Part 2 of 8: PondEco Systems

A beautiful water garden can provide the soothing sights and sounds of nature right in your own backyard! But, with all the different products on the market today, choosing the system that's right for your needs can be difficult and confusing. After years of trial and error experimentation with various products from various manufacturers, we have chosen PondEco Water Garden Systems as our exclusive supplier of water gardening and pond kits.

In the past, water gardens were very primitive -- usually just holes filled with water and lined with concrete or leaky plastic liners that quickly fell apart. These ponds lacked the necessary elements of filtration, aeration, and bacterial balance to thrive, so they were difficult to maintain, and quickly degenerated into dirty, algae-covered eyesores. PondEco Water Gardening Systems has changed all that.

The PondEco system uses nature's own biofilter -- a gravel streambed -- to provide a place for cleansing bacteria to thrive and help keep your pond healthy. This option, combined with state-of-the-art skimming, filtering, pumping and oxygenation components, and a custom blend of bacteria and enzymes, creates a self-sustaining ecosystem requiring little maintenance. PondEco complete pond kits contain everything you need to build this unique ecosystem in your own yard.

The quality components that make up every PondEco Water Gardening System ensure that you will get a pond that's easy to maintain and enjoy for many years. The patent-pending EcoFalls Filter, combined with a stream system, filters and oxygenates the water, keeping most algae problems at bay. The EcoSkimmer is designed to make removal of larger debris a snap -- with an easy-to-clean basket and filter mat to pre-clean the water before it enters the pump. We feature the highest quality pumps on the market today, and each is custom-matched to your specific system in order to provide the ideal water flow and efficiency for your pond's needs.

We sell fish-friendly PondKing Membrane, a durable, flexible, affordable EPDM 45mil pond liner with a 20-year warranty. It locks into the EcoFalls Filter snout with an interlocking channel and spline design -- so leaks are never a worry.

With complete pond kits customized to your needs, PondEco has eliminated most of the confusion associated with selecting a system. The kits are differentiated by size (number of gallons of water) and contain all the materials you need to construct the pond.

Construction of the pond is simple and straightforward, and most projects can be completed in a single weekend. Each kit comes with an instructional video with easy to follow step-by-step installation tips that put building a pond within reach of the average "do-it-yourselfer." Technical assistance is also available from PondEco professionals who are eager to answer your pond-building questions. Larger ponds may require professional construction and landscaping assistance.
