This is the 17th year that this blog has been on the net. We are still working on slow sand water filters here.
Filter one is working now. We have repaired the recirculation pump, repaired the water lines , and are running water through the filter daily. Hopefully we will be able to have the output water tested soon.
Both pond filters are running. The pond with 7 fish still has crystal clear water, and the fish are thriving. The filter at the north outbuilding is still functional and is running.
The designs of these above named filters function quite well. The recirculaton pumps are 12 volt dc motor powered and function well.
The weather here has been colder than “normal” with some warm sunny days and close to 2 inches of rain in the past 6 weeks.
