for Water Gardens & Koi Ponds
Having a hard time finding the correct filter and
pump and all those miscellaneous plumbing valves and pieces to complete a
low-maintenance and easy-to-use pond system? We're here to make it easy
for you! As long as the pond you are constructing fits into our definition
of an "average pond" you can plan and/or purchase your system by clicking on the
correct sized pond you are planning to build.

Our Definition of An "Average Pond"
When we
build ponds we make each a masterpiece of its own. No two should ever be
the same, just like in nature. For example, some have tremendously huge
waterfalls while others have gentle streams. Therefore, it's a bit tough
to determine the parameters of an "average pond".
So that we
can put some kind of a "kit" together we are defining our "average pond" as one
of natural shape consisting of two ponds joined by a stream and waterfalls.
Each size "average pond" will flow moderately and self-priming pump applications
will be used -- but each of the following factors will naturally change with the
size of the pond.
- The
length of the stream.
- The
total elevation from water level of the bottom pond to the very top of the
upper collection pond.
- The
total lineage from the bottom re-circulation drain to the top of the upper
collection pond.
If you are
planning a pond that fits all the factors we've listed for its size, the
recommended equipment for each size "kit" will work brilliantly for you.
If, for example, you want a 20-foot waterfall with cascading white-waters the
pumps chosen for the kits will not work for you. In that case, call us at
(770) 663-6325 or
email us for the equipment we would recommend so that you can be satisfied
with the results.

How to Find the Pond's Size
An easy
way to determine the approximate size (in gallons) of your proposed pond is to
measure the average length, width and depth of the pond and do the following
multiplication:
Avg.
Length x Avg. Width x Avg. Depth x 7
