ok so I originally posted this in the Pond section but figured I should move it here as this is a DIY project. First off I realize it is pondless but My mom is building a new house and she wanted a pond out front. Gov regulations are designed to eliminate the nature of natural selection so the pond had to go in the "iterests of Public safety".
Plan:
build a kick *** waterfall that goes into nothingness make it look cool and most of all sound amazing and yet be maintanance free.
Application:
ordered a pump thats good for 3200GPH (might be off a little) its a stainless pump so should last a long time and has low power consumtion and very little head loss for the 6ft of head this system will have. dig a hole 2 ft deep. Bury step dad in the bottom. go dumpster diving for some old preferably non pee stained carpet (for my sanity) line hole with carpet lay in liner. put underlay on liner (this is fishless and the people I have talked to said this is best) to protect from getting punctured with the stone to be layed on top. place modified Vault in hole, fill hole with 3" septic pipe (clean never used once again for my sanity and for the smell) this will increase the amount of water that will be held in the reservoir by 10X run return piping up to the top. cover 3" piping with gravel. build up the waterfall with stone feeding the piping through the cored stones. grout and shape rocks to what I need them to be (Master stone Masons gonna teach me his tricks and give me a hand) plug it all in and hope it works if it doesn't then I will have to run and hide
Mom says Im not allowed to bury her Hubby she kinda wants to keep him around Dang that sucks lol
