DIY ‘Patio Pond’ Build, with BOG FILTER!

This gave me a great idea! On old toilet would be perfect

Can I ask where you got that plastic grid stuff? I'm struggling to find some

Excellent pond

I really wanted to see your video through. I am working towards a water feature in my future. I feel like you didn’t show enough detail for a beginner. I’m not intending to be disrespectful. I just don’t have a clear understanding of your techniques and rationale.

Love the video man! I'm making my own at the moment. Any tips for using the holesaw on the pot? I tried it earlier and it split the the plastic.

Where do you get the inline clean out isolating valves from for the bog filter and what size are they as you are using 1” pond tubing?

A hair dryer or heat gun for a few secs will make putting the hoses on much easier.

Hey bro,
Have you had any problems with bog filters? I hear they're pretty foolproof, but I'm trying to find a resource that goes over common bog filter problems.

Nice job

Great video! I built a bog filter like yours for a small pond that's roughly 4' x 3' any idea as to why the water is green?

How does the air stone connect into the system?

I have a similar pond. I bought a solar "airstone" pump and connected a sponge filter. For plants ive got a few baskets with angel plants and ornamental onion, and hyacinth and water lettuce floating.

Nice looking water feature, but that looks like a lot of weight on that bottom pot. Have you had any issues?

🤔 What practical purpose does it serve to put the filter in the middle of the pond and not on the bottom where it would be more efficient and effective?

this inspired me to do my own i have created a pond with 55 gallon food barrel. I used 2 5 gallon buckets one on each side. it has been going good but my question is how much water should i expect the plants to use. I seem to loosing about 6 to 7 inches a week. i cant find a leak any where. do you plants take much water from the pond

Excellent videos... Full of information and very inspiring. Great job best style videos 📹.
Q: How do you stop the Pond section from overflowing when it rains 🌧 ?

WTF do you live in the Antarctic? It gets way colder here in Pennsylvania and I don't use any of that underneath my ponds.

Hello again!! I know you're in the UK but do you have any idea where I could find this size planter here in the US? and what price range I'm I looking at? If the size planter you have can't be purchased here. What other size would you recommend as I wish to keep guppies in it. Thanks in advance...

what was the dimensions of your planter?

Great video! I would like to ask, where do you keep the electric sockets? Do you keep them outside? If yes, couod you tell me how do you manage to keep them water/moisture tight? Many thanks in advance!

Hi would it be possible to have a complete list of all components used as I would like to make the exact same thing

Hi, I’m worried that my big will overflow. How do I prevent this?

Nice design and a very complete video on the topic.

Is there another name for the tank connectors? I’m having trouble finding them

I have a closed filter system with foam I got at a home store that runs my waterfall. Can I add a seperate bog filter into the pond?

Where and how much was that large pot

Do you have links to all the parts you used? Or names? Thanks

Hope the dogs name is tripod

What size is the big planter? This would be perfect for our porch but we are having trouble finding the right size

Great video what size is the pond as I'm trying to find one the same

I wonder if doing with a solar panel and no battery in Florida, USA would be enough to keep the pond clean. My tank would be about 400 gallons and it would only be running while the sun is out.

Hi , I have never done DIY but I am going to try and make your filter. How do you cut the hole in the planter so that the connectors fit them exactly? You don't use a uniseal or similar?? What size is the plastic pipe please. Do I need to buy pipe cutters. I will borrow a drill so what size round cutter do I need please? Thank you so very much and thank you for making this video. 😊

Thanks for the video, and have just built one for my small pond. I was wondering, do you run your bog filter 24hours/day?

I am building one similar with a wine barrel. The pump I have is too powerful at 1060l p/h. My question is will a pump at 750l p/h and 96cm head height be ok? (Bottom of barrel to top of bog filter is 88cm)

Future food for thought,you can warm up the tubing to get it over the barb,much easier

Why dont you put the inlet through the base too?

Great job. I watched quite some video talking about setting up a bog filter and patio pond, and this is the one which makes me fully understand the process. The method is simple, effective and very easy to follow.

Excellent!

Inspiration for me -when I have to downsize in the next few years, I know I can still have a small pond!

That was by far and away the most informative video I have watched. I feel confident now to “ have a go “ at making this filter. Also learned a good idea to grow few water plant in a seperate pool!

I have made a bog filter of concrete using these exact methods like void spaces, gravel, plants etc and my water is crystal clear. In fact crystal clear seems to be an understatement!A slow water flow makes a huge difference, that is the trick

Way better you talking than the awful music you used in another of your videos. Good explanation and clear steps. Thank heaps from Australia

Thanks for showing start to finish. I saw another DIY bog filter with the spraybar at the bottom and the filtered water output at the top. I'm confused. Your way way makes more sense tho.🤔

Can you tell me what pump you’d recommend for this type of pond as I’m looking at replicating it? Also are you able to list all the connectors you needed? Many thanks

Cool build, man! That stained wood board gave it a nice accent to the green pots. Keep it up love to see more!

I've built a little pond out of a pot this sorta size. It's a great little addition. Wish you'd released this video before I made it though! Few things I would have stolen from you lol

Do u know the size of the planter ?

Massive planter pot love the look of it man. Great job!

Came out super awesome dude
