Good to hear from you... Willie say's hi to both you and Paulette... Hope all is back to normal after Katrina... Sent some emails out but they probably got lost in all the outages...
Thanks for the information... Didn't have any information on the number of gallons that would pass through the filters before they became ineffective, can now save some money on cartridges... Have a water meter on each pond so will be able to monitor the use... Am also going to put a valve ahead of the meter because Nelson, the guy we visited in Hawaii Kai, said that it's best to restrict the flow through the carbon to ensure that we eliminate the chlorine before the pond... I remember your advice re: spraying the water and installed the Hudson Valves, which spritzes the water, ahead of our skimmers so that the new water goes from the skimmers to the bakkis...
With your added info, I think I have the situation covered... The information from yourself and Bekko (Steve, the guy with his private jungle on the beach that we also visited) will also be invaluable to our club members...
Let me know when you're ready to take that vacation in the house overlooking Hana Bay or the one on the beach itself...
Aloha! Mike |
