    Please NOTE: I Messed Up: After recording and publishing this video I realized I said "GALLONS PER MINUTE" throughout the entire video. Sorry, I'm not sure where my head was. I mean GALLONS PER HOUR!

      Hi Mike, I just wanted to let you know that I was able to get the pdf plans for the 14' Seneca Pacific Power Dory so you don't have to send yours if you had decided to. If you do wish a pdf of my 18' Carolinian Dory, message me and I will send them to you free of charge.
      Thanks again and happy new year to you and yours.

    Thank you your video was quite helpful. Do you think reducing the output of the pump will damage it in any way.

    Great video ,very informative 😉,what brought me here, pond pump and air pump .like you bought a big one for 10k pond ,10k litres an hour, was looking at the smart dimmer plug and maybe i could control the flow of the air /pond pump down or up via an app ,but your way variable controller maybe the way to go ,brilliant a big thank you from Wales UK 👌

    Hey Mike great video exactly what I was looking for. I buld alot of random things out of other stuff and my best friend decided to get me hooked on a gold fever and we got a similar slice to yours but i made a tank for it to sit in out of two 55gal drums. I just cant get my flow or amount of water correct.

    Very good idea, thanks. Just commenting that a 1.5" pipe is NOT twice flow than 2x 3/4" pipes. The section and flow grows square with the diameter.

    Happy new year to you & your family Mike. I just wanted to let you know that I have secured pdf plans for the 14' Seneca Pacific Power Dory since last time I made a comment here. You no longer have to send your copy if you had decided to but if you are interested in having a copy of my pdf of the 18' Carolinian Dory, let me know and I will send it to you free of charge. Have a very happy and prosperous 2023 Sir.

      Thank you. Sorry for the slow response. Glad you got the plans you wanted. Happy New Year, Mike.

    I was shocked when you kept repeating 3000 gallons/minute... but it is actually /hour :)... but even like that... that figure seems way too much

      Perhaps. If wrong than I don't think any of the numbers on the boxes mean anything.

      Helpful video, thank you.
      I have a 10,000 gph pump for my pond and waterfall and need to control the flow/vary it. I can't find an adapter kit for my pump because the amps are too high. If you have any suggestions, I'd appreciate it.

      @@mountainman5292 By adapter kit, do you mean a variable speed controller? If so, no, I don't know of one, but i never researched any further in that regard.

    Please stop saying gallons per minute, its gallons per hour. Just imagine a pump with 3,000 GPM - you could fly to the moon with all this power!!!

      Yes, i mentioned it in my first comment. My big mistake while recording.
