We talk a lot about intake bays at Aquascape. We're currently working on a large project in Frankfort which is the perfect opportunity for me to talk to you about how to install an intake bay. This video is part one - part two will share more tips.

Great video...How do I work out what size my intake bay needs to be?

[@EdThePondProfessor]

Thanks!
There are three things that need to be taken into consideration,
1- The Combined flow rate for all of the pumps located within the Intake Bay. Divide the flow rate by 60 to determine the Gallons Per Minute.
You should have a “Minimum” of 1 minutes worth of water held within the Aquablox.
2- The amount of potential debris that will be captured within the Intake Bay. If you have a lot of Leaf debris, Windblown debris or Floating Algae I would increase the size of the Intake to handle the debris.
3- Frequency of maintenance, if you want to minimize the maintenance routine I would increase the size of the Intake to allow for longer periods of time between maintenance procedures.

Put's Ponds Thanks Dan!

[@danfaller1089]

How much power to run pumps ,approximate yearly cost ?

[@edbeaulieu5916]

Dan Faller This particular project will cost about $250/month but that’s if the pumps are running 24hrs/day, this is not an average backyard project, a typical ecosystem pond is about $20/month depending on the electrical cost in your community
