      hooking up savio skimmer to the old sequence 3600 pump and uv to waterfalls. Once bio filter and performance pro pump arrive, they will pull from bottom drain up to the falls for a lot more water flowName:  Screenshot_20200725-121741_Message+.jpg

      Nice work ma4utopia. Got to be honest...I was struggling to work out the scale from your recent pix, but seeing someone in it, it looks great and well worth the effort

      Fall/s look great too.

      Agree... not sure why but with someone in the pond it's MUCH larger than I was envisioning.

      A small concrete curb high enough to retain the rock and dirt would be nice, the rain will have a muddy mess on your pavers. It's lookin good man..

      on the right side.. drains towards the pond . Protected by a 5 inch tall rock border >liner>rocks >pond no water will drain into the pond
      On left side the pavers on the pool side angle towards the pool but the pool has a angle towards the pond. Those 2 angles meet in the middle and drain towards the white fence. I'll have no drainage issues. Never did.

      Hey ma4utopia, coming along nicely...

      What's this space here? I recall at the start of this thread you said you had no space. Was this not usable for an RDF or sieve?

      That spot is a natural gas pool heater. Next to it is the chlorinator and DE filter and pool pump

      Have the pump and bead filter squeezed against a fence next to my pool equipment. Just enough room to get in and service all. Skimmer filter pump is to the left of this with the uv
