Aqua Tips

• Never leave children unsupervised near water!

• Children and ponds can be kept apart by a simple fence construction.

• Always stock your pond in late Spring/Summer when water temperatures are more beneficial.

• Be sure to purchase fish that look healthy, active and undamaged.

• Avoid buying under 3 inches in length as they have a higher mortality rate than larger fish.

• Site your pump at the opposite end of the pond to your waterfall or filter return for better circulation.

• Try to use a pump stand to avoid contact with silt.

• Avoid the use of harmful chemicals in the vicinity of your pond.

• As a precaution always use a RCD (Residual Current Device) for the connection of any electrical devices.

• Never be tempted to break ice as the shock waves may damage your fish.

• Use a pan of boiling water to melt the ice until it is thawed.

• Take time to enjoy what you have created.

We advise that any installation of electrical equipment relating to a water feature should be carried out by a qualified electrician.
