" "The Penultimate Step of the War" - In a crucial immunity challenge, the remaining seven castaways make their final push towards the $2 million prize, on the penultimate two-hour episode of SURVIVOR: WINNERS AT WAR "

I'm guessing someone will come back from the Edge. Who do you want to come back? I'd love to see Natalie or Rob.

I really hope Natalie gets back in the game and wins it all. That girl has been a beast, and been on fire with the challenges to get the fire tokens. Yes, Sarah needs to go.

Electricity cost to run pond pump/filter 20' x 30' x 2.5'
Q
Comments (10)
It will be a lot, as you face several issues. First issue: This is a very large pond you are looking at, in the range of 11,000 gallons (using the calculations you provided). It sounds as if someone had a very serious koi pond at one time. Although you state you are leaning toward not keeping fish, I would want bottom drains installed in a pond of this size, or you will end up with a mucky mess in a couple of years. If this was a properly designed koi pond, some of that plumbing may still be in place. So the first consideration is that you will need a pump that will filter something on the order of 5,500 to 10,000 gallons per hour, 24 hours a day. A Dolphin Ampmaster ES5500 external pump would perform this function relatively inexpensively, at about 286 watts per hour. I've seen that pump listed for around $400. The second issue is that a pump like the Dolphin will not push water to the heights you are considering for your waterfall. You need a pump that will push 40 feet or greater "well head" height -- the vertical distance that a pump will raise a column of water. For this, you will need a powerful unit like a Sequence Primer which draws around 1500 watts per hour. That is about the same as a large window air conditioner. Where I live in Virginia, the math works out like this: 1500 watts = 1.5 kWh x 7 cents = $1.05 per hour. (I think the national average cost is more like 10 cents per kWh.) Therefore, since you must run filtration 24 hours a day, you are probably looking at two pump systems. The filtration could be accomplished with a low-cost unit like the Dolphin. Your waterfall would be fed by a second very powerful pump that you'd run only for those hours each day when you want to operate the waterfall. You could reduce your cost somewhat by lowering the height of the waterfall. If you are serious about this project, I would recommend first reading up on koi pond design and construction. (There are several websites which specialize in this subject.) Also, some of the experts around here will hopefully chime in. This is not a "garden-variety" pond project that you are considering!

New pool -- DE filter needing backwashing every 5-6 hours?
Q
Comments (4)
Thanks. I am happy to be patient if I know itÃ¯Â¿Â½s all normal. I was just thrown off since itÃ¯Â¿Â½s not what they said to expect and certainly not consistent with the amount of DE they left me that was supposed to last the full two weeks until they return Ã¯Â¿Â½ I already had to buy more after 3 days since I an burring through 10 lbs. a day still. In fact after what is really 2.5 days (it was first setup Friday mid-day) and itÃ¯Â¿Â½s Sunday night now, it is getting progressively worse. I backwashed it just 90 minutes ago and got it back to the default 18 psi. Now it is already to 26. On the first day it raised about 1 psi an hour, now it just raised 8 psi in 90 minutes. And the time before it was in-between, so it is rising faster every time now. At this rate I will need to start getting up in the middle of the night to backwash it since it wonÃ¯Â¿Â½t be able to survive the night (they have it running 24 hours for two weeks). Can you explain the drain part Ã¯Â¿Â½ they didnÃ¯Â¿Â½t show me that when they walked through how to do it or even point out the part. They only showed me how to turn the filter on/off, adjust the backwash values and put in the DE (though they did that wrong and I had to figure it out from the instructions on the DE bag). The filter is a Jandy with 48 effective sq. ft. of filtration area. They have me putting in 5 lbs of DE every time I backwash. The Backwash slide value is also Jandy.

https://www.goldderby.com/article/2022/survivor-42-preview-jeff-probst-not-exactly-merged/ Jeff explains further, “In fact, you are not merged. You will not be officially merged until after the next tribal council. Like everything else in this game, you are going to earn your way into the merge.” As the group contemplates what that means, Jeff adds, “So right now, you are without a buff and you are without a tribe.”

Kyle is my favorite by far, Andy and Sue are my least favorites. I was so glad Kyle won immunity! I know he’s a huge threat if he makes it to the end. I’m really enjoying this season of Survivor; I think they chose an all-around good cast. I still wish it would go back to two tribes from the beginning, though, instead of three.

Who do you like for the win?

I had to look up what "penultimate" meant! Never heard that word before.

I agree with Mystical Manns... Natalie has worked so hard and been there since the beginning. If not her, then Boston Rob... I'd be happy for Tyson as well.

I think it would be beyond amazing if Natalie did come back in and won the whole thing! I bet a lot of the jury members would vote for her.

The last time they did the Edge, the jury voted for Chris, who won the last come-back challenge and then beat Devins in fire-building. The jury will vote that way unless the players still in it manage to dump the returnee ASAP.

Rob is my choice and I have never really been a Rob fan.

I am not invested enough this time to have a favorite for the win.

For terilyn: Natalie just traded an advantage she won for 8 fire tokens. She purchased a large jar of peanut butter for 3 tokens. Then purchased an immunity idol for herself and another player. "IF" she gets back into the game....she won't be hungry....and can't be voted out of the next tribal if she uses her immunity idol.

Nicole - did I sleep thru that? LOL I didn't see Natalie purchase anything - or did you read it? I haven't read the recap yet. I have been wondering about the fire tokens as well, I only recall Tyson buying himself a jar of pb weeks ago. Who was the other player she bought an idol for?

Right now I'm wondering why Sarah is still in the game? She does nothing but argue with Tony... she has zero "resume" as far as I'm concerned. She just acts like she should be the winner and at this point I'm hoping she's not. I'm not a Ben fan this time around either.

I feel sorry for the other players on "The Edge." Tyson & Natalie BOTH have these HUGE jars of peanut butter to eat.....and everyone else has a spoonful of rice....starving to death. I wish they had great fishing gear. Rob can fish! Seems soooooooooooooo unfair.......

Well dammit my pick Nick got the boot. Grrrr. Out of who is left, I really dislike Michele. Her whiny voice and semi uptalking just makes me mad. She deserves to be there? Hardly. Same with Sarah. I am really starting to not like Tony either, his comment about the "bottom tier" players irked me.

If Nick can't get back in and win, I hope Natalie does. She is a beast for sure. She has worked hard the entire time she's been at the Edge.. I really, really, REALLY hope it's not Rob or Parvati, gag. Or Wendell, don't like him this time around. I can't believe it's over next week!

Yul has always been an extremely smart player. I remember his season because there were a lot of smart players instead of pretty ones who sat on the beach braiding hair. Too bad he flies under the radar because he's a quiet person.

I think we're seeing another side of Ben and it's not pleasant.

Tony has worked so hard that he probably deserves it more than anyone. Ya gotta love his spy shack! Natalie has only had to survive the physical challenges and boredom of being on the Edge so I don't think her winning it is in the spirit of Survivor.

i have not commented b/c i just caught up last night! WOW!

this has been a great season!! Love the fire token aspect!! just another twist which is awesome!

the only thing that 'bothers' me is i think there are too many people on Extinction... so tough to get back in and they are only letting one player return. TOUGH!!

tony's move to get out sophie was great! absolutely fine with nick getting the boot.

who do i want to win?? well if picking a returning player - Natalie, Rob, Ethan or Yul. but should a returning player win? after all they did get voted out.

whose left to win? tony, sarah or michelle. not feeling ben or denise.
