    Air lift pumps? 😶

    I posted this on its own as it is a separate debate, not a reply to Jorge. I was not 100% sure of airlift pumps, so I have been "having a look round" and what follows is what I have found, please feel free to correct me if I am wrong, or similar. Air lift pump: 1)They use an air pump instead...

    There is life............

    Just remembered I hadn't locked the shed, while there I looked in the pond, and although they were very tiny I saw at least 3 newts swimming/hiding from my torch. (I think that's what they were) so I am pleased to say, I have life in the pond. Going to try and get a picture of one later today.

    Fountain at night

    As it is dark, I thought I would share a fountain or two. (With lights) For me, a fountain should be just that, a fountain with no fish or plants. (Lights optional) I couldn't show the one in my avatar as it is too cold and has been turned off by my frost stat (Project on here from 2017)

    Pump

    This is a sump pump Sometimes people will use one of these in their pond to supply a waterfall or even the filter. They soon find out that in most cases its too powerful for a filter and can not pump solids to be filtered out, and pumps far too much to be used as a waterfall. People buy them...

    Too cold for a fountain, an idea......coming soon.

    As my avatar shows I have a fountain in the garden, but when its really cold and I get ice, its not really a good idea to let the fountain run, (But not for reasons you are probably thinking of) so I have been looking and I have come up with an idea. Pictures and more to follow. (Waiting for...
