. Happy ponding! -Carl
@@ColumbiaWaterGardens I appreciate that. Although in your defense, it's pretty stupid to leave the soil on the plants. You would think that'd be a common Sense thing. You are absolutely right about people looking for the answer they want as opposed to the answer they need. But everyone has a learning curve
I do salt my fish , same salt as you use. fish are in healthier shape as some new fish from store had skin issues. kids used to get me new baby koi each year. now my koi reproduce faster than i can handle. the salt is good for them. my pond is 4500 gallons. the salt helps my fish heal if they get a heron strike that damages a scale or two.
Thank you for affirming my video. It's a touchy subject and I was hesitant to produce. Thats why I backed up my topic with evidence from top experts. Have a great day and please subscribe 🙏
Hello Carl - I live in Alberta in a small town and am redoing my pond with big rocks. I came across your video and used your technique. It worked awesome. Used two 2 inch straps so that my friend was strapping a rock, while I was placing and unhooking. We should have also had 1 inch straps for the smaller rocks, but we made the 2 inch straps work - Thank you for the video!
That's awesome 😎! I may have about 30 different straps in my collection. Different lengths and widths. I'm starting a job in a few weeks where we will have 2 excavators running at the same time. Thank you for the kind feedback, I love helping others, and I'm glad to have helped you. Happy ponding! -Carl
Since you're new at this method. Remember that weight cinches it tight. When you set the rock,the cinch will loosen. Set it and forget it... 😂 Good luck 👍
There's always a rock, or a brick, or buried utility line right where you need to bore. One moment of indescretion can cost a lot of moola. Bid Accordingly Fellows.
Well, if the description doesn't give you enough information, you are more than welcome to call me. I'm in the office this morning and the number is 888-713-7771
OK so I want to make sure I have this correct. You say dose 3x the amount the bottle shows every 3 days til the water clears (on the microbe lift pbl) so the bottle says 16 oz 1st dose then 2 more doses over a 4 week period of 6oz. Are you saying we need to put 48 oz in the pond each time every 3 days?
