Thought you all might appreciate this bad boy in action. We get water on this side of the house in our basement. Just DIY’d this and broke it in with its first downpour of 4in of rain. Pictures of the finished product in the comments! More plants around it coming!

Lots of work to still be done!
Great work, it’ll be a masterpiece with a little flora! I prefer the cone shaped drain caps so the stones don’t shift around, it’s just a preference though, you’ve already got a good drainage cyclone going
So how does this work, is it a dry well? Or a recirculating pump
So fun!
and the crowd goes willllllllldddd!!!! this is amazing! great job!
How do you plan to keep it free of dirt buildup? I have an outdoor sump pump under some similar rocks and it’s a pain every couple months having to pull up all the rocks and clean out the dirt that builds up between the cracks. Eventually the dirt compacts and drastically slows down the rate at which water can get through.
Well done!
That whirlpool is incredible
