Water Pond Design - Newbee
|
Can't Post

Dear All, I have attached a design of my future water pond that i want to build at my home in KL. The pond size is 15' X 14' X 3' deep X 2' wide. It has a gazebo in the middle. Water is around 2500 gallons i guess in this case. The contractor suggested that i use 2 pumps , 1 for waterfall and 1 for thru the UV light & vortex flow. 1/ Pumps are KPC 200. Good pumps ? I do not intend to have Koi but maybe 1 or 2 in the future when i am confident. 2/UV light has been recommended. Good i think ? I would benefit greatly from anyone suggestion after looking at my design. 3/ If the Bottom drain is 3-4" at the inlet, has the pipe got to be same diameter all the way to the settlement tank. Is 2 bottom drains sufficient ? Locations , any suggestions ? 4/ Japanese mat + coral + UV light - is this sufficient filteration? Anything i must look out for ? 5/ Concrete pond with 2 layer s of special paint for water proofing. 6/ What is the RM cost i am looking at for a pond like this ? Once again thank you so much for helping a newbee like me. regards
