KOI POND

What are koi Pond?

Koi Ponds can be thought of as "Swimming Pools for Koi" or simply big fish tanks. 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 (no steps) 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. It can also feature Bubble-Less™ external aeration technology for clear, unobstructed viewing of the koi.

A 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, Hybrid Ponds™ or CrossOver Ponds™.

A Koi Pond is not a "landscape" item like Water Garden Ponds, Hybrid Ponds™, or CrossOver Ponds™, but more of a pool or big fish tank specifically designed for keeping Koi.

Koi Ponds are biologically and micro filtered with super efficient, Easy to Clean HydroBead Vortex™ filters, along with HydroClean™ pond skimmers, bottom drains, and HydroSieve™ bottom drain pre-filters performing the mechanical filtering duties.

Oxygen for the Koi Pond is provided by an aeration system, and the water is pumped with an external pump. No high voltage electrical devices are in the water.

Are Koi Ponds Landscape Features?

Koi Ponds are not considered "landscape features" like Water Garden Ponds, Hybrid Ponds™ or CrossOver 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 other ponds or they can be made partially underground 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 polyurea liner holding the water "inside" the pond.

Landscaping can be placed up to and overhanging the Koi Pond. Maintenance of Koi Ponds is very easy. Simply backwash the HydroBead Vortex™ filter at least every 30 days, rinse the HydroClean™ pond skimmer and HydroSieve™ bottom drain pre-filter elements at least every seven days.

Can Other Types of Fish Live in a Koi Pond?

One of the best things about putting in a koi pond is that it becomes a suitable habitat for a large variety of aquatic creatures. It is possible for koi to live harmoniously with some other types of fish such as goldfish, but not every type of backyard fish. Before introducing a new species, it is necessary to research how that species will interact with the koi and what kinds of demands it will put on the maintenance of the pond.
