Our in-store customers enjoy, and are excited about the capability of seeing and touching real "working" pond and water feature systems and products in action - rather than trying to visualize them simply from photos or text from a catalog or web site. Our on-line customers appreciate the fact that we are a real store with real people to help you and real inventory in stock. We're not just an on-line "virtual store" - we are a destination store with real people here to give you real help.
Our friendly, professional Customer Service Associates happily explain how equipment functions and why they're used. We have beautiful working water feature displays to show you "first-hand" how all the components work together - and most important - how you clean and maintain them. One thing that many people forget to think about when considering a water feature is: "How do you clean it?". All of us here at Russell Watergardens are committed to providing 
you with the easiest to clean systems on the market. After all, a water feature is only as beautiful as it can be maintained. An easy to clean pond or water feature is a beautiful pond or water feature. Beautiful pond and water features have happy owners - and happy owners are the priority at Russell Watergardens. Our exciting store format facilitates learning, provides pleasure, and stimulates your passion for water features.
People of all ages enjoy feeding our huge collection of Japanese Koi and pond fish. There's nothing quite like the feeling you get from feeding a bunch of lovable, friendly Japanese Koi. Many of our customers stroll the grounds for inspiration, or just come by and sit for a relaxing moment near a pond and waterfall.
The next time you have a hectic, stressful day - simply come to a Russell Watergardens store near you and sit next to one of our ponds for 30 minutes and "fish watch". The beauty of our ponds with their incredible blooming aquatic plants, relaxing waterfall sounds, and playful Koi and pond fish swimming about have been said by many to be natural stress relief. Come and see pondless waterfalls, water gardens, Koi ponds, Hybrid Ponds™, HydroRock™ column features, bubblers, fountains, streams, and more!

Russell Watergardens is also your Koi,
Pond Fish, Fish Food, Fish Pharmacy, and
Water Plant Destination
Russell Watergardens stocks thousands of water plants. Typically, more volume and species than you'll find anywhere else. Choose from hundreds of different varieties of hardy and tropical water lilies, marginals, bog, oxygenators, and floaters. Nothing "finishes" the look of a pond or water feature quite like water plants. They are actually more than just pretty to gaze upon, they feed off the same nutrients that would otherwise feed algae. Water plants are part of a natural approach to balancing aquatic ecosystems and naturally beautifying water features.
Not only does Russell Watergardens stock a huge selection of water plants, we also stock aquatic plant food, aquatic plant soil, and aquatic plant baskets for growing water plants in Hybrid Ponds™ and Water Garden Ponds. Our friendly Customer Service Associates will help you decide which plants will work best in your water feature. We also assemble water plant "packages" for busy waterscaping contractors. In one stop, contractors can pick up a pond system including water plants. This saves valuable time.
Russell Watergardens is proud to be partners with the Kodama Koi Farm. Together, we bring you the highest quality Nishikigoi (Koi) from the finest breeders in Niigata Japan. We stock a huge variety of Koi in all size and price ranges. All our Koi are fully quarantined in both Hawaii at the Kodama Koi Farm, and in our stores. This assures you that you'll be acquiring healthy, disease-free Koi.
The Russell Watergardens/Kodama Koi Farm partnership is the world's first partnership of its kind - a "hardware/software" relationship. You receive the highest quality, easy to clean filtration systems and the most beautiful, healthy Koi in one fun and educational store!

Innovators of Systems and Technology
Russell Watergardens is internationally recognized as the creator of the "Original" pondless waterfalls shown in the photo here on the right. This photo, taken by Russell Watergardens staff photographers, is credited with sparking the pondless waterfall craze around the world. Russell Watergardens' Hydro-pondless Waterfalls are the EASIEST TO CLEAN pondless waterfalls on the market, and can be made with or without streams and as high, or as wide as your imagination. You can build a Hydro-pondless waterfall with as many individual waterfalls as you desire.
Hydro-pondless Waterfall Systems are completely customizable to fit whatever design you can imagine. Our Hydro-pondless Waterfall Kits are the only pondless waterfall systems in the world that come standard with a fully backwashable waterfall filter - a genuine Hydro Vortex™ waterfall filter. Why is that important?
When comparing pondless waterfall kits, or vanishing water systems ......you should ALWAYS ask ......
"How do I clean it?"
After all, you're the one who will have to clean it, or pay someone large sums of money to do it for you. A pondless waterfall designed with a fully backwashable Hydro Vortex™ waterfall filter lets you clean it, and all the rocks and gravel quickly, and easily. A pondless waterfall is only as beautiful as it can be maintained. Russell Watergardens' Hydro-pondless Waterfall Systems are the EASIEST TO CLEAN and maintain on the market.
Russell Watergardens, as recognized leaders of innovation, is also internationally credited with inventing the Hybrid Pond™ design concept and Hybrid Pond™ Filtration Systems. Russell Watergardens created the Hybrid Pond™ concept for easier maintenance and cleaning for healthier Koi keeping than the very popular Water Garden Ponds.
Russell Watergardens' exclusive Hybrid Pond™ combines the best of Koi ponds and water garden ponds into a stunningly beautiful, EASY TO CLEAN pond that is a healthier environment for Koi keeping than water garden ponds - but much more aesthetically attractive than traditional Koi ponds. Our Hybrid Ponds™ feature decorative boulders, but no gravel. Hybrid Ponds™ feature aquatic plants for nitrate absorption, but they are grown in aquatic plant baskets. Our Hybrid Ponds™ feature both a HydroClean™ pond skimmer and a bottom drain for maximum waste removal. HydroAir™ aeration systems are included to increase dissolved oxygen levels and promote increased submerged circulation. HydroUV™ clarifiers are included to aid in water clarity and they're plumbed to submerged water jets to increase submerged water circulation. The Hybrid Pond™ is also designed with minimum 3' depths with "straight down sides" and only one perimeter plant shelf to help protect fish from predators. Our Hybrid Pond™ has a smooth, "bare-liner" bottom sloped towards the bottom drain to facilitate bottom debris removal and to prevent toxic detritus build up. At the heart of a Hybrid Pond™ is either a fully backwashable Hydro Vortex™ biological waterfall filter or fully backwashable Hydro Bead Vortex™ biological pressure filter - or a combination of the two.
A Russell Watergardens' Hybrid Pond™ never has to be drained or dismantled for cleaning. Simply backwash the Hydro Vortex™ or Hydro Bead Vortex™ filter at least every 30 days, and clean the HydroClean™ pond skimmer elements at least every week. No messy filter pads to pressure wash, and no wasted water from draining the pond. No more costly "spring cleanouts".
Revolutionary Filter and Backflush System
Russell Watergarden's Hydro Vortex™ waterfall filters are the World's first and only completely backwashable waterfall filters designed specifically for efficient performance and easy cleaning. Hydro Vortex™ biological waterfall filters have the highest filtration capabilities of any brand of biological waterfall filter on the market, and are the easiest to clean! A Hydro Vortex™ filter on your pond means a cleaner pond. A cleaner pond means healthier fish.
Hydro Vortex™ filters are so easy to clean that they also keep pondless waterfalls clean like no other pondless waterfall system can. Easy to clean Hydro Vortex™ waterfall filters are included with every water garden pond kit, Hybrid Pond™ kit, and pondless waterfall kit we offer.
When comparing any brand of pond kit, or pondless waterfall kit - before you purchase ......always ask:
