The new pond is larger than the previous one. The walls are not as steep and were built at a slope. I keep the water clean by using a submersible pump to transfer water to an external filter which then returns it back into the pond. I've used this method for the past 13 years and it works. If I want to drain the pond, I simply pump the water into my landscaping. I also tap into my sprinkler system in order to fill the pond. During the winter months, I have the pond filled with well water throughout the day. This keeps the water temperature around 72 degrees and allows me to keep the animals outside year round.

sound great.. I do the same with mine, but my pump always get stops because of the leaves from bamboos around it..

what you do to keep it clean from leaves?

Big Tank,

I house the pump in a perforated, 5 gallon bucket. The bucket is then placed on top of a cinder block. This keeps the pump off of the pond floor, thus, keeping it from sucking up junk from the bottom.

ok.. thanks... could you mail me some pics from it... and some of the finished pond..?? thanks
