Section 2. Pond Feature
|
| For streams, what are the dimensions of the stream
bed? |
m
Length X Width X Depth |
| How high above water level is the top
of the feature? |
m |
Flow at the top of the feature, two
choices.
1) You can ignore the next two questions, this means that the
environmental flow (the litres per hour through the filter that is
required to keep your pond healthy) will be used to flow over the top of
the feature,
2) Or tell us how much flow you require at the top by either filling in
the litres per hour or width and thickness of water. |
|
How much water flow do you want over
the top of the feature?
Consider a garden hose
at 3/4 strength produces about 1000 litres per
hour.
Would you want:
Half a garden hose = 500 litres per hour
Three garden hoses = 3000 litres per hour, etc.

If you can not work out the flow, fill in
the dimensions.
1mm thickness is considered gentle.
4mm thickness is considered aggressive. |
How wide is the head or top of the feature?
mm
How thick do you want the water over the top?
mm |
| Approximately what length of hose will be
between the feature pump and the top of the feature? |
