<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">What is my view? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">From our dining room I look through our french doors
and see dragonflies fluttering on my lotus blossoms and my beautiful
waterfall that is framed by lush tropical landscape.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This time of is the
perfect time to open the windows and let the Orlando, Central Florida
breeze carry the sound of your waterfall through your home.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> When
we go on <a href="http://www.pondtastic.com/design-consultaion.html">design consultations</a> we are always suggesting that the water
feature be as close to your home as is possible. Why? The closer to your
home the more you are able to enjoy it.<br />Maybe you'll be able to
watch the flowing water as you look out the window while doing dishes or
maybe koi fish will great your guest as they enter your home.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">A very popular Orlando, Central Florida landscape enhancement is to add
an <a href="http://www.pondtastic.com/ecosystem-ponds1.html">ecosystem pond</a> or <a href="http://www.pondtastic.com/pondless-waterfalls1.html">pondless waterfall</a> onto Florida rooms and lanai's.
This often gives multiple vantage points to view your piece of paradise
from. Would you love to have this view?</span></div>

new spillway bowls can be placed in any pond, pondless waterfall or be a
stand alone water feature of it's own to add beauty and tranquility to
your Orlando Central Florida(FL) landscape.<br />
We love the versatility
that these spillway bowls offer, you can have multiple bowls spilling
from different elevations to create a dramatic splashing water feature
or you can enjoy the tranquil sound of one bowl spilling into the other.<br />

What is your dream pond? Do you want a large pond so you can have big koi swimming gracefully by? Or is it to have a pond that always blooming with beautiful aquatic plants?<br />
Gary Wittstock of Titusville, Fl had many visions for his dream pond, those dreams came true in February as his new Ecosystem "dream pond" was built at his new retirement home.<br />
<br />
This pond owner is very special to Jim and I, Gary and his son have been mentors to us since starting Pondtastic Water Gardens.<br />
Gary is the "Pond Father" Gary's son, Greg<br />
Wittstock
The Pond Guy, owns and operates Aquascape Inc. the largest supplier
of water feature equipment in North America. If you've read our blogs
or newsletters for any amount of time you've read us reference Aquascape
100's of times. You've seen our pictures with Greg as we've received
many recognition's and awards from Aquascape. The best recognition to
date was being named <a href="http://www.aquascapeinc.com/blogs/contractor-articles/Pondemonium-Inspires-Attendees-to-Go-Green">Aquascape Certified Contractor of the Year.</a><br />

The Wittstock family moved from New Jersey to Wheaton IL with 11 turtles in the bottom drawer of their refrigerator. <br />
By the second day in their new home 12 year old Greg had already dug a backyard pond for his beloved turtles. This pond was not the ecosystem liner ponds of today but rather a concrete pond that turned green and cracked. This pond however is what started the Wittstock men on a journey that continues today.<br />

Gary recently retired to the Titusville, Central Florida (FL) area and left behind his ponds of 34 years.<br />
Leaving behind the freezing winter of Illinois for the tropical climate of Central Florida (FL)<br />
The plans got in motion when Greg flew into Orlando to meet with a potential client to be aired on the show <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDN7H5HkmH5VM9RXPDJLbfg/videos">Pond Squad. </a><br />

Jim met Greg and Gary for lunch as Gary shared his vision of what his dream pond would look. That was in June of 2015. Gary kept in touch with Jim and I and we learned that this special pond build was going to be a "build a pond" Certified Aquascape Contractors from around the state and even as far as Long Island NY came to build this "Dream Pond" in Titusville, Central Florida (FL).<br />
<br />
<br />
It's always great for us to get together with other pond builders to build, we always learn something new. Unveiled at this pond build was the new Aquascape skimmer which was installed by Dave Havrilka with Aquascape Products and Development. Working along side us were great friends and mentors from across the state, Pondtastic Water Gardens had the shortest drive over to Titusville, Central Florida (FL) at 45 minutes and the longest drive was 2 hrs 30 minutes which was driven by Pinellas Ponds. A HUGE Shout Out to Jeff of Island Aquascape Inc for traveling from Long Island NY to build for Gary.<br />
<br />
Gary has been involved in the pond world much of his adult life from building, design work to manufacturing. He knew what to expect through the entire process and yet he was still in awe if the process. Many times I would see him just stand back with the biggest smile on his face or say "I just can't believe this"<br />
I loved to watch as Gary proudly explained to the many golf cart riding neighbors that stopped by to see what all these people were doing in his yard and changing his landscape.<br />
Already residents in the community are changing their walking routines to now include as pass by "Gary's Dream Pond" <br />

