Garden pond update-

To avoid frequent cleaning of the (small) internal filter of Aquapro AP-1050 pond pump I  purchased the AQUAPRO 200 x 100 x 100mm Small Prefilter Sponge for $7.98 - from Bunnings . Took me a few minutes to work out how to fit the pre filter sponge onto the pump. Once fitted you end up with some left over pump parts!

The filter sponge has a plastic tube running down its centre. This tube is threaded at one end which screws into the pump inlet. No more fiddling with the pump, cleaning now is simply a matter of sliding the sponge off its tube and rinsing under tap water

Water tank pump has sprung a leak!

Purchased a ALDI Gardenline 1100W garden pump last January which now leaking water! Just inside warranty period so rang the 1300 number and was told to take it to the Stihl Shop Dandenong for warranty repair/replacement or refund form ALDI.
So...we paid them a visit yesterday and it's booked in, wonder how long it will take and what the outcome will be?

Garden pond update

Dropped into Bunnings on the way home from the horses and got a Clam Shell Sandpit which looks the same size/shape/profile as the old one which will now act as a base for the new one.

Another HOT day…
