This System Is Temporary for this winter. In the Spring we will be building a Green House and putting this system higher on the hill. |

We first took all the equipment and layed it out for spaceing. Then we built a cinder box stand of 4 Bricks high [large cinder block] x 2 cinder block wide. We placed the Cetus Sieve on top of the Cinder blocks makeing sure the bottom of the Cetus was at the same Level at the top of the Nexus.
We also put a brick beside the nexus for the air pump. [Remember the air pump needs to be at the same level as the Nexus so the water does not flow back into the air pump from the Nexus.

We Placed the Artesian Pro Pump [Besure to size this pump to your pond water level,gph, height, etc.]
We put the pump on top of a cinder block to keep it off the ground. A ball Valve was plces on the output .This is used incase we need to adjust the Water flow to regulate the water thru the Cetus Sieve. We also ended up putting a T between the Electra Pro UV and the pump and put a ball valve on that also. This flowed into the Nexus on it's own. There was too much water going into the Cetus so we made another bypass for the extra water and we wanted it filtered also. This was Perfect. Everything balanced out. |

This is the plumbing from the out put from the Cetus Sieve to the Nexus and the Back Wash from the Cetus Sieve. A ball valve was placed after the 90 degree elbow so that if we needed to keep the water into the Cetus Sieve we could turn off the ball valve to do so. |

In the Spring we will be inlargeing this pond. For now to add the Cetus Sieve we took out the rocks in to bottom of the pond [ See below]. We placed two Retro Drains with Check Valves above the drains and just below the water level to keep the pump primed. In the Spring we will add Two Rhino Drains. |

This was Kayden takeing out the rocks from the pond floor. Kayden took out 26] 5 Gallon Buckets of rocks all by himself. |

Steve rewarded Kayden with a Hundred Dollar Bill.
This is Kaydens First Hundred Dollar Bill.
We are so Proud of Him !!! Thanks Steve for giving Kayden this opportunity. |

LOOK FOR THE SPRING WHEN WE REDO THIS POND AND PUT THE CETUS SIEVE AND NEXUS IN THE GREENHOUSE WITH A 8' SHOW TANK SYSTEM ON THE OPPOSITE END OF THE FITLER SYSTEM.