<b><u>Outdoor Living Spaces</u></b><br />
Most
people think of outdoor grills and patio furniture when they think of
outdoor living spaces. Once the outdoor meal is over, what more is there
to do in your backyard? While many homeowners turn to pools or hot
tubs, they're discouraged by the amount of <a href="http://www.pond-contractor.services/old-page--pond-algae--maintenance.html" title=""><b>maintenance</b></a> and chemicals required with these amenities. For the price of a hot tub, a beautiful <a href="http://www.pond-contractor.services/what-is-a-pond-ecosystem.html" title=""><b>Ecosystem Pond</b></a>
can be installed, and less maintenance is required thereby providing
more time to relax and enjoy friends and family. An Ecosystem Pond
maintains clarity and quality of water through a balance of <a href="http://www.pond-contractor.services/koi--pond-fish-information.html" title=""><b>fish</b></a>, <a href="http://www.pond-contractor.services/aquatic-pond-plants-information.html" title=""><b>plants</b></a>,
aeration, and filtration, often eliminating the need for chemicals. -

After this tiring and informative day these Orlando homeowners decided that they did not want to build the pond themselves but rather wanted the Certified Aquascape Contractors at Pondtastic to remove their first pond which was a preformed hard plastic pond. This first pond was enjoyable at first however the time had come for a natural looking ecosystem pond to be built.<br />

The one week construction began in early October 2009. The perfect area was selected so that the pond could be viewed from multiple areas as well as enhance their Central Florida landscape.<br />
<br />
<br />
After learning about the different sizes in skimmers and biofalls and pumps at the Build A Pond class these informed customers decided to upgrade their filtration and pumps. <br />

We always love the excitement<br />
of new pond owners and this couple was no exception. <br />
Each time we saw them after the pond was built for the next several years they seems just as excited and in love with their pond as they were the first time the waterfall was turned on.<br />

Retirement is a very exciting time in anyone's life, and the countdown had begun for these two educators.<br />
We were contacted to once again rebuild another pond.<br />
The plans for a dream backyard with entertaining areas and a larger pond was set into motion.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This time a larger 11'x16' ecosystem pond was designed to accommodate the koi and have a wow waterfall.<br />

Again, the excitement with this couple is so infectious. <br />
The goal was to have the pond finished in time for a big retirement and anniversary party.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
These pond owners are another great example of our motto<br />
"We build friendships one pond at a time"<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
As you can see from the pictures below they had the perfect back drop for their party.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Congratulations on your retirement!</span><br />

<br />
What an amazing experience the Pondtastic owners, Jim and Theresa had meeting the Incredible Dr Pol and his wife Diane of the famed NatGeo Wild show The Incredible Dr. Pol.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd6FpIrWqxZn2cKCRts1GuwF_FMyDA2hmxphhSS7DcF3u7OJqAZh1PJHa5hNnn7yDUs8d2JJ3gUC0VLtc9wBAQsMRUh5dVgkRkG_F8l5GJ4y0nzPS8eKaInbU-Lk5R9YgthH71wIKo6Ivd/s1600/20150808_134544.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd6FpIrWqxZn2cKCRts1GuwF_FMyDA2hmxphhSS7DcF3u7OJqAZh1PJHa5hNnn7yDUs8d2JJ3gUC0VLtc9wBAQsMRUh5dVgkRkG_F8l5GJ4y0nzPS8eKaInbU-Lk5R9YgthH71wIKo6Ivd/s320/20150808_134544.jpg" width="180" /></a>We had the pleasure of being in a small group of 15 people who had the opportunity to listen and ask questions of the Pol's. If you have ever seen the show you know how the two of them banter back and for. The same is true in real life, they are a fun couple. Following our small group session, Dr Pol was the keynote speaker at the 2015 Pondemonium event. This too was fun as he as has so many stories, he told about his early years in the Netherlands up to how his son encouraged and ultimately pitched the TV networks on the show concept that is now "The Incredible Dr Pol.<br />

