- I'm taking some time to answer some of the questions you have had about the recreation pond build. Specifically, the under liner drainage and the architecture of the wall.

I really like these explanations Ed..... it's like 'behind the, behind the scenes' 👍🏼
Thanks Phil!
That’s my intention on the Pond Professor Channel, I want to thoroughly explain why we do what we do.......
Giving away many, many years of experience in every Vlog!
Thank you for explaining the carbon footprint rubber liner has! I'm personally grateful that you take that impact into consideration 🌳⛰🌼🌈👏👌🌏
Thanks Vanessa!!!
It’s an important component for us all to understand.......
GREAT behind the scenes info on how to build a retaining wall within the water feature! Ed is such a GREAT teacher!!!
Thanks Derek!!!
Pond Professor explains it all.. and does it all. 👍😎✌️
Thanks for watching Robert!!!
🙏🙏🙏
Great information, thanks for sharing those great details
Thanks for your support!!!🙏🙏🙏
This was awesome! Love the format of this video!
Thanks for watching and for your feedback!
Love the deep dive into these subjects.
Thanks Brad!
It’s difficult to explain every detail but it’s an important part of learning and progressing to the next level......
Thanks for diving in deeper to that build Ed.
Thanks for watching!!!
Great video, Ed. Very informative.
Thanks for watching Mike!!!
Ed could make the crop report sound interesting. Nice job!
Hahaha.......
Thanks Ed!
Thanks for watching Tony!!!
@@EdThePondProfessor appreciate you going into more in-depth about the mechanics and science of pond builds it’s more than the beauty shots at the end...
Great video Ed. Really useful explanations about ground water and how to deal with it whilst building a new water feature 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for watching!!!
&
For your feedback!
I'm always learning, thanks Ed! Can't wait to work with you guys again!
Thanks Matt!!!
I look forward to it!
Great explanations Ed!
Thanks Trey!!!
🙏🙏🙏
Really appreciate this detailed breakdown 👍🏿👍🏿
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for your support!!!
It is a pain in the ass to even build a pool in Florida...I understand completely what your going thru building this pond. God bless y'all
Thanks Catherine!!!
Florida has its challenges......
Thanks so much for this video
Awesome pond and inspirational video, thanks again Ed!
Thanks for watching Peter!!!

Thanks for watching!!!
Good Luck!!! 👍👍👍
Thank you!!!🙏🙏🙏
Great Stuff!
Thanks for watching Shawn!
Hey Ed, I got the aquascapes university material for rec pond builds. I don’t remember seeing anything about if you have to do external pumps or not. Could you clarify? Or is it clearly just for safety reason.
If one of the goals of the water feature is for swimming you’ll need to install External Pumps to keep the motor out of the water.
Even though Submersible pumps and current GFCI Protected outlets are safe it’s against swimming codes.
You know water Osmosis law very well Sir..
😊😊😊
Thank you!!!
🙏🙏🙏
Love the in-depth explanation of the ground water drainage system. That’s going to help a lot of people! I’m curious about the external pumps. Would low volt submersibles be acceptable? If not can you teach us how to install the bulkheads for external systems? Thanks so much for this content👍
I think low voltage submersibles would be considered safe, but externals are typically used when the pond is designed for people, and those ponds tend to be larger than your average backyard pond. I don't think you could find a low voltage pump with enough power to handle the turnover required for a pond like that. Maybe if you used 50 of them?
@@TylerTervooren there’s some pretty decent ones available. Aquascape here in Australia has a 36volt model that will move 20,000 litres/ hr. Oase has 12,000 litre/ hr 12volt.
Ed, if I build a wetland filter on my pond can I (or should I) still use Maintain to keep it algae free? I'm installing a 2400 gal pond and my wetland filter will 25% of the surface area. I plan to have no more than 3 koi.
Thanks for the info on carbon footprint! I had no idea.
Hey Ed. How long can rubber liners be repaired for? Everything fails eventually, and I think one of the reasons the old school builders insist on concrete is because it can be patched and repaired basically forever. Does there come a time in a rubber liner's life that it simply can no longer be repaired and must be replaced?
Great question!
We have one remaining concrete pond that we maintain in the Chicago area, the Concrete was installed new in 1999 it can no longer be repaired effectively......
It’s getting removed soon???
However I have many, many liner ponds installed prior to 1999 that are still working great!!!
The hardest part about repairing an Old liner is cleaning the scale buildup from the surface to get down to a clean section of EPDM to make a Repair or Seam,
What I’ll do if possible is repair the side that’s in contact with the soil, it’s much easier to clean but sometimes it’s difficult to get to the bottom side of the liner(depends on the project)
I hope this helps!
Hey Ed how do you hide the flex PVC pipe coming out of the wetland filter, and do you need to take care to make it insulated so it won't freeze during the winter time?
How tall or deep can you do the architectural block walls?
It depends on the type/manufacturer of the Wall block and there installation specifications.
If Geo-grids are adding to the walls you can go higher with the walls without fear of collapse.
What kind of polyurethane adhesive are you using? I'm actually working on another project before I build my rec pond but it too calls for a bonding agent and I'll trying out a few products I found at my local store so I would appreciate any input so I can experiment with adhesives, bonding, polyurethane and blocks and gravel. I'm testing out bonding pebbles together and if it works potentially I might bond together any pea pebble bottom I put in my pool later but I'm also going to do block walls too and I want to experiment before I do our DIY build.
Hey ED I have a question. I’m going constructing a pond and I’m putting in a wetland filter as well as a spillway that’s on a different side of the pond then where the wetland is. Is it ok to “T” into the pipe from my vault or do I need two different pumps? And if I can T off the pipe can I just put a ball valve to the spill way to regulate the flow? Just wondering if there is going to be enough water volume for both
Great question!
Yes,
You can install a “T” to split the water flow, just make sure that you have the proper pump and flow rate for your application.
How big is the Wetland?
What pump are you looking at?
Pond is going to be smaller 8x11 with a 10 ft stream leading from the wetland to the pond. Wetland is going to be 6x9. I’m still in the drawing stage. But that’s what I’m looking at.
Oh and I was thinking the aqua surge 4000 because I wanted a spillway waterfall in the pond portion.
👍
I think that’s the first pond you guys have built with a some what bottom drain. Concrete is good but doesn’t grow with Algae well. Amazing base cause it doesn’t settle like rock and liner through time, but you still need something for the algae to grow on and that’s where pollyurea spray works amazing. That’s how the real ponds are built
???
We don’t have a bottom drain on this pond.....
@@EdThePondProfessor you ever make it to vegas swing by I’ll show you 16,000 gallon pond
There's no bottom drain on that pond. What they built was a drain to capture ground water beneath the liner.
Sounds good!!!
Shaq’s koi pond in the thumbnail for extra click bait 🖖
I don’t think many people know it’s Shaw’s pond???
Thanks for noticing!!!
💯🔥💙👍
✌🏼
Sounds great! Now, Here's your bill for $30,000.
Hello Sir good day. I've always been a huge fan Sir.
I'm a catfish farmer from Nigeria and I'll love to collaborate with you Sir here on youtube. Would be as dream come true❤❤❤❤
Thank you!!!
I’m a fan of you too!
Love your videos!!!
Keep up the great work and Yes, I would love to collaborate in the future.......
@@EdThePondProfessor ❤❤❤. Thanks so much Sir. Would be an honour
We love catfish!!!
@@TEAMAquascape thanks so much Chris ❤❤. Seeing your comment makes me happy
I just couldn't imagine building a concrete pond nowadays. So unnatural.
I agree!!!
First
🥱
Thanks for your support!!!🙏🙏🙏
