Hi all,
It appears that there are no UK suppliers for proper bio-fall waterfalls and pump skimmers? Searching Google and ringing local aquatics seen to suggest we in the UK prefer to have all the equipment, tubing, wires inside of the pond which I'm not at all fond of.
I'm talking about the skimmers you install in the side of the pond liner which contains a flap or vortex that pulls the water down drawn from the pump that is housed at the very bottom.
The reason I want this kind of install is because the skimmer houses a basket for collecting leaves, a foam for collecting finer particles and the pump at the bottom doesn't get clogged as easily and therefore runs more efficiently. It's much easier to keep the whole pond clean and maintenance is simple. The skimmed water is then pumped up to the biofall and it's biological media before entering the pond again via a home-made rock cascade.
Does anyone know a supplier in the UK? i.e. much like this like this small setup;
My next pond will be a 10ft x 7ft heavily rocked gold fish pond.
Many thanks