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnMXkiCTjeDjfUB77nH5R7Y3Xb3JiW1udHFCHcotGU6YcQ-jW2dY4QgzpoKlH_3_dor67mDkNtjBUFnPW8SqCGw-t1LEtZeuv8nf9ucEwX3PNiGA-ra2MZTyQPOUdLprlghYmdXtQvPvDa/s1600/Dr+Pol+first+pond.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnMXkiCTjeDjfUB77nH5R7Y3Xb3JiW1udHFCHcotGU6YcQ-jW2dY4QgzpoKlH_3_dor67mDkNtjBUFnPW8SqCGw-t1LEtZeuv8nf9ucEwX3PNiGA-ra2MZTyQPOUdLprlghYmdXtQvPvDa/s320/Dr+Pol+first+pond.jpg" style="cursor: move;" width="320" /></a>This was done on a rain cold Michigan fall day. The one day build turned out just beautiful. <br />
This water garden then sparked Dr Pol's interest about his large earth bottom pond/lake. What could be done to keep it clean and have a natural look to it.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Fast forward to November 2015, Again the "Pond Squad" and a group of Certified Aquascape Contractors tackle the huge job of filtering and creating a natural waterfall that could be seen from the home when the Pol's sit out to drink their coffee in the morning.<br />

<b>Beneficial Bacteria™</b> <b>$39.98</b> contains 8 pure strains of concentrated beneficial bacteria, including <br />
PSB(Photo Synthetic Bacteria) bacteria and enzymes. This combination of natural cleaners helps to maintain a strong biological balance in your pond. Because ornamental water gardens are enclosed ecosystems, <br />
sometimes factors like fish load, uneaten fish food, organics such as leaves, sludge and unwanted debris may disrupt the balance causing poor water quality and clarity. <br />
Beneficial Bacteria maintains a strong biological balance; providing clean, clear and healthy water conditions. <br />

<b>Physical Removal</b> Physically remove clumps of string algae if it begins to overtake the pond. <br />
Pull or cut away the algae where it is attached. Think of it as “weeding the pond.”<br />
<br />
<b>Control Run-Off </b>Never use lawn fertilizer or insecticides on trees around your pond or on areas of your property that will drain toward your pond. Lawn fertilizer and insecticides will cause large algae<br />
blooms, as well as severely threaten the aquatic life inside your pond.<br />
<br />
<b>Remove Debris</b> Keep your pond free of debris. Don’t let the skimmer debris net overfill with leaves. <br />
Decaying debris in the skimmer will contribute to unwanted nutrients.<br />
<br />
<b>Have Patience</b> It takes time for the bacteria to establish itself and colonize to the point of being a <br />
benefit to your pond. In general, a new pond can take anywhere from two to six weeks for the bacteria<br />
population to reach this point.<br />

The first being, rain water harvesting.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Well, first can we really say we have winter in Florida? Yes the weather cools off and yes we need to follow a couple simple steps to ensure the health and safety of our beloved koi.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">First, it is recommended to purchase a pond thermometer. Begin to monitor the temperature and when the water reaches upper 50° begin to reduce the feedings. When the water temperature has reached</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">50° stop feeding. Keeping in mind that the air temperature is much cooler than the water temperature so in Florida we really only have a hand full of days and nights that we do not feed the koi.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Lets explain why we reduce and stop feeding koi in cooler weather.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Koi start slowing down in preparation for a period of
semi-dormancy as the temperature begin to decline. Their digestive and immune systems slow down, and they
are not capable of digesting food the way that they can
during the warmer months. Koi are particularly susceptible to problems
at this time, as they have no stomach to aid in digestion; food passes
directly into their small
intestines, where it will sit and rot. The ensuing intestinal bacteria
can pass into their bloodstream, causing sepsis which will debilitate or
even kill the immune-suppressed fish.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When you resume feeding the koi DO NOT over feed them as this too can be dangerous for your finned friends. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If you are unsure whether to feed your koi or how much to feed them please err on the side of caution. Always feed a high quality high <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">protein</span> food avoid foods with lots of fillers. We only feed our koi Blackwater Creek Koi food.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Don't worry, if the koi become hungry during this time they will dine on the algae in the pond.</span><br />

