Page 5 - Drilling the Bucket
This is the bucket that will be used to house an important piece of the bio-filter - the submersible pump. The top of the bucket will get notched on one side to allow the electrical and water lines to pass through. There will be a removable lid left on top to allow for easy access. The holes being drilled are roughly a ½ inch in diameter – large enough to allow water to easily pass through and small enough to keep the lava rock out of this pump cavity. This pond is designed to use a solar photovoltaic powered DC pump. This means that it will only run when the sun is shining. It works equally well with an AC pump.
