Time Lapse: Making of a garden pond and waterfall 

I have four little supervisors, they all like to make sure I am doing a good job.

@@themusicalgardener1166 Lol, I have 3 and I know what you mean. Be blessed.

LOL... same here

I can't remember exactly what size pump I used now but essentially you are going to be looking at when choosing a pump is the size of your pond (how many litres/gallons), how far away from you pump the water will have to travel (the head) and what you are putting in the pond (are you stocking it with fish or is it a natural pond). I built another pond last year when we moved home and this one is a natural pond so I did not care about recycling so much of the water, just that I had good flow rate for the waterfall. There is a useful guide here you use: bradshawsdirect.co.uk/blog/calculating-your-ponds-required-flow-rate/

Thanks Angie. This particular pond was two houses ago so not sure what is like right now. For the 2 years that I was at that house for though it was really good fun. Got lots of wildlife visiting. Since we moved house I have built another pond. This time it is a split level pond and I have the videos for that one up on my channel as well. We we plan on staying put this time!

They always are. They like to poop in all the holes I dig.

I think for this pond I used a pump that would push 6000 litres per hour. But it depends on what you want your pump to do and where you want it situated. If you are looking to keep something like Koi or sturgeon then you will want to be considering about shifting a lot of waste through a filter. For this pond all I really cared about is pushing the water to the top of that water feature, so I was more concerned about the max head of the pump (how far and high it would push the water). When looking at pumps it should tell you the max head and how many litres per hour it manages, it should also tell you the size to pond it can handle. Hope that helps.

Cuanto tiempo te llevo aserlo

stagnant means the water is not moving and its being pumped from the main pool to a water fall flowing back in the pond, so how could it be stagnant just need a uv filter to remove the algae

Good job I am not a professional waterfall builder. However, the water goes up to the top of the waterfall and then comes back down into the pond, so does the job for me. Thanks for watching though.