<br />
That's a long time right?<br />
<br />
I sure think it is, and we make jokes about how long it has been from the first time we spoke about this project but this project really shows how I feel about what I do.<br />
<br />
I believe that at Pondtastic Water Gardens we have a passionate team of individuals that professionally create living works of art. I believe that there are very few people that can do what we do to the level that we do it.<br />
<br />
Can others see that passion..... some can , some can't.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
When people make a choice to hire anyone for anything... is passion a determining factor? <br />
<br />
I am not any different than any of you that are reading this.. I have to make purchasing decisions also.<br />
<br />
I look at the same things you do..... cost, experience, references, completion time, etc.... but does passion enter into the equation? should it?<br />
<br />
Absolutely without a doubt yes !<br />
<br />
Can you have a passionate auto mechanic? would it make a difference?<br />
Can you have a passionate plumber ? would it make a difference?<br />
<br />
I believe that anyone who loves what they do will do it better. I believe that people will do the extra for the satisfaction of doing the job properly and not just doing enough to get by.<br />
<br />

<br />
Sometimes I will be sitting in my office working away and kind of eavesdropping on conversations taking place on the phone... it is great to hear the passion in voices of our staff. Can others hear it?<br />
<br />
Sometimes we will be out on a pond build and I will watch one of our team search for the perfect rock to finish off the edge of the pond.. stand back and look at it ... pull it out and get a different one. Could they have left that rock there and started to work on something else? Sure ! But he had a vision of what he wanted it to look like and he wasn't going to settle for anything less.<br />

That's what you get when you pay for passion... You get a team of people that care, that are concerned that will go above and beyond every chance they have. A team of people that take ownership!<br />
<br />
So is passion worth paying for?<br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Are you thinking of having a custom pond or pondless installed? Here are some waterfalls to inspire you as you begin plan.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">All of Pondtastic Water Gardens waterfalls are custom built, each waterfall has it's own unique characteristics. Often clients like many elements of multiple features, let Pondtastic take those elements and design your one of a kind waterfall.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The look of a waterfall can greatly change simply by the size pump pushing the water over the falls. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Do you want a crashing waterfall or do you want a gentle babbling brook?</span><br />

This Longwood, Florida backyard feels like you are on a mountain retreat. It's like you are miles away from the construction on the highway and the traffic from less than a mile away can't even be heard. Instead, you hear birds chirping and the rustling of leaves as squirrels chase each other around the tree.<br />
Even the Florida temperatures are shielded from the large trees that provide cooling shade.<br />
This is paradise!<br />

One must walk the paths to discover the start of the 35' stream nestled among lush Florida landscaping. This stream features 3 areas where the water crashes and falls into the next elevation change. Water bubbling and gurgling down the stream invites you to sit on a large rock and put your feet in to cool down. Again, making you feel that you are anywhere but in busy Central Florida. <br />

This ecosystem pond is 11'x16' with a 35' stream, features 2 Aquasurge 5000 pumps, 8.0 skimmer filter with large basket to capture any flowing debris. The start of the waterfall is another filter, a Signature Series 2500 biofalls. Added oxygen is provided by a 40 liter aeration system, oxygen is always great for the koi and it helps slow the growth of algae in the pond.<br />
Algae growth is also slowed by the use of an Aquascape IonGen which does a really nice job combating string algae. The water quality is maintained by adding Beneficial Bacteria weekly is digest the organics in the pond. An ultra violet light was installed to supplement in the hottest part of the summer when we have daily rain and it's 98°. This light will kill any algae that passed in from of it.<br />
Pond lighting was installed so that this paradise can be enjoyed in the evenings also. <br />

