It is not only private individuals who enjoy their garden pond every day. Nowadays, managers in a wide variety of companies have also recognized the many benefits of a well-kept garden pond on the company premises.
For company visitors and guests, the company's own biotope is not only a surprising eye-catcher. It also clearly demonstrates a positive attitude towards nature and the environment.
Employees also benefit from the relaxing atmosphere created by a pond during their breaks. Especially when a wide variety of plants and creatures have settled in, on and around the water.
This is also the reason why there is always something new to discover at a pond every day.
Unfortunately, too many people are still of the opinion that a pond in the garden is too complex, too complicated and too expensive. They are also convinced that a proper pond requires a very large garden.
We will convince you otherwise and show you how quick and easy it is to create a pond and what pond technology you need to operate it.
Creating a garden pond is easier than many people think. Even if you only have a small garden area available.
If you work with a pond liner, you can design the shape of the pond flexibly and make optimum use of the space. Or you can opt for the advantages of a pond basin.
But these are not the only points that are important when planning your pond.
Natural ponds that are fed by a spring always have clear water. In garden ponds, plants and microorganisms ensure clean water.
However, strong sunlight, high temperatures and a large fish population can easily upset the biological balance.
This is why highly efficient filters with clever pond technology and UVC clarifiers ensure the best water quality.
Pond pumps are pumping specialists that do their job silently and out of sight.
As submersible pumps at the bottom of the pond or well hidden in a technical shaft, pumps ensure that pond filters, spring stones, fountains or even streams are supplied with the required amount of pond water.
It is important that the pumps work effectively and have a low energy requirement.
Garden ponds are often stocked with fish, some of which are valuable.
There is nothing wrong with this if there is enough space and the water quality is right. This also includes the oxygen content of the water.
However, this can become critical, especially on hot summer days. This is because the oxygen saturation of the pond water decreases as the water temperature rises.
However, you can quickly remedy this with a pond aerator.
A solar-powered fountain in the garden pond offers several advantages.
The fountain is pretty to look at and the pleasant sound of the rippling water is very relaxing. But that's not all!
The water feature also significantly increases the oxygen content of the pond water.
And as the power supply is provided by a solar module, installation is very simple and there are no ongoing operating costs.
With the help of pond lighting, you can create a beautiful ambience for your pond. You can choose between many different options. Whether lighting for the edge of the pond, floating lighting or underwater lighting - you set the lighting highlights according to your ideas.
Emphasize the most beautiful objects in and around your pond. You can vary the light from ground lights and spotlights as you wish. LED pond lighting is very well suited for use on and under water.
Yes, it is true that a garden pond needs to be maintained. But for people who own a pond, the work involved is not a chore.
They are more like hobby activities that people enjoy doing. That's why so many garden pond enthusiasts can hardly wait for spring.
Because when the first warm rays of sunshine awaken life in the pond after winter, it's not work that begins for them, but the best time of the year.
Anyone who offers too much food to ornamental fish in the pond may mean well, but is acting irresponsibly.
Excessive food intake can quickly lead to digestive problems in fish. In addition, excess food produces toxic decomposition products when it decomposes.
A fish feeder, on the other hand, always provides the right amount of food. Even if you cannot take care of feeding your pond inhabitants yourself.
