Photos of the filtration. First photo is the original filtration from the old pond. The Aquadyne bead filter is fed by the 2 skimmers. The vortex on the left is fed by the southern most bottom drain. It is fitting with an Answer which flows to the right vortex that has a fluid bed of Kaldnes.

The second photo is the new filter pit. To the far left is a commercial RO unit which is fed by the large carbon filter to its right. The RO unit produces 450gpd of 0 TDS water. It has dropped my hardness from 140ppm down to 80ppm and the pH from 8.4 down to 8.0.

Folks, I paid Henry a brief visit on Sunday morning. Believe me, it is more impressive in person. Eight feet deep doesn't look deep when the water is so clear you think you should be able to touch the bottom with your hand. Pretty close to perfect, Henry.
