July 1 2025 slow sand filter update

It is now July and the weather here has been very nice. Mid-70’s sunny and substantial rainfall.

The original filter started here in 2007 is still functional. The water flowing from it is crystal clear. The piping and input bucket have been repaired. The recirculation pump has been repaired. The main storage barrel has been re-capped and the pitcher pump has been repaired. We are hoping to have the water flowing from this original filter (filter 1) tested soon.

The fish pond filter is still functional and the water in that pond is crystal clear. The fish are doing just fine. The original pond filter started about 15 years ago is also still functional. Filter 4 is still running and producing high quality water.
