The rain has topped up the pool pond! 🙏 🌧️
It is overflowing at the overflow and only at the overflow, that I can tell :). I powered the pump up from its 40% (34W) to 75% (120W) to get things moving in the filter while we have the rain.
I might as well use it to allow it to clean the gunk out of the system naturally!
Still feels like I got rushed into filling it, but it is really satisfying nonetheless to see it functioning as designed in my head! lol

The first trickle from filter to pool pond.
The main pond is not quite 3/4 full, but I thought it was important to make sure the filter was completely full and ready to start filtering. So I have shored up the low edges of the filter, taken away the temporary stream, and now the water is starting to flow from filter to pond. In time it will connect with the pump bay. Then I can turn on the pump and start circulating for real.
😆
The reason this is happening now is not the best reason. Our view to the southeast is not encouraging.

#poolpond #oops #fire #diy

we are now on Stage 3 water restrictions! No fill *or* topping up of ponds or pools! So that definitely captures the #poolpond ;)
I'm going to go get an adapter for my little pond pump hose so it can hook up to a regular garden hose and we'll use all the #pool water for watering the gardens over the next few weeks until the rains truly return.
