Pond descriptions

Alfonso & Lupita's pond

The hole system runs with a 3/4 hp swimming pool that sucks the water from the last chamber (vegetable filter) and then pumps it trough a 21" sand filter and finally the water returns to the pond by 3 venturies and 3 water falls.
Maybe the arrangement and size questions the most accepted flow of onece to twice the pond capacity per hour, my pond takes 6 hours to recycle all the water so per day it only turns it over 4 times.

This website started with a booklet which I made up originally for the help of those members of the BKKS - South Wales Section who were intending to start building a koi pond, and as the website has expanded more information and articles from other people have been included. This is for general guidance only, and we do not take any responsibility for problems that might occur by following these ideas. It is important that you check out everything in your area, and check on local laws and rules that may apply.
