Location
and size are the two most important decisions you'll make about your water
feature. By some estimates, 90 percent of the original water gardens sold
are replaced later with larger ones. An enthusiastic pond hobbyist always
finds new plants or interesting fish to add to his investment. As a general
rule, a 180 square-foot or 11' x 16' pond is a good "standard" size water
feature. Trace your prospective pond out on the ground with a garden hose
to help you visualize what the finished size will be.
Building a water garden should be a fun, creative, and enjoyable process.
Unfortunately, water feature construction is often time consuming and
frustrating. Biological Eco Systems and Complete Biological Eco System Pond
Kits were developed to help eliminate any frustrations and increase your
enjoyment while building custom water features.
These pond kits eliminate your guesswork and experimentation because everything
in the kit is designed and sized to work together, from pumps to plumbing
to filters and liners. Place an order and the material arrives at your site
via UPS in only a couple of days complete and ready to install. AND, we can
customize a pond for you! Water features 20 X 30 are common. We are equipped
to assemble and ship any size kit, with larger falls, bio-system, pump, etc.,
just email us! You can also customize any kit we offer, with a larger liner,
more lights, bigger pump, add a stream, or fountain, to go with your Biofalls,
we'll help, just email us!
Regardless of the type of pond you choose to build, you will be installing
a system of pond elements that work together to keep your pond clean. The
type of container you choose, its location, the pump, filters, waterfalls,
pipe size, plants, fish type and quantity all come together in your pond
to form a system. Manufacturers of individual pumps and filters claims must
be tempered with the reality of how the filter or pump works in combination
with the other elements of your design. The best pump, fitted to an undersize
pipe, will not circulate water per the specification on the pump box.
Below we will describe two systems that meet the above criteria. Weather
you are adding to an existing pond or need a complete pond kit there are
systems to meet your needs. The filters and skimmers can be purchased as
individual components or as a complete system. Read the information look
at the illustrations and decide if one is right for you. The pond and filter
configuration drawings take into account the interaction of various pond
elements. The combination of elements suggested has proven in practice to
work well together and require only minimal maintenance. Keep in mind these
are self-contained bodies of water. They need a properly designed recirculating
filter system including keeping the water clean and healthy. |
