These pictures just taken today (9th December 2008)

I'll use Lifetec pump. because the prise is really cheap here if we compare to Tsurumi or even Oase pump (This one is really expensive here but the quality really superb).

Another cool pond!! Isn't in public view?

Can't wait to see the waterfall on it.

And the dude working on the construction is mad rip for a construction dude.

View from 2nd Floor

I really worry for the glass. It curve a little when the pond is full.

There are about 3 point of leakage on the sealant but the major problem is there is a leakage in the inlet pipe to the filter. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Is there any way to fix the leaks? Could you put a pipe inside the pipe, like they do with well pumps? What an amazing project!

sonythan · 12-20-2008, 09:29 AM

Finally the problem located. Broken pipe from inlet filter.

I have to change the ball valve because the quality really bad

Unfortunately the only way i can fix this problem is by taking apart the concrete

yes i have fired the foreman.
He's using the thin pipe. he's not using the water proofing material for the concrete. He's using only paint. That's why the pond dry only in one night.
