      Chris Oliver totally understand if you have not touch or felt these waterfall filters. They are professional/contractor grade. You can buy diy grade, not the same. It’s been designed and improved for 20 plus year. It might look expensive but you don’t see them second hand or broken. We replace and have a boneyard full of other cheaper components that we have had to rip out. The cheapest way to build a waterfall is once. It’s not like a TV or a toaster, you can’t upgrade or change it just like that!

      Chris Oliver they also take out a lot of building your own waterfall filter I have seen lots of DIY versions that the creators love. You can build your own or pay for the professional unit. That is not going to cause you or the people that buy your house a headache in the future

I guess it's a case of buy nice or buy twice and the overall effect is very nice so I take your point.

    Hi, thanks for putting these videos out. I’d like to request if you will, that maybe slow your video a touch and explain a little more what you are doing when you seal water pumps, placement of and removal of pumps, underlays, overlays, types of sand/rock placement, etc. while you are doing it. If to save time, make notes in the video that those of us you are watching every detail may learn and understand the right ways. I see that you do teach this on some occasions but many things get missed that are crucial, that maybe come as already obvious to you, but not to me or other eager learners.
    Thank you! Looking forward to another video.

    • @ThePondAdvisor
      @ThePondAdvisor  5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Thank you very much, the best way to learn for a lot of people is to have a go. Then repeat. Well that was the best for me anyway. Thank you very much for your kind words. I forget I have been doing this for 30 years and yes I do skip a lot. Hence why I think water features in kit form are the way forward. This allows the builder/installer to concentrate on the creative side instead of the way the features functions.

    I want a similar waterfall but not as strong as I would like it slow flowing for the birds to bathe. What was the final cost for materials for this job and is the pond box essential. I have quite a heap of spoil and I retained the heap by using sleepers which are now rotting and almost falling in due to plants and weight of soil, I think I would be best to take spoil out and have a much lower waterfall rather than the water falling from height at its final entry point.

If you have filtration in place use the spillway boxes. 12” version is available for up to 15k litres of water. Also they is the DIY waterfall filter (price point £119.98)

    Hi. Does the waterfall need to continuously run to properly filter the water or could it be turned on when I'm in the garden and turned off when I'm not? I'm just thinking of the expense of running it 24/7. Great video btw,.Thanks.

    • @ThePondAdvisor
      @ThePondAdvisor  4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      yes the filter needs to run if you are supporting aquatic life. the cost of running is about £60-£80 per years so some would say it’s nothing and other would say it’s not worth keeping the pond fish. if it’s all about the sound for you, then look at the pondless waterfalls they can be turned on and off.

    You have answered my question about pond overlay, I just cant see any around, I'll look on your site. The building up from the bottom of the pond, presumably that part needs overlay? I've used the standard liners, wished Id have gone with rubber though. Do you need overlay for pebbles/gravel? I note you said the liner is like your skin!

    Hi Pond Adviser - I have been loving your videosand the tips I have derived from them! Particularly like the lunch sequences :-D Question - what would you do if you were putting together a rockery mound for a smallish waterfall but the soil is bone dry and very fine? This is the problem I have - it's like working with dry beach sand. Impossible to carve a defined shape for the cascade in it. Should I just drench it and leave it for a bit or is there something else I can do?

    Hi, I am building a natural pond 4m x 2.6 at widest points. 60cm at deepest. With a short waterfall 1.5m long ,1m drop. I don't want to use filter and waterfall will be for occasional use. My question is what sort of pump would i use? Would appreciate your advice. Thank you

    • @ThePondAdvisor
      @ThePondAdvisor  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      A submersible pond pump, depends on the width and style of waterfall you want 4000 litres per hour (or 1000US gal) per 12” curtain style waterfall.

    Hi Mark, fantastic result.
    Watched it about 4 times to see how you work the edpm into the pond and how you create the edges, i was really struggling with that.
    I am rebuilding my own waterfal and have a lot of inspiration, i have a couple of questions if you dont mind😅😅😇😇
    Can you tell me what expanding foam you use and is it safe for fish? im thinking to go with the black scaping foam.
    Also what is the output of the pump and does is run through a pressure-filter or straight to the spillway?
    looking forward to your reply.

Question, was is the tube of white adhesive that your using? Is it made specifically for ponds? Thank you so much for sharing this one! Not everyone can afford a large pond and you have shown that a small pond can look natural as well!

      Hi Dee, if you ever want any advice I would be happy to give you advice. 😊 if you want to foam your waterfall just use expanding foam from any hardware store. It's original use is for closing the gaps in door frames and window frames and isn't expensive. I believe you will find it costs about 5 quid in the stores.

      you don’t see the waterfall foam, it’s covered in moss or grit. most expanding foams are not fish safe and make a mess the stuff we use is perfect for fish pond and waterfall construction. we do sometimes use the normal PU foam but not on fish ponds only rockery and pondless waterfalls

      It’s better if you don’t use the UVC light as this kills lots of beneficial bacteria that are free swimming. Yes I totally understand you might be better off if you have a traditional pool or a pond, with a bare liner. However if your trying to create more of an ecosystem

      Great question, depends on “a short time” this pond and waterfall have been in now for three years. No problem 😉, the way we build ponds and waterfalls are built to last a long time. The beauty off the foam is it takes the impact and moment. We have been back and serviced this pond multiple times and our rock choice is not degrading, yes other landscape stone have fallen apart in the landscape over this time period, we don’t use the cheap local stone for building these feature.
