    This is just great! I need the w,fall dish and pump but in Australia. I have not seen it here yet but have stayed away from buying too much more. It is a wonderful hobby and always to be enjoyed. That is why I like it and stay home! Am 80y and am still going strong. Richard

      Enjoy! Check out my video for the TetraPond UV sterilizer to get a nice view of the ponds.

    You are my man MATE! I got waterfalls all over the place with ponds to keep some fishes and me happy. Had this hobby for years and You are giving the best instructions and I have watched many. Hooked, yes I am but I have the time and patience and the sound of water as backgroundmusic is just relaxing. Richard in Australia

      You Yanks are prompt. Replies are no problems! God knows You are fine and Your instructions are heavenly the best. God knows and does instruct me but also does say "get on with it, do not waste a minute" Do I follow? Of course not, but there is so much to do. So where next? Just be happy!

    I recently started playing with pumps. I built a rain waterfall off my carport into a 6 ft oval feeding trough with a 3000 GPH Harbor Freight Sump Pump, very Tranquil. Also built my first Magic Fountain with a 180 gph from HF, so far very impressed. I want to do a spillway as well, think I'll make my own out of sheet metal.

      Thank you. I want to make a small back yard waterfall, but other videos didn't have a simple explanation of how the pump works. I look forward to seeing your next video.

    I'm about to go back to my hometown and am excited to have my own pondless waterfall.
    I've got 1500HJ pump and I hope this could be a great waterfall maker...
    thanks for sharing sir.

    Yeah I know I completely agree I don't know why they're so expensive

  • @alexlubbers1589
    @alexlubbers1589 9 років тому +6

    just make one out of a dust pan and some clever rockwork underneath, it gives a wider falls and has space to put filter cotton and it is cheap as dirt.

    • @hpiguy
      @hpiguy  9 років тому

      Alex Lubbers Yes, that can be done as well. There are many things that would work fine.

    Pump is rated at 620 gph, I guarantee that pump is not pushing 600 gph with that height head and amount of 20 feet of tubing. But still looks really good.👍🏻😎

    • @markclouser844
      @markclouser844 2 роки тому

      I started over. But simple you don't think that size pump could be moving that much water. I was headed to Har freight to get same pump but mine would just for a little spitter frog water feature. Thank u mark

  • @allenletizia321
    @allenletizia321 3 роки тому

    Can you put a splitter in the line and also connect 2 water spitters to the same line use the same pump ? What GPM pump would you use? Building 1 now .

  • @northernlightsrc8994
    @northernlightsrc8994 3 роки тому

    I wanna build a rc indoor track
    With a 1ft wide 8ft long 3inch deep " creek " thru the middle
    The table is 43inchs tall
    And I'd be putting a 55gallon trash can under the table as the feed.
    How much gph would I need and what would you recommend for the return at the other end . I was thinking taking a hole saw and making a 3inch hole and making a spout to a hose back to the can

  • @kylamoran3955
    @kylamoran3955 5 років тому +1

    How is the hose attached to the pump ? I’m guessing you used an attachment from the set and clamped it on ?

    • @hpiguy
      @hpiguy  5 років тому +1

      The pump has barbed fittings, you just push it on.

      You need more water pressure, bigger pump.

  • @africantwin173
    @africantwin173 7 років тому

    what kind of 220 ~volt adjustable flow waterfall pump should i get for a indoor 25 liter aquarium glass tank. the pump must be placed outside of the tank, and have adjustable flow rate. im sorry for this stupid question. im new in this aqua fish world.

  • @jasonvargas842

    Will this be a good pump for a 125 gallon pond or too much

    • @hpiguy
      @hpiguy  5 років тому

      It should work fine for the waterfall into it.

  • @1kickass
    @1kickass 6 років тому

    Is it very noisy under water? This will be going in a fish tank and i don't want something that is crazy anoying for the fish

    • @hpiguy
      @hpiguy  6 років тому

      No louder than other pumps. You can hear it hum, that's it.

    • @1kickass
      @1kickass 6 років тому

      It was very loud worked great but very loud!! So my fish would have been drove nuts i ended up getting a 400 gal a hr for a 80 gal tank for $35 and i figure i can get two later on and it would give me more for less cause with the 620 gal pump i was going to need a bunch of stuff to build a diy filter would have came to $104

      Never got to it, built a massive project with two ponds and a big filter/waterfall, needed a way bigger pump.

  • @GrandpaBillDex
    @GrandpaBillDex 9 років тому

    That falls is so much money because it has the word 'Pond' on it. Same with pond pumps. Not sure what else you can use for a water falls but if you use a sub pump that would be cheaper. Type in DIY water falls and see what UA-cam has that would be cheaper.

    • @rangerdanger222
      @rangerdanger222 6 років тому

      Don't forget to account for the efficiency of the pump or you may end up paying far more in electric costs on a cheap pump.

  • @DavidHager1
    @DavidHager1 9 років тому

    Does it need to be submersed to work?

    • @hpiguy
      @hpiguy  9 років тому

      +David “Waitwutmyname” Hager Yes, these types of pumps must be completely submerged to work. They cannot draw water up a line, they can only push it from a submerged location.

  • @shericreates
    @shericreates 5 років тому

    I can’t for the life of me get the attachments to fit or know how to put them together. The manual is terrible and just shows the parts but I can’t get them to screw in. Ugh . Can’t final anyone showing these simple steps.

    • @hpiguy
      @hpiguy  5 років тому

      They just screw in. You may be missing a part if they don't just screw together.

  • @velasquez8219

    • @hpiguy

      Yup, it died a long time ago. Using a more industrial water fall pump now.

  • @marionclivoasi3702
    @marionclivoasi3702 9 років тому

    Can I put some bio rocks in them? For the extra filtration?

    • @hpiguy
      @hpiguy  9 років тому

      +Dorito Rex You could but they would quickly clog or get pushed out of the waterfall.

    • @marionclivoasi3702
      @marionclivoasi3702 9 років тому

      What happened if they were in a net? The ponies at the bottom while the biorocks in the net on the top?

    forms a V, doesn't fall flat. me no likey

    • @hpiguy
      @hpiguy  9 років тому

      +High Hopes Correct, with 600gph flow if you let it fall that entire height it will rejoin itself. Most waterfalls will have steps and this would have the first step half a foot under it.
      If you need it to be flat the entire way you'll have to step up the flow rate a lot.
