Building wetland filter #1 for my DIY swim Pond
Great job, I just started digging my pond/natural pool. Can you describe how you clean out the bog filter?
@@MegaGoldring I haven’t had to clean It yet, but what I’ll do is turn off the pump; rinse all the gravel down which will push the sediment into the clean out barrel; then pump out that dirty water with a sump pump
Thank you
Does blue dye, dye your skin
@@mistyrichardson6041 no
whats the electricity bill like?
@@inspectorseb2887 hasn’t been a noticeable difference so far
정말 멋집니다. 당신의 모든 비디오들은 정말 큰 도움이 됩니다. 새로운 영상 기다리고 있어요!
What filtration do you have planned?
@@cliveraymond1712 check out my recent videos on my “wetland filter”.
Fantastic video, I plan to follow your example. Just curious, do you feel the bog filter and stream cause more water loss through evaporation? I'm thinking about keeping the total exposed water surface relatively low, which would mean a deeper bog and perhaps a closed pipe leading to the pond waterfall. Already I need to top off my pond about once/week, so I'm concerned that adding a bog filter will increase the evaporation.
@@icodeandmakevideos567 yeah I’m sure they do especially in the hot summer months. For me, I think the beauty It adds is worth topping the pond off a little more often, but I could see why someone would want to limit evaporation the best they could.
Looks awesome!!!
@@KC-fl9xs thank you!
Best waterfall install video i have watched.....and i have watched ALOT!!! Getting ready to install a waterfall myself. Thanks for a great detailed and well explained video, you made it very understandable and visual.
@@1972Celeste thanks so much! I’m really trying to help out other DIYers like myself so more people can enjoy a water feature in their own yards. I’m about to start my second filter and waterfall which I’ll hopefully have a video of in the next couple weeks.
Looks beautiful! ❤ Can you explain where you have the pumps, lights, jets plugged in at?
What size is your Wetland and what pump do you use? Looks amazing!
@@Gaahlinator it’s about 11’x9’. The pump is a DAB E-Swim 150 variable speed. Flows up to around 8,000 GPH
@@Gaahlinator and thank you!
The rocks alone cost more then my house ....😂
@@zzman5306 definitely not cheap 😅 Luckily I was able to get some on marketplace for free.
Very cool
@@zzman5306 thank you!
This video is the best I've seen that clearly explains the nuances of a bog filter installation.
@@Uracantaino glad you thought so!
Awesome pond you got there buddy.
@@rogerr4469 thank you!
Greg needs to come see your work great job
@@JFresh104 thank you! I’d love that haha
Looks great! What size is the pond and how long is the stream?
@@fourx4me thanks! The pond is about 30’x18’ and the stream is about 8’ long. The wetland filter is about 11’x9’.
amazing job!!
@@user-lx3rl1yl9v thank you!
It looks amazing and will look even better when you've finished. Cant wait to see that
@@kevinbentley8351 thank you!
This looks awesome, great job man! I currently have 4 smaller DIY ponds with turtles and fish. Id really like to make one big pond similar to yours to combine them all! Is there any chance you're able to give a ballpark breakdown on cost?
@@axlmcintosh6148 Yeah mine cost about $25k. There’s a lot that can vary based on location though. For example $5k of my cost was in running power to my external pumps and having the pond grounded by professional electricians to meet safety codes.
I just cleaned mine out. 4m in diameter aboit 1.3m deep, 8 workers 6 days to remove. It was a big mess. Not going down that path again. Sediment build up in the centipede pipe is not the problem. Its when sediment builds up in the various media level. Its near impossible to clean. Its a matter of time. Mine was close to 5 years old. I am going to do a seperate mechanical filtration before running water through the bog. The bog is purely only for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate conversion and home for good bacteria. Your still early days. U might want to reconsider your entire set up.
@@sweeyong7756 there are hundreds of examples of people using this set up successfully. I’m sorry It didn’t work out for you, but I’m gunna roll with It and see how It goes.
@@TheStump29 good luck. Keep us updated.
@@sweeyong7756 thanks, will do 🤟🏼
Great work man‼️
@@IllumiLuxeTimbercraft thank you!
Looks really great!
@@bigrockshow76 thanks!
Like 48…..the pond is coming along….good on you Friend!
