Once you build a pond it is for life, so it is extremely important to get your design right. Aquatic Creations uses bead filter material not sand, which means you don’t have to stir the sand every time you backwash. The filter system works from the bottom up as all the beads float to the top.  The dirt sedement gets blown out of the chamber via an air pump before the backwash cycle is done.

Once your Koi Pond Construction is completed it needs to be maintained,

Why is Koi Pond cleaning services and maintenance important?

Water maintenance is what all Koi keepers are striving for, not looking after the Koi. Koi look after themselves, if the water is maintained properly. All you have to do is feed them correctly. Do not over feed and do not feed if water temperature is less than 10 degrees Celsius. Koi food that is not eaten breaks up in the water and becomes protein in the water same as there excrement. About 35% of the food is not digested. The second problem is ammonia in the water caused by koi urinating in the water.

To address protein and ammonia you need Bio Filtration and Ultra Violet Clarifiers. A 10% water change per week is absolutely necessary to assists with removing the above mentioned. Getting rid of debris on the pond floor is also necessary to avoid breeding places for parasites. Never think that when you have clear water you have healthy water. Most people think that when there water is clear, they do not have to backwash, NO, NO, NO… When your water is clear it only means that you are filtering correctly. Whatever you are capturing in the Sand Filter must be removed in its entirety to waist. When backwashing you must stir the sand and backwash two to three times to ensure the sand media is clean.

Services include checking ph balance of water, backwashing pond; adding salt (where necessary), checking and stirring of sand, filters and UV lights, as well as ensuring pumps and thermostats are in good working order. Additives like koi salt and bio boost are extra, but this cost is minimal. An average of 20-60 minutes per week is spent maintaining the water ensuring hassle free, clean and healthy ponds can be enjoyed by fish lovers, depending on Pond size.
