Using the data collected from these tests, the Hydro Vortex™ filter's design was "tweaked and re-tweaked" until it functioned flawlessly in every test water feature - including through a winter freeze. The filter could be installed without special tools and was tested with multiple methods of cleaning the filter including manually with a garden hose, or self-cleaning with a pipe and valve system - whatever the method of backwashing, the media could be cleaned without having to be removed from the filter. Unlike the "pad-&-media-bag" filter on the market that required addition media, the Hydro Vortex™ comes standard with all the required media. All hardware is solid Stainless Steel and Brass to eliminate failure due to corrosion.
With the success of the first Hydro Vortex™ filter - which later became the "Marlin", a smaller version, the "Ahi", and a larger version, the "Dolphin" were released. Sales exploded and several times exceeded production.

With the success of the Easy to Clean Hydro Vortex™ program, customers began asking for improvements in pond skimmers, bead filters, pumps, lighting, and water treatments.

This led to the research and development, testing, and introduction of HydroClean™ pond skimmers, HydroBead Vortex™ pressurized bead filters, and the entire "Hydro" line of products. Each new product is designed for easy installation, easy maintenance and servicing, and reliable performance. Every product is tested at Russell Watergardens Flagship Store displays to ensure quality in a variety of weather conditions.
Russell Watergardens retail/wholesale store and corporate web site www.russellwatergardens.com have become recognized as destinations for high quality products and service coupled with exceptional information, education, and customer service. So when Russell Watergardens prepared for the "next step", which was growing nationally, a new and improved distribution model need to be created.