The rocks look great.
@@ChrisShortyAllen thanks!
looks awesome!!! Umbrellas are key. We have a 11" cantilever. Great for adding shade to help keep the water cooler. Hoss.
@@Hosstyle. absolutely! It would be hard to use the beach area without It.
it keeps getting better and better. once you are done make a video of the cost of this whole project and the parts you used and from where you got them to save money etc etc
@@6HARIS thanks that’s a great idea!
Looks so nice!!
@@hlmc7571 thank you!
Super nice!
@@allkindsofoutdooractivities thanks!
@@TheStump29 you are welcome
Do you have any issues with bees or wasps? Looks great !!!!
@@pristinegrounds the pond attracts many bees and wasps, but haven’t had an issue with them. They just come for a drink and fly away. Thank you!
@@TheStump29 Might wanna check around your property, after I turned mine on they came and begun building hives and nest all over the property by the waterfall
That is AMAZING! Well Done Sir. Few Questions: Re. Liner in the Stream area. Did you seam it? What adhesive did you use to seam it? How did you layer it? top end=under/over, & Lower end=over/under ? Thnx Hoss
@@Hosstyle. thank you sir! So the liner going from the wetland to the stream is seamed and the stream section going into the pond is just overlapped on top of the pond liner. There’s a big enough drop to prevent water from getting underneath. I just used a seam kit that I got online. I believe it’s from Webbs Water gardens. Basically used a primer, then a double sided “tape” to connect the liners, then put another single sided cover tape on top of that. There’s some videos on UA-cam that do a great job showing how to do It. I recommend Tussey Landscaping’s video.
Thats looking great my man! Cant wait until im able to do something similar! For a one man job you are killing it!
@@12razorp thanks dude!
Hi sir, I noticed that in the beginning of the video, you have the stagnant water, but in the end, the water is moving, could do please do more explanations on how to actually make water move?
@@perternotpan I just turned the pump on. The pump couldn’t be started until the stream was done, because that’s how the water gets from the intake bay, to the pump, underground through flex pipe, into the wetland filter, through the stream, and back into the pond
We are thinking about a pond but we are on an Artesian Well….We have to think about this some more. We also have winters with freezing temperatures! You are in Texas and we are in Newfoundland, Canada 🇨🇦
@@gbltheolechurch5acrehomestead awesome! I’m not familiar with that part of Canada, but I know I’ve seen many of these ponds in very cold climates.
@gbltheolechurch5acrehomestead; I live in Ontario Canada. I built a pond & river in my back yard 4 years ago. It winters well. I've left the fish (Koi & pond gold fish) in there over the winters as well & haven't lost one. I stop the waterfall &pump around end of October; stop the feeding around 9*C & add a water heater to allow the gases to escape. That's it. Thnx Hoss.
Like 67! Stopping by to see what you are up to New FRIEND! We are Mr. Garry and Mrs. Betty at The Ole Church 5 Acre Homestead!
@@gbltheolechurch5acrehomestead hello!
Great looking build. May I ask what did the stone and gravel cost?
@@stevethorne4978 thanks! I wanna say I’m probably around $6-7,000 into rock and gravel. I did get quite a bit of stone for free on marketplace also.
Your stream turned out very well. Thanks for sharing!
@@Will_Grow_Plants thank you!
geat job. Once you are done come to Katy help build mine :)
@@6HARIS I never wanna move a boulder again after this one 😂
@@TheStump29 btw that really great idea of using plastic pallets and barrell with a pipe instead of buying Aqua center blocks and their centerpiedee module stuff. Basically it does same thing. I might use your design too to save up atleast some cost :)
@@6HARIS thanks! An idea I saw somewhere online and It worked out pretty good!
Looks great brother! Nice work!
Pretty
Good Job!
@@SDR15160 thank you!
Looking awesome great work . Wish I could find some linner
Great work!!
@@gr_aquatics thank you!
I really love your videos, you have a new subscriber. I don't know about my fellow subscribers but I really wouldn't mind a "deep dive" (PUN intended) into the process, I noticed you showed how you apply the foam, but never got to see how you decided to go in the end.
@@mariofix thanks! What would you like more explanation on? I’m trying to help people as much as I can
Appreciate sharing your experience in such detail. The outcome is truly impressive.
