Aquagarden Foam Pre-Filters!
Aquagarden foam pre-filters are the perfect product to reduce the frequency of cleaning and increase both the mechanical and biological cleaning of your pond.
The Aquagarden foam pre-filters are black rather than blue so they can camouflage into the pond and are far less visual than blue foam pre-filters.
Installing a larger foam pre-filter on your pump increases the life of your pond equipment as it takes longer to block up so the pump does not have strain to suck the water through a tiny pre-filter that blocks every few days.
The best indication of when it is time to clean the foam is when the flow rate of your pump reduces, just remember not to use tap water!
The best way to clean any filter material is to use clean buckets free of herbicides and pesticides, scoop out some pond water and clean the sponges in that and then use the dirty water as fertiliser for your garden!

As part of our 2011/2012 "Pietro by Clearpond" product launch we are also pleased to now offer with the Versaille Three Tier and Versaille Two Tier Fountains a protective rubber ring. The ring sits underneath the bottom and middle bowls of the three tier and under the bottom bowl of the two tier so that they can be moved without damaging or scraping the feature. The ring cannot be seen when seated so all you have to do is level the feature, fill with water and away you go!
Clearpond Proliner 0.75mm textured EPDM liner is now here! The much anticipated return of this fantastic and versatile product is now here, it comes in 30 metre wide rolls in 3, 4.5, 6, 9 and now a massive 15 metre wide roll all with 20 year guarantees.
Also arriving in August will be the revolutionary Clearpond Pond Wand. The Pond Wand is a 150cm long tool that is designed to pull string algae from your pond or lake. The heart of the device is the patent-pending comb, when the brush - loaded with string algae - is pulled back through the comb, the algae clots neatly and is cleanly stripped from the brush bristles into a waiting bucket. Retailing for only $99.95 its an easy and environmentally friendly way to remove string algae.

Winter Tips!
Due to the large amounts of rain we are experiencing Australia wide you will need to keep an eye on the amount of water in your pond, fish can over flow as the water level rises in your pond so it is a good idea to empty some of the water from your pond to prevent this happening. For those about to install a pond it is worthwhile installing an overflow pipe into the side of the pond to prevent this happening, just remember that fish can go out the pipe as well but a cage or mesh will prevent this!
Although it is very cold outside and we like to stay indoors where it is warm it is still a good idea to check your pond equipment and make sure it is still working as it should.
Also while you are out there have a good look at your fish as in winter your fish can be more prone to bacterial infections and parasitic attacks.
