How to Enhance Your Pond with Easy Add-On Features

Once you have a pond installed, your life immediately changes. That might sound dramatic, but it proves true. The beauty alone is an added benefit to any landscape, but along with that beauty comes peace, relaxation, new plants, and new pet fish. Water features create an outdoor experience that no other landscape element affords. Whether you’ve had your pond for many years or just a few months, you might find yourself wanting to tweak it for ultimate enjoyment. Keep reading to see our top choices to enhance your pond with easy add-on features.

 

1. Pond Lights

Watch your water garden come to life at night with underwater lighting. Tuck lights into the waterfall and enjoy the shimmering effect of the light on nearby bushes and trees. Place lights underwater to shine across the pond so you can see your fish during evening hours. In the spring, you’ll see frogs dart across the shadows of the pond’s surface. Warm white lights create special ambiance while color-changing lights create a spectacular display.

3. Faux Log Fish Cave

Enhance your pond and give your fish extra protection when you add a fish cave to your water garden. Simply lower the Faux Log Fish Cave into your pond and watch your fish swim through it, or use it as a place to hide from predators. The cave also provides shade for your finned friends during the hottest days of summer, and it looks extremely realistic.

4. Automatic Dosing System

It’s no question.

You’ll no longer need to to manually add Beneficial Bacteria or other treatments to your pond – the dosing system does it for you. There are four water treatments that can be used with the Automatic Dosing System. All you need to do is program the system to suit the size of your pond, and swap out treatments if there are specific water issues that need to be addressed. Otherwise, leave Maintain for Ponds in the doser for the majority of the season.