After the pond was constructed Adam with<a href="https://www.facebook.com/lanaihardscapecompany/" target="_blank"> Lanai Hardscape Company</a> added walkways
and additional seating areas along with lush Florida landscaping to give
this yard a completed look.<br />

The yard has so many great little areas with hidden treasures and the pond has become the focal point of this backyard.<br />

<br />
There are so many breathtaking views and vantage points from which to enjoy this pond.<br />
At times this homeowner said "it's difficult to work from my home office, I'm always looking out the office window at the pond"<br />
Entertaining on their Florida room now comes with it's own waterfall soundtrack.<br />
The bistro seating along the stream is a great place to enjoy a refreshing beverage and let the worries of the day seem so far away.<br />

Color
is formulated to bring out the maximum vibrancy of color. Special
ingredients aid in bringing out the color needed to enter your fish in
competitions or simply make them look their best. For optimum results.
Use for up to two months prior to show or competition. This diet
contains 4 different natural color enhancer's in sufficient quantities
to brighten the colors RED and YELLOW. Some color enhancing diets on
the market put only enough product in the diet to be listed on the
label. We put enough ingredients to include over 30% of the diet.
Quality product, great price.<br />

<b>Blackwater Gold-N Professional Diet</b><br />
Gold-N
combines ingredients with many micro nutrients and vitamins as well as
other ingredients to help digestion and maximum uptake of nutrients.
This floating Koi food is a favorite of those keeping champion and
show-grade fish. It is used by professionals world wide. Blackwater
Creek also uses it as a grind to feed small fish for fast growth and
body shape. This diet if fortified with probiotics including Bacillus
Subtillus and Aspirgillus Orezae in sufficient quantities to maximize
digestion and minimize waste.<br />
Fish-meal, Shrimp Meal, Kelp Meal
make up over 60% of the diet. No fillers, better digestion. This is why
so many hobbyists are discovering that you don’t have to pay a lot to
provide your fish with the top diet available for Koi.<br />
Many people
who have not taken the time or have the time to dig deep into Koi
nutrition may judge a Koi food on price alone. This perception that "if
it costs more , then it must be better" allows some people selling
fish food as Koi food to charge a high price for an inferior product.
(Tilapia food , Catfish food etc) These are not the best for your fish.
Blackwater Gold-N is. Therefore if you would like to pay more for a
diet to help you feel better about quality, we have listed Gold-N with
various prices for you to choose from. Its the same diet, same
packaging, and same size... just at a higher price to compare with the
other diets claiming to be professional. If it makes you feel better,
you can pay more... we don’t mind (grin).<br />

formerly called Blackwater “Gold”. Hikari Sales USA is the registered
trademark holder of the word "Gold" and thus we were forced to change
the name... By the way… the “N“ in Gold-N stands for “Not Hikari”
Compare this diet to the Hikari Saki diet and you will see that it is a
comparable diet at half the price. Champion fish deserve Gold-N<br />

Imagine having dinner on your patio and listening to the gentle flow of water at it makes it way through the rocks and plants on your Florida patio.<br />
<br />
This is exactly what this home owner had always envisioned for her lanai, sadly it took her having two features being built to get what she had wanted to be the focal point of her outdoor room.<br />
<br />

The home owner knew she had a problem the next morning when her pump was "screaming" and her patio was wet. After several attempts of the handyman trying to fix the multiple problems with the waterfall the client unplugged her waterfall and left it for several months. After looking at her "pile" of rocks for far too long she contacted <a href="http://www.pondtastic.com/" target="_blank">Pondtastic Water Gardens</a>.<br />

