Western Water Works & Landscaping: Water Features

1
Skimmer: Low maintenance, user friendly design. The only
skimmer available with overflow design. Has a horizontal
filter pad and an accurate pond level fill valve which will
automatically activate when the pond level gets too low.

2
Plant pockets: Promotes health in plant development by
allowing the roots to spread through surrounding
gravel, unlike containerized plants, which can quickly
become root-bound.

3
Underlayment: A woven needle punched underlayment
forms a soft padding for the liner. Unlike newspapers,
its quick to install. Unlike sand it completely covers the
vertical areas of the pond shelves, and unlike carpet
padding, it allows gases to escape out the sides while
looking more professional.

4
Liner: A strong 45 mil EPDM liner is the best choice for
most pond installations. Unlike concrete, its easy and
inexpensive to install and won't crack. When covered with
stone it has a 40 year life expectancy. If a leak were ever
to occur, a simple inner-tube patch kit can make it as good
as new.

5
Fish: Fish, like Koi and goldfish can be successfully kept
and even bred, in water that is only 2 feet deep as far
north as zone 4 (MN)

6
Rocks and Gravel: Adding rocks and gravel to the pond
solves many traditional pond problems and reduces pond
maintenance. Gravel, unlike a smooth pond liner, provides
surface area for bacteria to colonize. fish waste and
other organic matter that settles to the pond bottom
gets broken down by the bacteria living there. Anaerobic
sludge is decreased naturally the way nature intended it.

7
Biofalls: A revolutionary pond filtration system. When
installed it becomes a waterfall that has a molded shelf
allowing for easy stone placement that completely
camouflages the unit. High density polyethylene
construction is firm but flexes during freeze - thaw cycles
or shifting Earth. It will never crack.
