What Your Fish Pond Liner Does for You

Anyone who has worked with backyard water gardens knows there are a variety of pond supplies that make these complex ecosystems tick. Although each of these pieces is important for the pond's overall function, it is the fish pond liner that really holds it all together.

Pond liners keep your backyard water garden functioning effectively - whether you have fish, plant life or both. They form the foundation of your pond, and they are responsible for keeping all the elements of your pond in place from season to season.

Because fish pond liners are responsible for so much, it makes sense that they need to be made from a durable material that can withstand just about anything. Your pond liner needs to:

• Stay in place in freezing cold temperatures and incredibly hot ones
• Remain strong against sharp objects that threaten to put holes or tears in it
• Form a durable layer to contain your pond's water
• Be free of algaecides and fire retardants, safe for fish and plant life and easy to install

As you can see, fish pond liners have a lot of big responsibilities. That's why it's important that you purchase a quality product and perform regular maintenance to help it stay in top condition for years to come.

There are two main types of pond liners you want to consider: PVC pond liners and EPDM pond liners. Both are safe for fish and designed to be extremely long lasting. Each one has different characteristics that make it attractive for pond owners. But if you purchase either of these types of liners from Pondliner. com, you can rest assured that you are getting a top-quality product that will last for many seasons.

Help Your Fish Weather The Cold With a Garden Pond Heater

The weather outside is certainly turning frightful for many areas across the country. Winter is officially here, folks, and for those of you who have backyard water gardens, this is a critical time of year.

Fish ponds are designed to survive in the outdoors all year long, but in the coldest temperatures they may need extra help that Mother Nature can't provide. If you live in an area of the country that doesn't reach extremely cold temperatures, you won't have to worry about your pond life freezing to death.

However, if you battle months of brutal winter weather, you need to make sure your fish and other pond life have the supplies they need to survive.

When stocking up on winter pond supplies, one of the most important things to purchase is a garden pond heater.

How Does a Garden Pond Heater Help My Pond Life Survive the Cold?

Once a pond is frozen over, the healthy exchange of gases that normally occurs between your pond's water and the air around it is eliminated. Toxic gases produced by your fish and plant life then have the opportunity to build up in the water and become harmful.

However, garden pond heaters, also known as pond de-icers, are designed to create a small hole in your pond's ice that allows toxic chemicals to escape the water. A garden pond heater will not remove an entire sheet of ice from your pond's surface, but it doesn't need to. As long as there is a small hole in the ice, gases can be exchanged and your pond life will not suffer.

Pondliner.com carries a variety of different garden pond heaters to meet your needs. Some float on the surface of your water while others are designed to be submerged. Browse our available products to find the model that will work best for your pond.

As always, if you have any questions about keeping your pond healthy throughout the winter, please contact one of our friendly and knowledgeable pond supplies experts.
