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 sediment gets blown out of the chamber via an air pump before the backwash cycle is done.
Once your Koi Pond Design Services are completed it needs to be maintained,
Why is Koi Pond 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 control protein waste and ammonia levels, you must rely on effective biological filtration and ultraviolet clarifiers. These systems work together to remove harmful substances and maintain stable water quality. A weekly 10% water change plays a vital role in diluting pollutants and supporting a healthy pond environment. Removing debris from the pond floor is equally important, as waste buildup creates ideal breeding conditions for parasites.
Never assume that clear water means healthy water. Clear water only indicates that the filtration system functions correctly. Many pond owners mistakenly believe that clear water eliminates the need for backwashing. This belief is incorrect. Any waste trapped in the sand filter must be fully removed and discharged to waste. During backwashing, you must stir the sand and repeat the process two to three times to ensure the filter media remains clean and effective.
