Just a quick video where I talk about some of the differences that occur when you have water over the surface of the media in your bog filter or when you don't.
If you want to see how the ponds and bog filters that I showed in this video were built check out the videos below.

I just tickled the thumps up button. I am in the planning phase for my first Koi pond and I am really glad to have found your channel. Thanks Kev!

Thank you Kev for your instruction and explanation on how this works. Some years back I installed a 55 gal plastic bog filter and its been so clean and easy. Your the real deal and sorry for my delay in thanking you.

My bog filter has algae all over the top, the stream is completely covered in thick string algae, but pond is crystal clear! I hate the algae but i think we have to give and take a bit, and I'm giving in to the algae and accepting it will never go away so just deal with it 😂😂😂

It’s always a balance between nutrients and processing capability. At the moment the algae is helping with processing nutrients so its presence is beneficial.

A copper ionizer would work well at breaking down the algae, just have to be careful not to run it after the algae is gone. It's a little spendy for the small budget DIYer, but it may be worth the investment.

Hi Kev been a while since I commented hope your well mate 👍 just going into my second winter with my bog on the koi pond and it’s still going strong I put a bag of watercress in mine and it grows like mad even now in the cold weather also helps keep the algae at bay in the summer 👍

I ran out of rocks when I built my bog in a barrel and worried for months that I had done it wrong, but the water is clear and when I occasionally test it everything is good. It's good to know that having water in the top is just fine. I do have cyanobacteria in the spots that aren't shaded out by the water lettuce I put in the bog, but as long as it doesn't take over I think that is okay, too. It just stinks when I have to put my hands in there. I did get more rocks, and plan to add them eventually, but I hate to tamper with something that is already doing a great job.

Hi Kev I have 2 bog filters now, one basically for aesthetical enjoyment and actual functionality because that area of my yard has the space to fill up. So I have added gravel above the water level but my naughty dog is jumping on the filter and damage my plants, he tends to love eating the roots of the canna lilies! Thank you Kev

I love the moss on the rocks around your pond. What kind of moss is it.
@Ozponds
@Ozponds 7 месяцев назад
I’m not sure the moss on the rock there’s many different kinds. But I bet you are referring to the plant that looks like moss. It’s called scleranthus.

Hi Kev, or anyone with insight, can you help me think through this? I grew up with ponds in a climate where the temps rarely got below freezing. So the ponds functioned normally all year. I now live where the winters have long stretches of WELL below freezing temps (sometimes below 0°F or -17°C). What do I need to consider as I begin planning a pond for this yard?
@Ozponds
@Ozponds 2 месяца назад
Hopefully someone will give you some good advice. I’ll just say if you are going to shut the pond down for winter make sure you can completely drain all the plumbing lines.

Hey Kev. Do you have any filters where the inlet is at the base, rather than a pipe feeding it in over the top to the base? As I've mentioned in another video of yours, I've had to take this approach otherwise I lose flow rate due to the head height.
@horsey123
@horsey123 7 месяцев назад
I think by watching Kevs videos, the idea of having the pipe come up and down again is so you can add a valve up top to stop filter syphoning dirty water back into pond when power goes out 😊
@12Jerbs
@12Jerbs 7 месяцев назад
@@horsey123 I appreciate that. I guess the problem was that head height wasn't really mentioned in the calculations. So being a total novice, I got a pump that had the appropriate flow rate based on the size of the pond and the expected flow rate (e.g. the Pond Pump Flow Rate video) but the head height completely blew those numbers out of the water (pardon the pun), so I was left to feeding into the bottom of the filter, rather than going over the top. Lesson learnt, but I'd rather not have to go out and buy another pump and leave the other one collecting dust.
