Koi Pond Aeration

Getting the proper amount of oxygen into your pond water is vital when it comes to the overall health of your Koi.

Rubber Water Stop
These rubber stops span the gap between successive concrete pours with a rubber material that acts like a gasket. These stops can be seen in many different types of concrete containers, from your Koi pond to your local zoo’s polar bear exhibit.

Koi Pond Filters
Usually it takes a combination of several different types of filters to provide the best filtration for our Koi pond.

Catch Basins
Water that is upstream in your pond will naturally flow toward the lowest point in the system when you turn off the water pump. Catch basins provide a place for this water to go which prevents flooding and other unfortunate consequences.

Building a Biological Filter for the Koi Pond
Having different sections of a filter designated to perform different tasks will give you the best overall filtration of your pond.

Concrete Testing
Concrete is the material of choice for almost all high quality water features, including city water systems, swimming pools, and Koi ponds. It is helpful to know, however, that different types of concrete offer different levels of durability.

Water Garden Pumps
The water garden that were built in Japan centuries ago are still the most well known today. They usually consist of streams or canals that feed clay lined ponds. Of course this arrangement would not be practical or possible in most of the backyards of today. Your pond will most likely need to be a self contained unit with pumps and filters.
