 9. This photo was taken about 1/2 hour after the waste was removed from the floor. Note the lightening of the blackened area as it comes in contact with air.
  10. Arrow shows location of swing check valve. This is also the point where the surface plumbing exits the pond. Gray pipe is return and jetting pipe.
   
  11. Close up of check valve and plumbing exiting the pond.

 12. Close up of jetting plumbing. The gray 1/2" line has holes drilled in it to blow water in the direction of the surface drains. Note the gradual disappearance of the blackened anaerobic area of the floor. 

   

 13. Excavated hole in the ground for pump house. This is approximatly 1 1/2 60 lb bags of redi-mix concrete. Note that the pour of concrete has been trowled flat. 

 14. Pumphouse with plumbed pump set in fresh pour of concrete. 

   

15. The black pipe in the background is the suction line exiting the pond. It is directed downward into a trench whch is below surface water level of the pond. The line is kept at this low level all the way to the pump. This creates a "flooded suction" to the pump. Juniper roots were tunneled under to maintain pipe dept.

16. Internal surface plumbing completed. Bridge has be put back in place. Pond is ready to be refilled. Note bamboo water return feature in place by bridge under Juniper tree. Notice the floor of the pond is almost void of black color.
