Love all you guys! 👍👍👍

Us too!!

Awesome!

Keeps spirit brother, please share the result, n tag my acount

Glad it helped! Numbers can cause trauma hahah

If you take out a notepad and rewrite what they said and take it step by step it will finally click for you. You're smart, it's just rethinking what you already know. I used to be afraid and confused. I now look at how much water I need to pump and how high. Some pond pumps come with low water shut off and adjustable rates of water. Try looking up Lowe's or Home Depot water pumps they have charts that may help get you over some hurdles. Good Luck. Oh, pool and patio stores are where I started.

Thanks! Yes, groundwater can be an issue in some places. I’m working on a video to explain that as well!

@@AtlantisWaterGardens I'm working on mine and it came up like a raft before I could get it completed and filled with water. In the process of pulling it all out and trying again lmao. Huge fan love your work. Keep truckin

We make those as well.

The pump sits in the pump vault.

😂

Awesome! Love to hear that others are getting into the lifestyle! Here are the additional videos for this portion: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q5imqrlkybTFc40.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m7eGlKd0q5PLd3k.html

Have you checked out our older How-To videos? Ireland is probably amazing this time of year, a vacation would be nice ;)

@@AtlantisWaterGardens I'll pay for the flights and put you up, no probs. Talk to me 😂

Yes

We are in a colder climate. Sand works nicely

Exactly. Add some good material and compact to the height you need 👍

Hey bob, we use 45 mil EPDM Aquascape liners. We can ship out any materials you may need. Just give us a call.

You would need to calculate water use and average rainfall in your area to determine the size of the reservoir being used

Yes 100%

That sounds awesome! Do you mind telling me what size of pump you're using and how big your basin is? I'm looking at extending a 26' Aquascape Pondless Waterfall kit out to about 30' and was worried whether it would still work with the supplied pump (4000-8000 GPH) and 5 large aquablox.

@@bensanderson1564 I'm using 10 large aquablocks and a 4000-7000gph. But I have it set up to add a second pump if the amount of water is not enough. I know my water storage is good but the pump I don't. Currently I'm moving rocks and putting down felt/liner. Hopefully I'll be able to run water in a few days and start edging and building where I need too. It's kinda hard since I got no clue how much water 7000gph is....And how much I'll lose with height. Plus I have 10 waterfalls and I don't know if that will effect it.

@@bensanderson1564 got pump up and running today. Plenty of flow. But I did use 3" pipe.

@@performancebasedheatingair8006 Thanks for the info! I've been talking to Aquascape and they say the 4000-8000 GPH pump should still be able to pump enough water for a 40' stream, provided I don't make the stream too wide. Based on their formula, a 40' stream at 2' wide and 1" deep should have a basin that will hold roughly 375 gallons, so I'll have to buy a few more Aquablox to expand it out to the new dimensions. Good luck with the rest of your build!

@@bensanderson1564 I would agree with that since I just hooked up the full 50" piece of 3" flexible PVC. I have it just hooked up for testing sections, filling my edges, etc. While the pump takes several minutes to fill that pipe up before it comes out of the very beginning of my stream, it comes out in good volume, actually filling the 3" entirely. My stream is only about 10" wide were the water is actually flowing, but at the bottom I split the stream into two and ran one side over a fall and into basin, while the other side goes over a fall and into a pool of water on top of the basin I made with a few boulders and some extra liner on the bottom. That pool of water then builds up about 6" deep and spills over another fall. The volume of water is plenty to do this. But if you can build it, hook up it up, and test it. Its much easier to lift the edges of the liner and remove/add dirt as needed. Just remember that when you add rock/foam sections, the sides will need attention again as it adds volume. I just started foaming yesterday. Ton of work but so worth it. Good luck buddy, I hope it comes out stellar....

The underlayment is a "root deterrent", so roots shouldn't work their way through to puncture the liner.

Yes. Fill it up when turned off. Turn on pump and let it completely cycle, then record the level inside the vault. That is optimal running level

You can. It will require removing the reservoir when you build the pond

Depends on what part of the country, if it gets too cold you'd want to winterize it.

Remove the check valve from the pump, you’re finished 👍

Magic phone calculator says 7 :D

Yup.

To figure out the dimensions of your reservoir, you should start by deciding on the shape of the reservoir-whether it's going to be rectangular, circular, or another shape. Here's how you can proceed with a rectangular reservoir as an example: Choose the shape and decide on the depth: For instance, if you opt for a rectangular shape, you also need to decide how deep you want your reservoir to be. A common depth might be around 3 feet, but this can vary based on your specific requirements and the total volume of water you need to store. Calculate the area needed at the chosen depth: You can use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism: Volume = Length × Width × Depth. Rearrange this formula to find the length and width based on the desired volume and your chosen depth. For example, if you know the volume of water your reservoir needs to hold and you have decided on a depth, you can calculate the required area (Length × Width) by dividing the volume by the depth. Adjust for practical considerations: Once you have an initial calculation, consider adjusting the dimensions for practical building considerations, such as the availability of materials, the nature of the land, and ease of construction. Also, consider the need for additional space for lining materials, pumps, and maintenance access. Many pond and reservoir calculators available online can provide estimates of the necessary dimensions based on inputting the volume and depth, adjusting for factors like the underlay and overlap of liners which is crucial for ensuring the integrity and longevity of the reservoir. I hope this answers your question.

Perfect! That's basically how I was configuring the size but I wasn't sure if that was the "correct way". Big thanks for the quick response and information!

If it’s just a feature you can use hydrogen peroxide

@@AtlantisWaterGardens thank you. I love your videos and your style of waterfalls.

Typo. Yes, it’s .25 👍

Great thanks!! I used what you "Said" for my calculations so I feel pretty good about getting everything ordered now . Thanks for the valuable info !!
