I have a customer getting ready to start installing a large pond.

Be doing the math about volume and re-charge of the pond before you get
carried away with golf heads. The pump sizing will be have to be considered,
also.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1....Time for Kiril to chime in.

I'm not the math guy, but I water about 16K sf with 6 gpm re-charge and almost 3k
of storage. It's a 24-7 deal waiting for re-charge & then another zone fires, gotta have
multiple programs or ISC. I'm pulling 20 gpm on some zones.

(and I might accuse you of over watering a bit if its quite that high Mike not much, but a bit )

When I'm sand-based, I lean on it. That's where the moisture probe gets it.

After 1 dry year wouldnt it dry up the man made pond?

Guess why we talk about re-charge. :hammerhead::hammerhead::hammerhead:

He was talking about putting in a fountain to keep the water aerated. [/QUOTE]

A "fountain" will not get it, but these bad boys will. www.otterbine.com

Your slipping Boots .... presenting a problem without knowing the solution. :nono:

-- 2.5" SCH 120 I.D. = 57.8 mm (O.D. - (2 x wall thickness))

Using the real I.D. and flow nomogram gives ~ 5 m/s flow velocity.

5 meters = 0.024854847689 furlongs
1 second = 8.2671957672e-7 fortnight

Flow velocity = 30064.42 furlongs/fortnight

Keep him occupied, maybe he won't have time to post soft core.

He's a poly guy, so you can't blame the glue.

But you get such swell fumes when you cut open a pressure-sealed 300 foot roll of the stuff.