Jim went out met with the Orlando homeowner, within seconds of looking at her pondless waterfall he found the first crucial rookie mistake, all the rocks were cemented together. Why is this a problem you might ask? Water follows the path of least resistance, the way this was build the water rolled right out of the feature onto the patio.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
In a matter of a day and a half the feature was completed and we have a very happy client who loves to entertain on her Florida room and loves her pondless waterfall.<br />

with custom designed products. When it comes to ponds, each is individually
crafted to fit the new environment, and as a buyer, you should keep in mind
that the average numbers will fluctuate to your particular pond.<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>Ponds
come in a variety of shapes, looks, and styles, depending on your space, budget and preferences.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
The most commonly built ponds in the Orlando area, are about
11’ x 16’ in size. Using these numbers, the “average” will begin around $12,000
but commonly rounds up to about $15,000-$20,000. Now this range depends on how
many custom features the pond aspires to have. A pond alone may be around $12,000
(at that particular size), but add-ons that many people envision in a pond,
such as plants, lights, waterfalls, fish, streams etc., will add to the base price.</div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Why would the final price tag of a pond
be vastly different than the base model? Ponds, like cars, are very
customizable. Certain people only want the car with roll up windows and an
AM/FM radio. While others want the leather seats with a navigation system and
an engine push start button. So when you ask for a basic pond, it doesn’t include
the add-ons that most people like in a pond. This will include fish, plants,
lights, streams etc. This can change the definition of what the average pond
costs.</span><br />

This weeks Waterfall Wednesday feature is the focal point of this large Groveland, Fl courtyard.<br />
Guest are drawn to cross the custom built bridge and are often stopping as they cross to interact with the koi swimming about. You get the feeling of being closed off from the world as you sit and relax at this pond.<br />

Just think no grass to mow in this area.<br />

Big boulders were used to add character as well as to add scale and dimension to the waterfall, we didn't want it to "get lost" up against the courtyard wall.<br />
<br />
<br />
Several upgrades were added to this pond oasis to reduce time and maintenance for the home owners.<br />
2 waterfall Biofalls were added for additional flow and filtration. An Iongen system was added to reduce the amount of algae growth on the rocks. Aeration was added to increase oxygen levels in the pond.<br />
Upgraded lighting was added both inside and outside the pond.<br />
2 pumps were installed to give maximum flow over the falls, and a UV system was installed in insure clear water at all times.<br />
<br />

<br />
The pond looks and sounds amazing.<br />
Due to the location of the pond being in the courtyard, the walls "trap" the sound inside. <br />
When the windows are open the sound travels through the entire home.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We Love Water Features<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> in Central Florida for many reasons however here are <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">a few.</span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Environmental sustainability is very important in Central Florida today, and
water plays an important role as the world's greatest resource. An Ecosystem
Pond is self-sustaining with very little maintenance. Although it takes many
gallons of water to fill initially, over the long haul it requires less water
than the expanse of lawn it replaced. This by it's self is a great reason why we love water features. No more dry grass or expensive irrigation bill.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
One of the cool reasons we love water features is they attract wildlife of all
kinds, from birds to butterflies, to frogs and snails. Certified wildlife
habitats are growing in popularity, and water is one of the elements required
to achieve certification. Water gardening becomes your new hobby as you feel
yourself drawn to its beauty and natural elements.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Finally, we love water features because a pond provides opportunity to have fish as pets, without the mess and
maintenance of an aquarium. Aquatic plants give you the chance to broaden your
gardening horizons with choices that go beyond the standard petunia and rose.
In addition, bird lovers will delight in the new variety of feathered friends
that flock to a water feature. Nature lovers simply can't go wrong with water
features added to their Florida landscape.<br />

