BWK pond build

[Norm Walsh]

Simply awesome Norm! Where is the waste supposed to go? Did you plum it to the sewage line?

Thanks Patrick,

In the sump area, where the BD lines come up, there is a drain line(6") that runs under the addition and daylights on the other side of the house. The filter room has a floor drain in it as well in the event of a failure. All the real dirty water from backwashes goes this direction. For WC's, there is a valve to direct the water to a 2K gal. storage tank that in turn is used to irrigate the property.

Here's a couple shots of the viewing room without the plastic.........

Norm, is this project 100% done ? I see that it got started in 2007.



BTW......very nice job

[Norm Walsh]

Yep, it's done. The pond shell was an integral part of the remodel of the home and because of accesability issues it was the first thing to get built, so the shell sat for about a year before I could get started again. It has been running for almost 10 months now though.

Beautiful Norm!

I was wondering what the owners had planned for the wall in the "viewing room", where the power outlets are in the
middle of the wall?

The owners a big sports nut so eventually there will be a flat screen TV mounted on the wall so he can watch the games. The white covers will be where the speakers are for the whole house audio.............. Man, I'm in the wrong business
