Put a pond in your life
This pond has a capacity of 1150 water litres.
Global dimensions
Layout drawing: In green color are the way areas, in brown are the vegetable areas.
On the grass we draw the pond shape, this draw is performed with flour or another ecologic powder and following the computer drawing data.
To maintain this draw several days is neccessary to hammer in a plastic hose on the flour line.
Finally we starts the pond excavation.
The pond excavation will be performed in a stepped form.
In this moment is possible to delete the plastic hose used to maintain the grass pond draw.
This pond was excavated to a maximum deep of 70 cm (27,5 inch.).
Also is neccessary to delete all the stones and to smooth, as to be required,
the excavation surfaces that can impair the PVC sheet that will cover all the pond excavation areas.
Before to install the PVC sheet, is neccesary to cover with sand all the pond excavation areas.
PVC sheet initial location.
In this moment is supplied water on the PVC sheet. The water weight will produce the adaptation of the PVC sheet to the excavation areas.
Now the pond is almost filled and is the moment to remove the stones that maintains tight the PVC sheet diring the water filled.
When the pond is water full filled, can be removed some PVC sheet excess.
Two days will be maintained the water on the PVC sheet to obtain the final and perfect adaptation
of the PVC sheet to the excavation areas and also to check absence of water leaks due to punctures in PVC sheet.
Ending this step successfully, we will start the pond crowning point.
This is the final of the pond crowning point.
Finally, we added concrete between stone and stone to increase rigidity.
Now we can remove all the rest of PVC sheet excess. We can also to dcor the pond.
We explain now the filters installation.
This is the installation of the piping and filters used to the water processing. All of them is assembled on a slab.
In this photograph can be see the biological and UV filters and also the electric connexion box for the UV filter and the pump pond.
The pond pump is under the water and impel the water as show in the photo.
The pond pump is on a support home manufactured and made of PVC piping, PVC glue and a heat gun.
