I want that PVC Cutter O.o Coolest thing ever. And the pond is coming along excellent. I seen the "almost done" pic of it. Superb job as always. You and your team are experts in their trade without a doubt. Thanks for the videos, and the effort you put into them!
I have the Helix skimmer and read in Bottom Drain Technology that the bottom drain can be plumbed to a settling chamber, a settlement tank, a skimmer, or sieve filter, but can not find video or information on how to do connect it.
Two questions: why did you upscale the air pipe if its longer distance? The sediment filter and skimmer are both in ground, how does it pump up to the waterfall area? Thanks for the videos btw, best out there
I am an avid fan. I'm a little nervous about putting in a bottom drain. What is the name of your drain and do you have an opinion about the Spindrifter, because I noticed they are fairly different. They both seem to have advantages but I like the materials used in yours as far as durability.
Hi,From the back of the skimmer I see 2 pvc one is flexible pvc connect to the back of skimmer and the other ?For both running pcv along to where ? Thanks
I have a question. First off love your videos. Lots of help. I'm building my pond. Had a budget of $2k. I'm already over that. LOL I was thinking of running a 2" pipe 4'-6' a long the bottom of the deep end of my pond with a few holes drilled in it for my intake. To save money on a bottom drain. Good idea? Thoughts? Thanks.
Ron Yelenich Ron you are tapping into a different type of pond construction that we do in fact teach and promote. The the answer to your question is Yes & No!!! I suggest that you visit the helixlifesupport .com website and down load the Helix Life Support Pond Design Guide to review the different construction styles and you will see the suction grid philosophy. Best of luck to you on your pond build!
hi i could do with some advice i just started a pond construction , with bottom drain and so on but unfortunately some concreate got into the bottom drain , since then ive chip it out scrubbed it clean is there any thing else i can do!!!! -- have i done the right thing only slight worriedd about the lime in concreate that would rise ph level would hate to get evething all done then have my fish die.. many thanks
FastestCores This project took us approximately 6 months to complete because of filming. We only filmed on the weekends and filmed every little detail. A project this size will typically take our crew 5 to 10 days to build.
If you ever want to build a 1.5 story indoor pond in Ohio, HMU! My remodeling contractors are unsure of how to proceed and we've been looking for a tank and a pond expert to collaborate with. Think floor to ceiling aquarium in the basement coming up through the main floor to about waist/chest high. It'd make a good video and most of em are rescue fish lol!
Nice soil to dig out .....wellcome to my contry ....all is silt sand and gravel sand....blue mud and shit ....Well we just use a back hoe and wship it out as we go .....new video out in short about the natural pond projekt Im doing ....Off to work in short ...14 nays offshore and we do good again .....never rush of a pond projekt ......To bad you cant provide Helix in Sweden Eric....All it takes is EPS or Fedx....not that hard bro ...LIfe is Koy

question about air line if I am only going 15' should I go up to 3/4 or just run 1/2 from bottom drain to air pump thanks Mike
+mike jenkins 15' is a short run. you can certainly go with1/2"
Thanks

Thnx 4 e informative video. Plz explain how e role of e air pipe n how it works, thnx once again

many thanks
I am about to build a 15x8x5 (feet) pond, a one 3" Bottom drain would suffice? The bottom design is a V-Slope.
Patrick Sarmiento I would say yes. Rosemary's pond is bigger than that with one drain. We are walking the line but it is working wonderfully.
Why do you up size the aeration pipe? I'm thinking its more volume you have to pressurize.
+lizzardlife The pressure builds with the pipe is filled with air. I upside because of the length of pipe we had in the run. Great question.
Eric, how would you install an underwater light on a dedicated koi pond with liner and no boulders? Thanks
In a 1200 liter pond, what is the suitable pvc size for bottom drain?
Griffon WDF-05 fix all of the glue problems...ABS and PVC pipes and fittings...
How long did this project took?

@ThePondDigger, how much did this project cost all together?
Way cool pipe cutter!
***** Isn't that tool "NINJA!!!!" I love it!
the pvc Cutter is sick..
+Awais Haq YES!! Thanks!
where can i find a parts list for this series?
Yes, i was looking for the same....In fact could you please make a video about which parts we should use for a 7 by 5, 4 feet deep koi pond......
Hi good day im Ronald from Trinidad and Tobago i will like to get a list of stuff i will need to build and run an effective 3600 gallon pound
Ronald McLeod What pond equipment resources do you have in your country?
The blue glue doesn't need primer.
Check out this video on TH-cam:
ThePondDigger How do you connect the other end of the air diffuser' s small pipe?
You should never use flexible pipe in to solid upvc fitting, flexible pipe must be fitted to the outside of a union and clamped.
