- Just a quick video showing how I calculate and design a DIY ecosystem pond with bog filter, intake bay and stream. The idea is that by showing you how I do it you are able to create your own ecosystem pond without spending a fortune on components or kits. It's really not hard to create a pond with crystal clear water when the filters are sized correctly. You can also use cheap and common equipment to achieve this.
If you want to view my downloadable pdf, contact me or read helpful articles to help you build a pond you can find that information at ozponds.com
If you are looking for efficient pumps for your pond DC Sine wave pumps are some of the most efficient and affordable that I have come across. These are the type that I've used in my ponds- (amazon link) amzn.to/42PtzIs (if you make a purchase I may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you).

Thanks Kev! Very timely, I've watched a bunch of your videos but must have missed the ones about slow flow through the bog filter - I was going to put the whole waterfall flow through the bog filter 🤪
I’m glad I made this one then 😉
Great information and opinions as always. I am a guesstimator as well. Thank you for making the math available, It is a big help in pre construction process. I want to make sure I have ALL my materials on site before I build. Until then I am happy "Living the Stocktank Lifestyle". 85F and water clear as glass. Make a great weekend Kev!
😂 living the stock tank lifestyle. Love it 👍. You have a great weekend too Dave.
@@Ozponds 95F and still clear as glass ! Mid June in SE Louisiana is no joke. Even the rocks have very little build up. The bog filter is full of slimy algae, but it helps act like a very fine biological filter that my mechanical filter misses. If you are still reading this please make sure you are subscribed to this channel. Trust me now and believe me later
This was the video I was looking for a month for... Perfect...
I still might reach out to you to validate my plan (once ready) and for suggestions as it will have to work on the first try...
Again! Amazing video! Thank you!
I’m glad it helps you 👍
Hey Kev it’s James. Love your videos and keep uploading mate.
Will do James. 👍
Another great video Kev 👍🏽
Kev, I keep coming back to this video while I double check my calculations. Your .pdf is a great resource, too. Thanks for the inspiration of making a beautiful pond on a budget! I've been ordering pond supplies over the past month and will be breaking ground soon. Cheers!
You’re going to do a great job!
Thanks Kev for your great information. I am planning to expand or rebuild my turtle pond over the winter. I utilised your information on a bog filter on my current turtle pond and made a huge difference over summer ( I live outside Lithgow). The size of this pond is pretty much what I plan to build.
Awesome 👍
Complimenti ,lavoro bellissimo,amo i tuoi videi,peccato che in Italia non esistono esperti in materia laghetti,io mi sono costruita da sola un laghetto di 8mila litri facendo esperienza da sola non trovo nessuno che mi può aiutare,grazie per i consigli,un caro saluto
Do it yourself is better anyway. If you understand how everything works you don’t need expensive “experts”.
Hey Kev
Can you maybe do a video on combating mulm buildup on the bottom of you pond? I built a pond following your bog in a barrel guide a few years ago. The water is crystal clear, but I'm getting a rather large mulm buildup.
Have you watched this video I made a year back? Pond mulm basics| No need to drain your pond

Howdy, great info as always. I may have missed it. Do you have any previous video that elaborates on pond jets or their purpose? Thanks.
Not really a specific video. I should make one. Basically they improve circulation and decrease maintenance (netting or vacuuming the pond).
Thanks!
No thank you. You are very kind 😊
Thanks for this, very useful 👍
I’m glad 😊👍
Advanced geoengineering technology bro nice
Hi Kev, the pumps you linked to in Amazon come with US plugs yea? Do you use an outdoor adaptor or something to run these pumps in Australia? Cheers
In Oz you can buy them on eBay with Aussie plug.
wow
Can you do a video about how to get ground water out from behind the liner
I think I will 👍
Hi ! I would like to know once aigain the name of the bonzai like plant on the left at 1:19 ? Thanks !
My guess would be your referring to acacia cognata
So .. is Rambo still alive? I can't get any information out of Informant the Frog, he's in the reeds but ain't croak'in.
Rambo didn’t make it. Private cormorant and warrant officer heron have won the war.
@@Ozponds I'll inform his family on this side of the sandpit of this great tragedy. It wont be easy. 😔
Hi Kev, (or anyone). Is there any reason why you can’t just build the bog filtration area inside the pond? Water still hast to filter up through gravel etc.(?)
It’s certainly an option, many people do it. Can make back flushing a bit more challenging but that’s the only real drawback.
@@Ozponds thanks Kev. I appreciate you and what you do here.
Hi, nice video as always, How do you calculate the AVERAGE DEPH?? I´m bulding a 4x5m and in the deepest part it will be 1m. the shelves will be more or les 40-50cm wide. Thanks!!!
It’s guesstimating. A situation like that depending on the size of the deep zone, I might decide average depth is 60-70cm.
@@Ozponds thanks!!!
Subbed! We recently bought a house with a fish pond, started watching a bunch of your videos (probably the best pond channel on youtube).
I'd love to swim in the pond however and both the bog filter and pump are too small. I estimate the pond houses about 6500l water while we have a 3500l pump. What would be the most effective, buying a second pump where both pumps add up to 6500l or replace the pump I have now with just 1, 6500l pump?
As for increasing bog filter size, is it better to have 1 big one, or 2 medium sized ones, in series with eachother, or with seperate cirquits in case I run 2 pumps?
The house required a lot of work but the pond is my favourite one for sure!
6500L seems very small for a swim pond. For a swim pond you want a 25% or more bog filter. You can create two seperate ones or one big one whatever’s easier. Depending on bog or bogs final size, pump should be around 6x volume of bog. Hope that helps.
@@Ozponds ye I probably should've worded it differently, it's not really to swim, more to just jump in on a hot day or after a sauna type of deal. Thanks!
Hi kev, planning on building a bog filter, just asking do you need to use natural rock in the bottom or can i use some old paving i have lying aroud to save a bit of cash ?
I think old pavers would be fine. It’s just to provide surface area and allow water to flow through easily.
@@Ozponds ok, cheers mate 👍

I don’t know how. The auto subtitle box is turned on.
Hi Kev i emailed you several days ago
Pond looks good. 👍
