The pictures below are of Bob & Lynn's pond
The pond is roughly 15 feet square with large rounded corners and is 7ft 6ins deep.
There are four bottom drains and two of these are fitted with diffusers.
The pond was built using 18 x 9 x 4 inch concrete blocks laid on their side to form a nine inch thick wall. It was then rendered and fibreglassed.

On the left of the Main pond photo you can see a balcony which has been built over the filter housing, and has table and chairs and makes an ideal viewing platform. At the back of the photo you can see the large waterfall with many plants around it.
The Second photo shows the floor of the above mentioned bacony, and the access to one set of filters. The other set can be serviced from inside the filter chamber which is accessed from a seperate door built into the side..
There are two filter systems running in parallel, and each one consists of a large vortex chamber and two square vortex filter chambers with Japanese matting.
Each set of filters has its own Yamitt pump and 55 watt UV. They are connected up so that either set can run the pond on it's own.The third and fourth picture is of their Quarantine system
