      Update...
      The float was sticky and was giving me problems so I put a medicine bottle to improve the flotation.

      There was a question in my PM's regarding corrosion on the sprocket because it is made out of aluminum.
      Sprocket is doing fine, I tried to take a picture but there is not enough room to get the camera in there so I hope you can see enough here...

      We've got rust on the clamp and the screws for the motor but the sprocket is fine LOL

      I put in a tee to prime the jet pump since I forgot to add it originally. I was having issues with rust clogging up my nozzles and realized it was because the jet pump is corroding due to being cast iron. I ended up putting in a nice big filter in line with the nozzles. I split the intake in case I shut the RDF so the pump can keep running.

      To keep the pond level even, which was never an issue before the RDF, I put an overflow by the skimmer barrel.

      Here are some random pictures of the pond.
      I have to mention to disregard the 2x4's they are there merely while I work on the re-design for the winter cover for this year.
      My goal is to try to minimize the space it takes up in the garage, the DW (Goki56) is starting to take notice LOL

      I am so impressed with your RDF, you did an amazing job on it! Your pond looks so good and the water so clear.

      Thank you.
      The pond is 30" deep and is 2,000 gallons.
      We feed on average .7 lbs per day.
      The pump is 5,500 gallons and the RDF cycles every 30 mins. on average.
