      They're hard to see but there are arrows on the left and right side of the image to scroll
      through the pictures.

      Beautiful place!

      They are right there, you flip through them by clicking at the sides of the picture, or dragging it to the left or right. Here's a different link.

      Not much emphasis on the filtration system. And no fish in pond, must be pics right after it was completed.

      Thanks. The little arrows were camouflaged, and I didn't even see them. Beautiful place.

      Pity the site seems to block connections from my side of the big pond.

      I'll check it out later through a proxy.

      You will never get any info on the pond from them as they did not build it, But they sure love to make it look like they installed it & take credit for it - another ethical contractor takes to the internet

      That's probably the waste incoming channel. This RDF is probably a small version of a commercial class open channel unit like this one.

      After the RDF it's all moving bed bio-filter - There are 2 areas for filters to service this pond The Gravity room and the Pressurized area. The pond is 53k gallons.

      Not the smallest Hydrotech but it is on the lower end of the units they build - it will process up to 60k GPH.

      Thanks!!! - We always construct what the customer wants - customers have to live with the pond long after we leave. We engineer the flow dynamics around your desired shape to keep the pond & system as low maintenance as possible.

      So, yeah, that's ridiculous that they didn't give you any credit at all, not even the tiniest mention....that's BS, it is what it is.

      Nice work, pretty amazing pond. Thanks for the pics of the filtration, was wondering more about it. Those UVs - huge! So impressed with the plumbing and organization of it all.

      I am interested in the manifold on the left. The uniform pipe sizes between the branches and mainline makes me think it isn't for transfer of significant water??

      They're all shut off... maybe all waste valves?
      Sure is pretty plumbing.

      Mike,
      Why are the Gravity Fed standpipes so high above the water level in the RDF? The drawdown would be much less if you lowered the standpipes, but then again maybe the RDF is too big for the system and there was too much time between cleaning cycles if the pipes were lower????

      Turns out Hydrotech is a Veolia brand, and that they have a presence in my country. Gonna hit em up to see if their product offerings will meet my needs.
      Not having to ship a container in from Germany and having local tech\sparing support is a big plus.
