That really was a fun project to watch being built and I appreciate you checking back to give us an update. It looks phenomenal! I am a little surprised though that the water is not as clear as I would have expected, especially with that much water flow and circulation. Great project!

@EdThePondProfessor 3 года назад

I agree, I saw pictures from two weeks prior to my visit and it looked incredible!!! We had a series of hot sunny days and they told me that the pond suddenly became murky......

Thanks so much, Ed, for the follow-up! What an interesting project from beginning to end. They should auction off those koi babies for a park fundraiser. My favorite view is from the top of the waterfall. You can really see the project's scope.

@oscarkromhout7621 3 года назад

You know what would be a cool subject for a video from you Ed? How do you guys "make" the bacteria that you sell? Or the manufacturer/breeder of that stuff. I always wondered! Is it just a large pond? Is it some sort of breeding house? What are the techniques and difficulties in doing it? How does the manufacturer decide what bacteria to breed and add to the product? etc etc. I think that would be super interesting!

@bagsga9454 3 года назад

Will they be able to keep the waterfall running through the winter that far north? If so, it will make some gorgeous ice sculptures around the edges!

@EdThePondProfessor 3 года назад

We designed it to run 365 days/year but I don’t know if they get a lot of people in the park during the winter???

@michellestewart1459 3 года назад

Question for the professor... how long do you have to let a dead pine tree sit before you can safely add it to an ecosystem pond that you eventually want to have coi in? Or any fish really i guess... or is it just all together a no for in the pond

@EdThePondProfessor 3 года назад

Great question! I typically don’t use pine because it decays quickly, Cedar and Cypress are the best and I’ll use a lot of Oak too. With that being said you can use those species immediately after being cutdown or harvested

Incredible water fall..woW..but why the water is not Crystal clear

@EdThePondProfessor 3 года назад

Thanks! I know....... We’ve been in a drought for the past 2 months with intense heat and this created murky water, it’ll get better!

@bradgarms8434 Год назад

Could you run a pond of this size off of a solar system? or does it require to much electric.

@TheLimitlessLiving 3 года назад

Looks fantastic. How much did it cost to complete this project? Because I’m interested in creating it on my new land.

@emmamiller4832 Год назад

I'd love to know the pumps you used for the waterfall!

@EdThePondProfessor Год назад

Tsurumi B Series 10Hp Submersible Pump

@bradshantz2272 3 года назад

Hi ed! Question for you, why didn't you run a pipe into the water for the discharge pipe at the top

@EdThePondProfessor 3 года назад

Great question! The waterfall doesn’t run continuously, when the pump is turned off and there’s a pipe running into the upper pooling area the water would siphon back down through the piping by gravity, this would cause the pump impeller to spin backwards. This is not good for the pump when it happens on a routine basis. The “Air Gap” between the pipe discharge point and the upper pool will prevent this

@bradshantz2272 3 года назад

Thank you, good to know!!

@Hotobu 3 года назад

@victorvaz2537 3 года назад

Do you check pH? The pH here tends to go up to 9. pH risinig is a real problem for ponds or is it just normal?

@EdThePondProfessor 3 года назад

A pH of 9 is Ok if it’s stable, if it fluctuates throughout the day that’s a problem

@niquebarrett7400 3 года назад

Wonderful work but sorry u guys never put in a second waterfall.

@karlolim625 3 года назад

why is it not as clear as your other ponds?

@EdThePondProfessor 3 года назад

I know!!! We’ve been struggling with a drought and intense heat for the past two weeks and the pond became murky...... Biological filtration is effective but it will fluctuate throughout the year, It will go back to being clear after we get some rain......

@Eric.Mercado 2 года назад

@@EdThePondProfessor But I thought the rain also messes with the water clarity? I've heard both Greg uüand Brian mention poor water clarity after it rains....so what's the deal?

@Buzinfree777 3 года назад

It’s a beautiful pond🥰 I only have one objection the pipe on the top of the waterfall looks kinda tacky. 🤷‍♀️ It should of been hidden by a rock or something so you can’t see the pipe. A natural waterfall wouldn’t have a pipe on top. 🤷‍♀️ You did a beautiful job with everything else though. I love the red bridge 🥰

@EdThePondProfessor 3 года назад

I agree! The pipe is not visible to visitors/viewers I walked to the top of the waterfall to show it from a construction standpoint, It’s actually completely hidden from view

@heathergarcia6949 3 года назад

@AW-yv9sq 3 года назад

I prefer a more natural looking pond

@Eric.Mercado 2 года назад

If I'm being honest, this is bordering giving me "unattractive smelly swampy pond" vibes. The worst water quality I've ever seen come from ya'll. Not sure if it was disappointment, confusion, or concern heard in your voice throughout the video, especially when you first showed the pond. A 2 month heat drought was your explanation behin everything and time, rain, and cooler temperatures were your recommended resolution. 🤔Did things things improve for them? I'm in Arizona, so does that mean my water would always look like that due to our regular heat droughts we stay in? Did you really think that was the problem or was it an under preforming filtration design? Perhaps the customer's abundance of fish is too much for the system...all that fish food and fish waste?

@EdThePondProfessor 2 года назад

Very perceptive…… It’s actually doing great now, I think I caught it in between cycles, Working with nature is always a challenge with a lot of changing factors. I’d be lying if I said it’s always perfect because it’s not! It takes some basic maintenance and it needs to be setup properly in the beginning. Even a simple patch of Turf Grass can turn into a nightmare of not taken care of properly…….

@Eric.Mercado 2 года назад

@@EdThePondProfessor Agreed. But turf don't cost 1/3rd of what a project that size goes for. Lol. Thanks for the reply buddy. 👍 Glad to hear everything is working & looking the way they should now for the customer. Beautiful feature.
