As of 2009 Algreen Products in Cambridge Ontario is introducing their new and improved line of Maxflo waterfall pumps. By combining changes to the pumps impellor design to increase strength, and pump testing at their state of the art testing facility, these pumps are now stronger and more reliable than ever. New this year, Algreen constructed a 500 gallon test tank in their warehouse to test pumps and filters for reliability and durability. This testing process ensures only the highest quality products are being sold to the customer. All products have been passing and exceeding quality standards and there is a buzz around the Algreen office in anticipation for the upcoming water gardening season. The MaxFlo line of pumps is based on a magnet driven motor which cuts down on overall power usage and allows for extended life and maximum durability. Often referred to as a work horse these pumps are best known for their sheer power. With GPH ratings ranging from 1500 – 6500 for the price, these pumps are in a class of their own. The pumps design gives the pond owner the option of placing the pump vertically or horizontally for increased customization when deciding where to place the pump. Further features include a filter grid, vortex impeller, barbed fitting for various sized tubing, and a 2 year warranty. The pump is the heart of your pond and without it you will run into major problems such as: stagnant water, smelly water, mosquito breeding, and discolored water. One of the largest considerations when purchasing <a onClick=”javascript:pageTracker. _trackPageview(‘/outgoing/article_exit_link’);” href=”http://www. gardensupermart. com/store/pond-pumps. php”>pond pumps</a> is the GPH rating of the pump (gallons per hour) The GPH of your pump needs to be at least half the total gallons of your pond. For example if your pond is 2000 gallons you will need a pump that has a GPH rating of at least 1000. This ratio is vital because a pump needs to circulate the water in the pond once every 2 hours. An even larger GPH rating is needed if you wish to add waterfalls, streams, or fish. Consult a professional resource or the pumps manufacturer if you should have any questions about the pump you buy. Algreen Maxflo pumps are available at most major home and garden retailers including: Home Depot, RONA, TSC Stores, Reno Depot, various garden centers, and online retailers such as gardensupermart. com For further information please feel free to visit Algreenproducts. com or call 1-800-984-9933.

Pond Filter Kits With Pump – UNO POND FILTER KIT

Landscaping your lawn could entail a number of things. It could be as simplistic as having several plants and shrubs surrounded by various rocks and woodchips or even a water garden complete with fountains and flowers. The largest, most elaborate form of landscaping is a Koi pond.

A Koi pond is a project that will require a large surface area, and even more research. This illustrious landscape is very stimulating, but also may require some work when the changing of the seasons occurs.

Once the weather breaks and the leaves appear to be changing colors, it is generally a excellent thought to install netting over the Koi pond to eliminate the amount of leaves and sticks that will land in the Koi habitat. This will drastically lower the amount of debris to be removed at seasons end. Another precaution that should be taken during the break of the weather is winterizing the Koi pond.

In winterizing the fish habitat requires several pieces of advice. One of the most vital steps to take into account is the cleaning process. It is wise to physically take the fish out of the pond, place them into a bucket full of the water in the pond, and clean the excess bacteria from the pond. But, completely removing all the bacteria will ruin the harmony of the pond through the summer months; the plants feed off the bacteria while the fish feed off the plants. Other things that need to be removed are the remaining leaves and sticks that were not caught by the netting. Failure of removing these materials will result in creation of methane gas, a byproduct of the decomposing that will occur. Lowering the amount of water will allow the pump to circulate water, allowing the fish to survive below the level of ice that accumulates in the cold weather. Another tip worth perusing is to make a hole in the ice when the winter season approaches. Do not use force when attempting to make a hole. The best method for this is to place a pot filled with boiling water over the ice to allow a hole to be melted into the ice. This will allow the gases that accumulate in the pond to escape.

The largest problem that occurs with the overall presence of the Koi pond is mobility throughout the surrounding area of the piece. Installing a bride over the center or an area of interest will serve a dual purpose. The practical purpose for this landmark is to be able to cross over the pond to access other parts of the yard or landscape. On the other hand, the second purpose of building a bridge is to make the effect of vastness and attractiveness. Bridges can come in a variety of styles with according costs.

Product DescriptionA solar fountain pump allows you to power your garden or pond fountain using solar or AC current and so you can delight in it day and night. But when direct sunlight is blocked by clouds or a shadow, the built-in battery back-up kicks-in to power the solar fountain pump instead for uninterrupted flow (see accompanying chart; click on “additional views”).
