If you don’t already have a water feature this is the year to consider installing one. Water brings movement and peace and there is nothing more relaxing and calming than listening to soft running water after a stressful day. With some of the easy to use products we listed below there is no need to have green water in your pond or fountain to put you off having one.

Because moving water encompasses all senses, your water feature should be the focal point of your garden or patio. Fountains have many benefits other than adding beauty to your home or gardens. Water in the garden aids in stress relief and relaxation, acts as a natural humidifier, improves air quality with negative ions, and produces soothing water sounds that can drown out annoying sounds or street noise to soothe and relax you.

Water features can be crafted to fit any space from a patio or deck featuring a complete fountain, to a grand scale feature complete with large boulders and waterfalls. A water feature should complement the style of your home.

Often maintenance is the one thing that holds people back from installing a water feature but they can take surprisingly little effort if you plan properly. As we said there are new products on the market that will keep your pond clean.
AlgoRem - Clears green water within a few hours and keeps the water clear. Use it whenever the water begins to turn green.
AlgoFin - Treats blanketweed algae and is safe for water plants and fish.

A still water pond will often end up being more maintenance than a feature with moving water. A simple pump that circulates the water and splashing water which oxygenates the water will make all the difference.

Water plants provide shade for fish and utilise the excess nitrogen they produce. Plants are the easiest way to keep your pond looking fresh naturally. To boost the growth on your water plants as PlantaMin - this feeds them with all the nutrients they need and wont promote algae growth.
