PUMPS:

Moving water adds life to any garden. From the grand scale of an eye-catching curtain waterfall (above), to simpler, gentle cascades and waterspouts. Soothing splashes and reflective ripples enhance the sights and sounds of water.

We have designed all sizes of feature from roaring cascades to winding streams, and from tall geysers to bubbling fountains. Pumps are carefully matched to give reliable and efficient performance.

POND FILTERS:

The ideal pond is clear and lucid, with crisp reflections and transparent depth. With careful siting, design and planting, many pools can achieve this appearance for much of the year with only routine maintenance.

In more challenging situations (e.g. where there are greater stocks of fish), an appropriate filter system will ensure clean and healthy water.

The larger model shown above is for medium to large ponds. It can be sited some distance from the pond to help conceal it. The automated mesh screen strains large solids from the water, and reduces the frequency of cleaning required for the biological filter cartridges sited below.

For the smallest water features we specify a smaller, submersible, all-in-one unit that can be hidden unobtrusively in the pond. Various other units are available for ponds of intermediate size.

On specialist koi ponds where the highest quality water is required we specify appropriate drum-screen, sieve, bead and/or moving-media filter units to suit. We use ancillary equipment too, such as UV units for green water control, surface skimmers for sparkling reflections, air-pumps for additional aeration and circulation, and cartridge filtration of top-up water to remove chlorine and contaminants.

PLANT FILTER BEDS:

On the largest ponds we specialise in the design of natural plant-filter beds. The one retro-fitted to the 130,000 litre pond above, overcame the previous cloudy water problems and improved the health of the water for the substantial collection of koi. This is often a lower maintenance option compared to using multiple ‘off the shelf’ filter units.

We design filter beds to match individual ponds, using a combination of specialist aggregates, specific flow rates, sediment removal facilities, and selected water plants, to purify the water and give reliable long-term results. On koi ponds we supplement with UV units where appropriate.

SWIMMING PONDS:

This 1.5 million litre swimming pond was recently installed and planted, using techniques originally developed in Germany and Austria. Carefully chosen aggregates, flow rates, and planting, play their part in keeping the water crystal clear, whilst enhancing biodiversity.
