New products to ponder

Written on .

Eric Wood gave an informative talk about the leading edge of water garden equipment at the TAWGS March 21 meeting.
New items that he talked about were:
  • Pondbuilder Corner Falls, which fits snuggly into any corner and the Pondbuilder 20" mini cascade falls
  • Oasis series pump vault and fastfalls
  • Eco-Rise water feature riser. The extremely strong radial structure handles the weight of heavier statuary, vases and columns.
  • Pondbuilder fountain basins with easy pump access
  • Artificial rock bubbling features which are less expensive than real rock. Available from Kip Walker, Jackson Greenhouse, Serentity Water Gardens (formerly Hericks)
  • Atlantic colorfalls
  • Electronic clarifier & algae control system called IonMate, which will safely and effectively eliminate algae, resulting in less maintenance and provide crystal clear water.
  • Replacement LED lamps for landscape fixtures.
Eric said that most of these items can be found on their website: completeaquatics.com. He did warn members though, that the prices of pond equipment have jumped dramatically. Most raised about 25%.
