Unfortunately I tossed the drawings a few months back. Regardless I deviated a bit from the design when I started the build.You don't happen to have a schematic of your filtration systems?
Is pump downflow of all filtration media?
Do you have bottom drains in ponds?
The external pumps inlet is downflow of both the coarse/fine mechanical filter pads as well as the settling chamber.
Both the Koi pond and the Duck pond are above ground with a portion below ground as well.
The Koi pond has a 3” bottom drain (which goes directly to filter pads) and the streams inlet acts as the Koi ponds surface skimmer. The streams outlet (1” bottom drain) flows to the Duck pond.
The Duck Pond has a 1.5” bottom drain as well as a 1.5” surface skimmer. Bottom drain flows to the settling chamber and the surface skimmer flows to the filter pads.
Duck pen has a 1.25” bottom drain that flows to the settling chamber.
The sump is 2.5-3’ below grade and is where all the drain pipes, pump inlet and filters are located.
Heres the bottom drain pipe being test fitted. Because the ponds are above ground the height of the pipes become important.
I’m sure I’m not describing it well. If you got anymore questions let me know.
