Jeez Jan, I looked at that and thought, "wow, what a cool idea!" Then my
eyes moved over to the price. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaack!

Still, seems a person should be able to Mcgyver something like that.
Hmmmm...

What I did this year, was purchase 50 lb test fishing line. Put up two
strands that look like a miniature ranch fence. Not bad looking at
all! Used the cheap wooden stakes you get from Lowes (or any store like
that) space them equidistance, install the fish line, and I have not
lost anymore fish this season (so far! :-P ) to herons.
Cost? $1.50 for the fishing line and the stakes were left over from 3
years ago when I put in the pond. :-) :-)

Pricey!!

I have to admit that I am a customer of the Pond Filtration folk.
The fellow who owns the place is really a nice friendly person. I'm
very surprised
at the price.... (although the PH 3000 pressurized filter cost upwards
of $300
in '96 - maybe '97) Actually this 'thing' looks very flimsy... and an
eye sore on top of everything else.

I do have some good news though ... Two guys from the pond society are
coming out to redo my
pond and the first thing to go is the Pond Filtration filter. I'm very
very happy about this as I have been rinsing the bags every other day!
No wonder I'm so
exhausted ... j/k

Looking forward to posts on the pond redo!

Too much time rinsing is time away from
pond pondering - sitting and enjoying!

Thanks Kathy ... your sweet comments were are total surprise to me and
very welcome.

The pond society is having the annual auction for the next several days
so the guys are otherwise occupied. I just hope they get here soon -
how lovely it will be to have this awful PF filter Gone!
