Most pond problems can be prevented by proper pond construction, management, and maintenance. However, not all pond owners are lucky enough to have participated in the design and construction of their pond, or in its management and maintenance through the ponds entire history. Common pond problems include fish kills, undesirable fish, muddy water, pond leaks, and animal damage. Each of these problems has a solution that can put a pond back on track in almost every case. Ponds managed to provide good fishing need regular maintenance to prevent problems from developing. Minor pond related problems, can usually be dealt with as they arise. However, major problems like fish kills often require additional effort. Having a thorough understanding of the conditions that lead to problems can help in preventing them before they start.

It's Cheaper to Pipe Air than Electric:
No power near the pond? No problem. We have Remote Valve Box Systems allows installation of the cabinet wherever it is convenient.
Simply locate the system cabinet where you do have power and deliver the air as far as needed through 1" PVC pipe. At the shoreline of the pond simply install our Remote Valve Box to divide the air into separate airlines. This will save the thousands of dollars in unnecessary costs.
