Keeping Your Pond Clean Just Became More Affordable

Whether you are a pond enthusiast or are in the process of building your first backyard water garden, you understand the importance of keeping your pond water clean, clear and healthy.

If you have koi or goldfish in your pond, they are continually eating and producing waste that can quickly build up and cause problems. In addition, debris from the air and surrounding trees and plants can accumulate and really clog up your ecosystem.

Thankfully, by purchasing the right pond supplies and performing regular maintenance, you have the resources you need to keep these problems under control. Pondliner is currently running promotions on three of our products that are specifically designed to keep your pond water clean.

Are You Taking Full Advantage of Your Backyard Pond?

Summer is the perfect time to get the most out of your pond. Whether it’s a traditional water garden, a koi pond or a disappearing waterfall, warm weather practically begs you to sit outside and enjoy your creation.

Some people make the mistake of building their pond and then basically forgetting about it. They never alter its design and rarely gather around it. In fact, they pretty much ignore it unless the water needs to be cleaned or a rock has come loose.

Avoid this all-too-common mistake by adopting some of our great ideas for how to make the most out of your backyard pond this summer:

• Have a barbecue. Everyone enjoys grilling out, so have your friends over for a backyard BBQ. That way you’ll spend time in the yard and people can enjoy the beautiful pond you’ve created.

• Host a bonfire. Nighttime can be a great time to admire your pond. Have a bonfire in your backyard so people can sit around long after the sun goes down. This can be a great opportunity to use those new pond lights you purchased, too.

• Set up a seating area around your pond. When setting up your backyard, you want to create seating areas just like you do inside your home. Make sure one of these areas is near your pond to encourage family and friends to sit by it and enjoy its soothing sounds, beautiful colors and lively ecosystem.

• Switch things up. One of the best ways to keep yourself interested in your pond is by changing it up once a season. And these changes don’t have to be drastic. By simply adding a few new plants, rearranging some rocks or changing the type of fish you have, you can keep things interesting season after season.

• Purchase new pond supplies. It can be as simple as a new accent piece, or as complex as an entirely new water feature. No matter how extravagant or simple you decide to go, purchasing new pond supplies is a great way to get yourself excited about your water garden.

This list is only the beginning. Use it to spark your imagination as you come up with new and exciting ways to take advantage of your backyard water garden. And don’t forget to submit pictures of your creations! Our pond gallery is bursting with pictures from customers who have created some truly fantastic ponds. Add yours to the collection today.

Save Money on Clarifying Pond Supplies: Take Advantage of Great Discounts

When you look at your backyard water garden the number one thing you want to see is crystal clear water. You can have the prettiest plants and most exotic fish in the world, but if the water is murky, you won’t be able to appreciate them.

There are lots of great pond supplies out there that work together to help your pond water stay as clean and clear as possible. Pondliner is currently running the following promotions on two of them:

• ProEco Ionizers – 15% off
• CrystalClear Clarity Max Plus – 20% off

From now until June 22^nd you can save on both of these items. In case you aren’t sure what either one is responsible for doing, I’ll go into a little more detail:

• ProEco Ionizers are appliances that electronically release metal ions into your pond’s water. This process is known as ionization, and is dramatically reduces the amount of maintenance you have to do to keep the water clean. By controlling and altering the ion levels in the water you can reduce the amount of algae that grows and keep your fish swimming in clearer, healthier water.

• CrystalClear Clarity Max Plus is filter media that works to clarify your pond water by reducing the amount of sludge that builds up in the pond filter. This particular brand contains activated barley which is designed to break down organic material and restore balance to your pond’s ecosystem. It combines the natural degrading powers of barley with strong bacteria and enzyme colonies. These filter media help your pond to grow beneficial bacteria that helps it thrive.

Remember, you can only save on these items until June 22^nd, so be sure to buy soon. If you have additional questions about these clarifying pond supplies, or if you’d like more information, feel free to contact one of our experts today.