Yes, In Central Florida ponds run all year unlike our neighbors to the north, so we have to make sure that we are servicing them year round.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>How Often Should I service my pump?</b><br />
<br />
We suggest that you check the pump intake at least once a month. If you see a reduction in flow over the waterfalls or if you hear the pump making noises service right away.<br />
<br />
When it comes to pond pumps, it's always a good idea to be proactive
and stay on top of maintenance so you can prevent problems before they
happen. Every pond owner knows that a broken, non-working pump can
create a headache with water quality and fish health, so use these tips
to prolong the life of your pump.<br />
<ul>
<li>Do not allow the filters to
become clogged with debris and sediment. Conduct weekly skimmer cleanings and
seasonal maintenance. </li>
<li>Keep
water flowing freely to the pump by routinely cleaning the skimmer
debris net and filter mat. Be sure to maintain proper water level in the
water feature. Avoid allowing the pump to run dry or operate in low
water level situations.</li>
<li>Inspect and remove large debris, such as
mulch, sticks, small pebbles, etc from the bottom of the Skimmer,
Snorkel™ Vault, or sump basin in order to prevent the pump from becoming
clogged and possibly damaged.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<b>If you are experiencing pump issues, follow these tips to troubleshoot common pump problems.</b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>First
of all, is the pump receiving water? This sounds like an obvious
question, but we have had clients call and state that their pump is not
working only to find that they haven't added water to the pond in the
past few weeks and the skimmer ran dry. The pump in this situation may
actually be running, but just not receiving enough water. A lot of times
you can actually hear the "hum" or "gurgle" of the pump while it's in
the skimmer.</li>
<li>Make sure nothing is blocking the flow of water to
the pump, such as large boulders, debris blocking the front of the
skimmer opening, a clogged skimmer net, or clogged skimmer filter mat
that has not been emptied or cleaned in a long time.</li>
<li>The pump
may be vapor locked. This term sounds complicated, but it simply means
that air is trapped in the volute of the pump. The pumps are designed to
push water, not air ... so an air bubble gets trapped, and the pump
becomes vapor locked. In this situation the impeller is basically
spinning, but water is not being pushed. Listen to see if you hear the
hum of the pump. A vapor lock can be fixed by tilting the pump to allow
the air to escape from the intake. You may even be able to accomplish
this without disconnecting the fitting on pump.</li>
<li>It is also
effective to check and see if the electrical supply is operating
properly. Premature pump failures can occur due to faulty electrical.
For example, pumps hooked up to extension cords may cause potential
problems. While this electrical setup usually works for testing the pump
soon after the water feature is built, it is not recommended for
permanent installations, and may end up causing the pump to fail.</li>
<li>Check
the electric box to see if the safety breaker on the ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI) has tripped. The proper electrical setup for
the pond should include a GFCI outlet. The GFCI's responsibility is to
shut the power down if it senses an electrical problem.The GFCI is a
safety device installed to protect people from receiving a shock in case
of an electrical malfunction. GFCI's are very sensitive and can
sometimes trip during a thunderstorm or a power surge. Reset the breaker if it has tripped.</li>
<li>Unplug the pump and disconnect the union
fitting found at the top of the check valve. The water will back-flush
from the BIOFALLS® back into the skimmer. This will help flush out any
possible clogs along the length of the pipe.</li>
<li>Pull the pump out
of the skimmer and inspect the intake on the pump for any lodged debris.
Aquascape pumps are capable of handling solids and debris up to a
reasonable size, typically 5/8". On some occasions, debris may become
lodged in the impeller (housing) of the pump. This could possibly seize
up the impeller, or restrict the flow causing the pump to stop operating
properly. Thoroughly check the pump intake, including the area above
the impeller where small debris, such as gravel, may be trapped. </li>
<li>Plug in the pump after inspecting it for debris, and see if the impeller spins.</li>
<li>If
the impeller does not spin, unplug the pump and try to assist it by
using a screwdriver or similar tool to give it a little kick start. On
some occasions, the impeller may seize up and not spin. This sometimes
happens after the pump has been out of operation for a period of time
(such as over the winter). Hopefully, the pump will then begin to
operate after it is plugged back in. Once it starts back up on its own,
you'll want to unplug the pump again, wait a few seconds, and plug it
back in. The impeller should begin to spin without assistance this time.</li>
<li>If
you still have no luck, bring the pump over to a different electrical
receptacle on the property, specifically one that contains a GFCI
breaker, and see if the pump operates. This will tell us if the pond's
electrical supply is bad, or if there is something internally wrong with
the pump. If the pump trips this GFCI, then there is definitely
something wrong with the pump, and it should be replaced. However, you'll want to have a qualified electrician come out and check
the pond's electrical setup if the pump runs without a problem on
another outlet. </li>
