Hi can anybody give any advice on extension pipe for the eazypod gravity pipe. I want to put a bend on it as well going into the pond. The water cascade effect to me is quite soothing but it might be a bit loud for neighbours. Can't get 3 inch pipe anywhere.
Filling the pond back up today pumped the old water out and cleaned it after the coping was put on.

Hi all thought I would reply to this thread and give an update.
Well everyone that said it was right. Didn't have the pond 6 months and wanted to extend it. So built a covid pond extending the existing one which ended up at 6000 litres.
Since last year I met a couple of koi keepers in this neck of the woods who have been really helpful.
The setup now is 17000 litres, fibreglassed, bottom drain to sieve to 24 inch k1 micro bead to 3 tier bakki shower with pumice in and a 24 inch k1 micro bead on a floating skimmer. Just added an 11kw ASHP and holding temps at 15oC. Just bought a drum filter from a small independent drum maker to replace the sieve. Sold the automatic eazypod during the summer.
My only issue now is dumping waste water which was around the garden and to an adjacent storm drain but its too much for both systems at same time so I'm plumbing it up to drain in a couple weeks.

Hi Feline and RS2000 yes you could say I've caught the bug absolutely love it. Thanks for your replies. Its a good job I work from home as I feel it can be a full time job 🤪
Running heater at low temp?
Covering the pond with polycarb should be enough to stop water temps dipping below 6C for the most...
