1 at the end of the liner leaks. The manufacturers have different warranties that are 15 to 30 years with 75 years of life. In fact, it's definitely longer than the warranty, provided that you leave in the box and save it in your garage.
Once in the ground, the forces of nature begin a race to see who is to break the seal first. Vying for the title of the offender are squirrels, rodents, squirrels, rats, moles, the roots ofTrees, plants and weeds, sharp stones, heavy stones, sharp objects, and moose (if you live in Alaska).
If you do not develop a leak, it is almost impossible to remove all the tiles without lining, draining the pond, spreading the coating on the floor, to find and inspect every square inch. A small hole can lose 5 gallons per 24 hours.
2 Here are the flows can not be used with liner. Liner proponents discount the use of floor drains, especially becauserather, not because about half of the sources of leaks in sealed cover are flowing from the bottom. If the casing is cut to install the drain, sealing rings and pressure are used to make a waterproof seal. The sealant or adhesive sealing collar and chain rupture, leading to repair in terms of time, expensive.
3 You can not out-of-pond pump. The coating is not used floor drains, can not use above ground pumps, leaving no choice but to use suction pumps.These pumps were originally developed to pump water from wells in basements and cellars. They are not designed to save energy, in fact, are the largest consumers of energy for horses for all pumps. The largest retailer / wholesaler of coatings, pumps and accessories sold a pump dirty water produced 4200 gallons per hour to 704 watts for $ 339.00. This pump must be pulled from the pond to clean debris from the intake grille. There is a risk of electric shock to fish and humans and isfilled with oil and cover the losses that has the potential of the surface of the pond.
In contrast, an above ground pump, 600 gallons more per hour (4800) provides less than half the cost of energy (348 watts) and a cost of about $ 100 less. This pump run 24 hours a day will result in savings of over $ 500 per year in the cup. In other words, the energy savings pay for the aerial refueling and put an additional $ 270 in cash in his pocket the first yearalone.
If this is not incentive enough, a second reason, the pump is above ground which is never the need to plug it in, because we have installed two 8 concerns the "anti-vortex flows at the bottom. The only maintenance is occasionally required to remove leaf cover of the basket in the pump and dump the debris from the basket catch. Since this is a high-efficiency pump is extremely quiet and stood next to him you can barely hear running.
Lined pondsSump pump is located on the outer edge of the pond is not in the center as a professional in the concrete and reinforcement structures. We make two 8 "anti-vortex drains in the middle of the lake, 24" apart. Spores as fish waste and algae and other particles settle to the bottom, you are pulled into the sewer system and transferred through the filter. A UV light is in series between the pond and the filter back because of bacterial pathogens that cause diseases, and turn the tin can killgreen.
In most ponds, the use of deposits, management of all waste materials and collects at the bottom and rots, that ammonia is toxic to fish and other aquatic life. Since a sump pump is located near the outer edge of the pond and not in the middle of the floor, the more efficient distribution can not be reached. This creates areas of toxic clouds on the bottom of the pond. Most of the lakes that feed I've seen are only 24 "deep, and the spread is not a problem in these cases. However, koi carprecommended that these types of ponds, koi experts recommend a minimum depth of 3 meters.
4 You can not use a pressure washer maintenance-free with a liner pond biofilters. When you use a sump pump, you need a bio gravity fall, flow or lift mode to use the filters. All of these are inefficient and lead to high maintenance costs. They often need the elimination of all forms of waste loads filter is clean. At the very least, this is a dirty, smelly, dirty work, neither my client nor femaleExpect to meet most of my clients are male.
Aqua Ultraviolet high-pressure filter contains state-of-the-art technology that makes it easy to wash again with a rotation of the handle. The exhaust pipe may direct the fish waste and debris particles in the exhaust, or it can be used to water the garden or lawn. The high-pressure filters is to use 55 nine times the volume of water can handle a flow unit may or bio-falls.
In addition to this, the patentedbead design that allows a maximum area of the filter with a population of nitrifying bacteria and nitrite can break. The "liner guy" that wants its chaotic, dirty, smelly, inefficient use of filters, because it is its filter, and costs very little compared to the filter heel for professional production. My opinion of filters are by years of experience and tried almost all those who are on the market. I also jumped on the "filter moving train" for some years and used my ownDesign.
