Carolyn, Thanks for asking so many question.. Now you have me thinking :-)

Ok I am not really sure where to put this pond. I could put it at the corner of the stairs and the house.. But there is a chance run off could be a problem. I did not think of that at all!! Maybe I could build it up with a retaining wall on one side of it?

I have no clue what type of pump she has. The pond was at least 10 X 5 and 4ft at the deepest part. The pump is separate from the skimmer like yours. The pump is at the top of a 3ft waterfall and skimmer at the shallow end of the pond. She had this pump for at least 7 years with no issues. The only issue was a leak somewhere in the Liner. So I most certainly will have to buy a new one. There were several large koi... some of which I bought for her. Of course now they died for lack of care.

I attached an old picture of her pond and additional pictures of the plants I salvaged.
