The decision to build a pond on your summer cottage is accompanied by the need to purchase and install special equipment.
Owners of plots where artificial ponds and reservoirs are installed often want to liven up the appearance of the reservoir and install a fountain or alpine slide. Today you can find many interesting options, in addition to the standard sea creatures releasing streams of water from their mouths, you just need to spend a little valuable time and approach the search with imagination.
But in order for the pond to look natural and please the eye with a clean, mirror-like surface of water, it is necessary to install special equipment. Equipment that regulates oxygen content, algae growth and water purity includes the following: aeration, filters and pumps.
It is very important to filter the water in the pond and reservoir, since the garden pond reacts to all environmental influences. The natural balance of the pond is disturbed by fallen leaves of trees, pollen of flowering plants and other contaminants.
When talking about aerators, it is important to emphasize that they are primarily needed by aquatic inhabitants (fish and plants).
In addition to aerators, pumps and water filter systems, additional equipment is installed for the pond, which mainly performs a decorative function. For example, underwater lighting. Underwater lighting can decorate your site in a unique way, which is especially noticeable in the dark. Having installed the lighting, you will no longer be able to imagine the site without the wonderful light shining through the mirror surface of the water.
Building a pond on your site is a wonderful solution. In order for the pleasant impression not to be overshadowed by the difficult choice of special equipment, it is better to seek help from professionals.