When I found the advertisement Aqua UV pond filters in various magazines, I gave it a try. I've been using for over ten years without problems. My clients can I clean the filter with the turn of a handle and clean themselves. One main side effect of this filter is that twice as many fish in your pond that have an inefficient use gravity filter. By the way, this is not a guarantee payment of their product!
5 Safety is a concernIf coatings are used pond. After a hole is dug, a leakproof liner down the hole and then filled with water. Rocks are then placed around the perimeter of the pond to cover the edge of the pond liner and most stones are creating a mound of earth with a different food stacked in a waterfall pool. From my 26 years of experience I have learned that many adults are like children when it comes to ponds and waterfalls.
She will inevitably go on the rocks of the waterfall and theTin board. Since the rocks are all loose, they can move to topple over or slide on the line, someone falls and gets hurt or, worse still drowning. With concrete work and construction of the armor, all the tiles are cemented and provides a secure base on foot or on the rise.
6 Tin Tin the form liner and limit orders. Lining ponds because they are more circular or oval in design? Because ships are not required to roll tin and then only a square orrectangular shapes. If an L-shaped lake has been designed, will combine to cause excess coating pond has an inside corner. It is not only a waste of expensive material coated tin square meters, makes it hard rocks on top of the battery that comes up finish to cover up.
Oh, sure, "guy liner" you think, because he does not remember that special form of lake vessels can be custom built? Ok, I talk about it! Pond liner can be customized to order. And now I'mto say that this cost will be tailor-made lake covering as much as the construction of a pool professional armor and concrete that will last a lifetime. There, I said!
7 Last but not least, the integrity. If I Articles from the "liner guy" disciple, the pride of evil profits from the construction of the pond liner to read scripts, I can not help but wonder how she can not sleep at night. The advantage of a day's work - dig a hole, a ship falling into pond, for hisArea and perimeter with rock melted and the provision of an energy-draining sump pump - no matter what I did in four or five days of work. One big difference: The warranty period is one year, if you're lucky, but is built with concrete and steel for a lifetime!
I am the person named in the last customers of the "guy liner" two or three years down the road to ask for escape in their tin foil stinking green. A client in Poway, California paid $ 6,500 for a necklace with a pond linerRock around the perimeter and a 3 x 4 meters waterfall on the fiberglass board. In fact, I had to stifle a laugh when I saw my pain compared to customers.
This pond had a bottom drain that leaked, however, came the great loss of water from a root of the tree hole. In addition, it was obvious that this "guy liner" disciples on their long-term customer financial well-being in mind, after I discovered a cheap, 7 - amp energy-sucking pump "Jacuzzi". We have them replaced with a3.6 amp high efficiency of the pump, which delivered almost twice the flow.
Later, we moved the 'reconfigure lining the oval pond on coil and built the pond and waterfall shell, reinforced with steel (8 "on center) and included 3,500 psi concrete with fiber stealth. We installed two 8" drains floor, the addition of a pro-skimmer, an air intake valve venturi, a natural rock waterfall, an island tortoise, a 25-foot bridge over the pond, '"Ultima II", high pressure,Back-washable filters, UV light in the pond and waterfall. and an electronic level Aquafill pond water. All this gave us originally paid 8 days from start to finish and only cost $ 2,000 more than the customer.
Conclusion: One might wonder why I despise the "get rich quick" system of the building facing the pond? The "liner guy" hates feeling refer to concrete and rebar ponds of "professional design." They insist their ponds are professional contributionsConstruction. And if so, why sell the kit for the do-it-yourself to build home business for sale?
I am proud to say that more than 2,000 satisfied customers for over 30 years. Ninety percent of my clients come from referrals from satisfied customers. Do not ask me why this is so.
There is a place for lining ponds? Yes, if you rent and expect to move in two or three years. Or, if you view the creation of a temporary one. No, I'mtotally against the lining. They are ideal for truck beds and swimming pools cheap!
In fact, I made thousands of dollars over the years of tin coatings - by dragging them with concrete and steel!
