The Hybrid Pond™
Russell Technologies™, the recognized leader in innovative pond filtration systems, technology, and pond design concepts is the inventor and creator of both the Crossover Pond™, the Hybrid Pond™ design concepts, the Hybrid Pond™/Crossover Pond™ Filtration System, the Hybrid Pond™/Crossover Pond™ Kit, the revolutionary HydroFlush™ Backwash System, the advanced ElectroFlush™ Low Voltage Electronic Backwash System, and HydroCology™ Responsible Water Recycling Systems.
Thousands upon thousands of water garden ponds are constructed every year because of their unparalleled beauty in the landscape, but usually result in disastrous living conditions for the Koi that the water gardener places in them.
Koi ponds are usually built by the Koi hobbyists themselves, all though there are several highly qualified contractors around the country - they are few and far between as compared to the sheer volume of landscape contractors that build water garden ponds.
While Koi ponds are the best type of pond for maintaining the healthiest living conditions for Koi, a Koi pond typically isn't as attractive as a "landscape feature" within the landscape as much as a water garden pond. So Russell Watergardens & Koi created a blending of the two concepts .....the Hybrid Pond™.
Russell Technologies' Hybrid Pond™ has the physical appearance and beauty of a water garden pond, but has the complete backwash, debris removal capabilities, and relative depths of Koi ponds.
All ponds built into the ground must have the earth retained to maintain the "shape" of the pond. If you dig any type of hole in the ground, the sides must be retained or the soil will eventually cave in. A water garden pond uses rock boulders "inside" the pond liner as retaining walls. Koi ponds use concrete, concrete blocks, or timbers "outside" the pond liner as retaining walls. The Hybrid Pond™, like water garden ponds, use boulders "inside" the pond liner as retaining walls to prevent the earth from "caving in".
