Schweiss Family backyard waterfall and pond

What happens when you tell your 18 year old son he can build a pond in your backyard? Why this of course! This is the almost complete version just a little more work to do... there are two 7500 gph pumps(they draw about 17amps combined) with 2" piping for each pumping water to the top which has about 17' of head and the pipes are about 60' in length... the bottom pond is anywhere from 5' to 2' deep in parts... this has been my summer project and I'm just about to finish it up!!

Pretty awesome! I just started on my pond/waterfall in the backyard today. Got blisters all over my hands lol

@m3rob7 Haha blisters cuts and bruises... but when its all done its definitely worth it! Rocks suck in that they rip through anything. I think I used three different sets of gloves and ruined them all through the building process.

hey great video, glad you used a HIGH GPH pump, makes it much more appealing than just a small trickle. NICE JOB!!
