Lovely Lava Rock Filter for Your Pond

By

Jim and Shelva

Does the water stay clear from Algae? We have sponges in our filters that we have to clean every week and we are trying to find an easier way to maintain our 3 ponds. I hear people talk about lava rocks being used as filters without routine cleaning. Can you tell me more?

I love this .......can you share the steps I would need to take to make this for my pond that I am planning and yet to build?Thank you so much!

It looks very rustic-and I like the idea that cascades. I think it is very pretty-and solves the delima I have had about a cascading stream and how I was going to do it. Do you ever empty the barrel and clean off the lava rocks with a pressure hose??
