External bog filters like that work really well too, great idea on the stock tank! I have seen a lot of build like that but don't have any personal experience with them.
What you need will depend on the pump model you select. My neighbor and I have the same pump and in our case we use 1.25" ID flexible PVC also sold as "spa tubing" from local big box hardware stores. Around here 25' is about $115. This fits directly onto the largest quick coupler that is packaged with our pump.
What kind of pump did you use? I don’t think a regular sump pump is designed for continuous run 24/7… but maybe I’m wrong. If you could give some pump details, that would be great. Much appreciated!
You're right! You absolutely want a pond pump. I talk a bit about pump sizing in some winter videos but both my pond and my neighbor's pond use a Laguna max flo pump which is made to run 24/7 and so far has done that without issue for 3 years.
would be much easier and cheaper to use perforated land drain than flex pvc as the pipe is flexible cheaper and already has slits in it perfect for your bog
The thing is you don't want slits for the entire run, so you'd have to work out how to connect the ADS drain pipe to the check valve . All the drainage pipe I've seen is corregated so there'd be some figuring out to do on that connection.
Its beautiful thank you for sharing God bless you always have a beautiful day
Great to see your vid on building the bog stream and
Piping design. !!!
awesome! I used my bog filter a stock tank even my pond bcoz its really hard to dig here I live here in vegas

Can you post a link to the plastic vault in the intake bay? I'd like to learn more about it
This is pretty similar to what I bought when I built the pond: Little Giant SF 31-Gallon a.co/d/18uecAZ
ozponds recommends using a breather pipe in the bog instead of a check valve since they can fail, have you experienced the check valve ever failing?
I've gone a few years without a failure but it is possible. Most important thing is accounting for a power failure whether a breather or check valve.
Is the flexible PVC inside diameter 2" or 3" ?
