Meron Ribbed Water & Fire Bowl

This custom double Bowl design utilized water as well as fire. The lower bowl measure 48” x 13.5” was custom built with an inside special stand to fit and hold a smaller Meron Ribbed bowl 24” x 8” for the fire. The Water & fire feature is decorating a residence in Orange County, CA, and was designed and built in cooperation with Royal Gecko Land Art.

This clever, yet classic looking set of custom bowls creates a stunning looking mixture of flames and water working together, and looks amazing especially during the evening with the lights shining on the water flowing from the water bowl. It was built to accommodate both gas line, water and lighting needs. This design can be utilized in different sizes, and bowl shape.

Hydropondless pre-filter and tank

Pondless system with pre-filter and tank for all types of pondless water features.

The biggest complaint end-users have with traditional pondless systems is cleaning the gravel and accessing the pump. Traditional pondless water features use gravel as the pre-filter, require a buried pump vault, water blocks, and basin liner with underlayment.

The Hydropondless system utilizes the HydroSieve pre-filter and the HydroChamber which is a pump vault and water storage tank. Both units are designed for remote placement away from the pondless water feature for a more attactive feature.

The HydroSieve traps leaves, needles, grass clippings, blossoms, and other debris in its filter basket for easy removal. The HydroChamber keeps the pump sumberged in 19” of water and has the capacity to hold 6.8 cubic feet of water (50.87 gallons) above the pump when the pondless system is turned off. Mulitple HydroChambers can be linked together for unlimited water storage.

The HydroChamber is features a 4” inlet nipple for easy connection to pipe, a 4” coupling nipple for multiple unit daisy chaining, two double female threaded 2” outlet ports for multiple pump applications, and a 1/2” double female threaded inlet port for an auto fill valve. It is thick walled, direct burial rotational molded plastic.

The HydroChamber can be used with submersible, or centrifugal pumps which gives the installer and end-user more options.

The HydroChamber eliminates the need for basin liner, basin underlayment, pump vault, water blocks, and basin gravel - and it allows for easy pump access.

The Hydropondless system allows end-users to clean their pondless system as easy as cleaning a pond skimmer. It can be used with pondless waterfalls, pondless streams, pondless rock columns, pondless fountains, and even pondless pools. The Hydropondless system easily attaches to rubber, concrete, gunite, and polyurea liners.

What ever the pondless design or materials, the Hydropondless cuts down on installation time, eliminates multiple products, provides for unlimited creativity, and gives the end-user the easiest to clean pondless system.

Mini Cascading Falls Kit

The Mini Cascading Falls Kit comes complete with everything necessary to create a 3’ pondless waterfall/streambed. It includes a 10” wide Cascade Waterfall Box, a Mini Pump Canyon, 1800gph Pump, Pump Discharge, Liner, Underliner, and a small basin matrix. This all comes complete in one four color box for only $698 MSRP. A Free video download is available to everyone that purchases the system.

This product is worthy of being product of the year because it has provided contractors a product they can sell and install during these tough economic conditions- and not break their customers bank. When the economy went sour it didn’t mean that people all of a sudden no longer desired water features…it simply meant that they didn’t have as much money to spend on a water feature. The Mini Cascading Falls kit offered those consumers an installed product for less than $1500 or only $698 if they installed it themselves. Take the $349 wholesale price + about $100 in rock + less than three hours install time and you’ve got yourself a beautiful pondless display. Many of our contractors have used this system as a marketing tool to attract customers that couldn’t afford larger systems and once the economy rebounds perhaps these smaller systems will influence larger more customized waterfall systems in the future!

Aquascape IonGen™

The Aquascape, Inc. IonGen™ is a water clarifier solution for ponds, Pondless® Waterfalls, and other decorative water features. The IonGen™ drastically reduces pond maintenance and provides crystal clear water without the use of chemicals. A microprocessor inside the IonGen™ control panel causes the outermost atoms of copper, silver, and zinc to lose an electron, creating a positive ion. The positive ion attempts to flow from one of the Probe’s bars to the other and is swept away by the flow of water where the ion can begin to treat the water. The IonGen™ Probe is self cleaning, using reverse polarity to prevent scale and debris build-up on the Probe’s bars. The metal alloys in the Probe are scientifically blended and tested to produce maximum results. The IonGen™ System is safe for fish and plants and is not toxic to any animals that may drink from the pond.

The main benefit of this revolutionary pond clarifier is that the IonGen™ drastically reduces pond maintenance for pond owners and is extremely easy to use and install. The IonGen™ is also highly efficient and costs less than one dollar per month in electricity cost. It’s completely safe for fish and plants.

Yellow Jacket Contractor Net Combo

Yellow Jacket Contractor Nets derive their distinctive name from the colorful combination of yellow fiberglass handles and black netting.

The Heavy Duty Contractor Net Set is a four-piece set that starts with a 6′ x 1″ yellow fiberglass handle which uses beefy aluminum connector blocks to attach the net head to the handle. In addition to being enormously strong, the connector blocks also offer rapid interchangeability of heads. The set comes with a handle and three heads fitted with connector blocks. The heads are built on a unique Monorail™ system which protects the netting while scraping over rough gravel or rock bottoms. The net set includes:

a) 18″ shallow Pro Koi Net with ¼″ black, knotless Ace nylon netting

b) 16″ x 16″ Pond Utility Net with white ¼″ knotless Ace nylon netting

c) 12″ x 15″ Triangle Skimmer Net with white ¼″ knotless Ace nylon netting

d) 6’ x 1” yellow fiberglass handle

Yellow Jacket Contractor Combo Net Sets are designed and manufactured specifically for the professional pond contractor. Yellow Jacket Contractor Nets are sturdily handcrafted from U.S.-made materials by Mid-Lakes Corp., a Knoxville, Tennessee, family-owned business which has been supplying rugged netting products to the commercial and sport fishing industries since 1965. These nets are available in both a heavy duty and an “extreme” configuration.

These nets were designed after extensive consultation with a number of pond contractors and other pond professionals. Mid-Lakes took this collective input, coupled it with four decades of net crafting experience, and built two contractor net model sets. These well-engineered and rugged nets are designed to last a lifetime of heavy use, with replacement netting being readily available and easily installed.

Loki contractor nets are the most durable and well-engineered pond nets on the market, as well as perhaps the only nets designed specifically for professional pond contractors.

Waste-Away

DrTim’s Aquatics Waste-Away is a novel mixture of beneficial microorganisms that were isolated from Koi ponds (not wastewater treatment plants), tested and cultured for their ability to breakdown particulate and dissolved organic material. Regular use of Waste-Away will result in clearer water, filter pads staying cleaner longer (reducing maintenance), and less time spent removing pond sludge. Waste-Away is 100% Natural with no chemicals, just beneficial bacteria that work to remove sludge and junk from the pond environment. Unlike other sludge removers Waste-Away will continue to work as water temperature drop because the bacteria in Waste-Away are optimized to work at normal pond temperature not at 98.4degF like those from sewage treatment plants. Therefore, Waste-Away is great for getting ponds ready for Winter and when Spring is coming.

Waste-Away is the result of the latest scientific research of Dr Timothy Hovanec not just someone else’s bacteria re-bottled like many other products. A unique product with strains isolated from our own Koi ponds, developed for pond keepers such ourselves, this product delivers real results.
