Hi group, I am in the process of designing a formal pond for my Townhouse. In the interest of making my life easier in the future, for maintenance purposes, I am thinking of using stainless steel to create some of the filter components. Is anyone aware of any kind of detrimental effects that...

I may not use the proper terminology, but if anyone can make heads or tails out of this and responds or tells me where I can find more information I sure would appreciate it. There seems to be a sort of local water table with respect to ponds. To put it one way, if you dig a hole in the ground...
