The Koi Pond
The Russell Watergardens' Koi Pond can be thought of as a "Swimming Pool for Koi.". There are no rocks, gravel, or aquatic plants in the pond that could potentially harm the Koi. The Koi Pond is constructed with "straight down sides" to prevent any predators from walking into the pond and trying to make a meal out of the Koi. The Koi Pond has a minimum depth of 4', usually 5'-6' deep, but can also be much deeper.
The Koi Pond can have waterfalls, but in most cases, the waterfalls are not part of the filtration system like those found in water garden ponds or Hybrid Ponds™.
A Koi Pond is not a "landscape" item like water garden ponds or Hybrid Ponds™, but more of a pool specifically designed for keeping Koi.
Russell Watergardens Koi Ponds are biologically, and micro filtered, with super efficient, Easy to Clean HydroBead Vortex™ filters, along with HydroClean™ pond skimmers and a Bottom Drain performing the mechanical filtering duties.
Oxygen for the Koi Pond is provided by a HydroAir™ aeration system, and the water is pumped with external Hydro Centrimax centrifugal pumps. No high voltage electrical devices are in the water.
Koi Ponds are not considered "landscape features" like water garden ponds, or Hybrid Ponds™. Instead, the Koi Pond is a more "formal" structure within the landscape like a swimming pool. Koi Ponds can be built completely underground like water garden ponds or Hybrid Ponds™, or, the Koi Pond can be made partially under ground, and partially above ground. The Koi Pond is constructed with either concrete, concrete blocks, or timbers retaining the earth "outside" the pond and have rubber liner, concrete, or poly urea liner holding the water "inside" the pond.
Maintenance of Koi Ponds is very easy. Simply backwash the HydroBead Vortex™ filter at least every 30 days, rinse the HydroClean™ pond skimmer elements at least every 7 days, and empty the Hydro Centrimax™ leaf trap when debris is visually seen through the clear leaf trap lid.
Maintaining a Russell Watergardens' Koi Pond takes just a few minutes each week.
A Koi Pond without waterfalls is a quiet, peaceful pond with beautiful Koi gliding about in blissful silence. All the oxygen in the Koi Pond is supplied by the submerged aeration system the blows silent air bubbles into the pond. The pond can be lit up at night with underwater lighting so the pond owner can view the beautiful Koi at night.
The Bottom Drain and pond skimmer constantly remove waste and debris from the pond, so the pond doesn't have to be drained.
Nitrates get removed from the water during the backwash cycles. As pond water is used to clean and rinse the HydroBead™ Vortex filters, new water is replaced in the pond by an automatic water fill valve inside the HydroClean™ pond skimmer.
The water in the Russell Watergardens' Koi pond is circulated with Hydro Centrimax™ centrifugal pumps, and the HydroAir™ Aeration System supplies the oxygen. Both units are "external" and can be placed anywhere outside,and away from the pond. This makes form a "clean" and "formal" look to the Koi pond as the filtration units can be placed far away from the pond and out of view.
Russell Watergardens' Koi Pond are constructed for the sole purpose of raising and keeping Koi. They are the ideal pond style for those that want the best, and safest pond available for their beloved Koi.
The depths of the Koi pond allow the Koi to grow large and strong. The filtration systems are external, so they can be easily increased in size as the Koi grow in size or numbers.
Koi truly are the "Swimming Jewels". The Russell Watergardens Koi Pond is the safest environment to keep these jewels.
