Installing A Heated Waterfall For My Alligators!
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
Winter is a very difficult time to keep alligators in Idaho. Freezing temperatures, wind, and snow make it hard to keep the Alligator House warm enough for Soni and Chompers. My old method of adding warm water in the alligator pool in the winter is not efficient. It only keeps the pool warm for a couple of days and then the water temperature drops back down. Even our large industrial heater in the Alligator House can't keep the building and the pool warm enough. I need a better solution to keep the pool warm during the winter time. I also need more oxygen in the Alligator pool for the fish. The tilapia are constantly gaping for air at the surface, a clear indication they need more oxygen in the water. For years we have talked about a waterfall for Chompers because she loves the pressure from the water hose. A waterfall not only would enrich Chompers the Alligator but also add more oxygen to the pool, which would make our fish happy! Luckily, my friend Matt from Red Thread Productions came in to help install a new water pump and water flow system for the Alligator pool. This is necessary because to create a waterfall for the Alligator pool, we need a new water pump, because Soni the Alligator destroyed his last water pump located inside the Alligator pool. Watch how we install a new water pump (outside of the gator pool) and how we make a waterfall that cascades under the Alligator bridge! You can also see how we install a water heater to keep the Alligator pool warm during the winter time. Will the water heater work? Will it cause problems in the Alligator House? Watch this Alligator video to find out!

engineering student here. I would recomend you add a ventilation heat recovery unit to vent humid air and bring in dry air to be heated by the recovery unit. they recover 90% of the heat from vented air. it would fix your humidity problem and stail air whilst keeping the heat, also has lower energy cost than a dehumidifier. hope this helps

Love your insight! Thank you so much! I will pass this info along to Matt!
I can tell how much you love your animals. It's so obvious in the way you do so much to make them comfortable and safe. Especially your alligators - everyone loves watching such obviously dangerous creatures. How are your other animals doing? Have you been giving/planning updates and renovations to any of their habitats? I'd love to see more of your other animals!

Corbin, you are so concerned about the well being of the animals in your care. You’re a very compassionate person and we can tell how much animals mean to you. I feel the same way about animals, domestic and wild. Curious, is the ceiling of the alligator house insulated? I’m sure the dehumidifier will work. I live in the South and we’re always dealing with humidity. Hugs to Soni and Chompers.
