The Eco system can produce crystal clear water that allows the choice of either a bare liner or a beautiful gravel and decorative rock liner cover without concern for the accumulation of debris. The Up flow style  filters will purify water when used together as part of the filtered Ecosystem, and even larger ponds with multiple filters.

1. The new cross-flow design of our skimmer assures that even the largest pumps (20,000 gph) will be protected by a leaf net and uncut filter mats.

2. Surface water is drawn into the bellows weir opening. Our patented bellows-weir design dramatically increases pond skimming and also simplifies skimmer and pump maintenance.

3. Our constant-flow design forces more water through the mats even when dirt partially blocks the flow of water through the skimmer. One glance will tell you when the mats should be cleaned out.

4. Bulkhead Fitting (sandwiching liner): The bottom drain inlet goes through the liner near the surface and next to the skimmer, not through the pond bottom.

5. Auto fill Valve (optional): Maintains water level without the need to monitor. Less water is added at one time, preventing problems caused by adding over chlorinating and flooding.

6. External or submersible, standard or high-efficiency pumps are hidden outside the pond and operate silently for years to keep your pond water crystal-clear.

7. Bottom Drain Movement Jets. (optional). Recommended for heavy fish loads and ponds over 3' deep.

8. We recommend 45 mil, fish-safe PondGuard© (from Firestone) liners with heavy underlayment depending on soil conditions.

9. Rocks and gravel in the stream and pond can be used to hide and protect the liner, and add a huge biological substrate for pond bacteria and natural aquatic landscaping without the need for pots.

10. Underwater lights low Voltage make your pond sparkle at night. (optional).

11. Ultraviolet Light Sterilizer (optional) but handy for water clarity only.

12. A built-in waterfall ledge holds the waterfalls stone. Water flows downstream from the biological filter into the pond aerating the water as it cascades.

13. Flexible piping simplifies installation with less bends and glue points to save time and help water flow.

14. Flexible piping also helps prevent broken pipes from tree roots and shifting sands.

15. Optional gravel/rock plant mesh baskets or adjustable rock shelf hide the filter edges and create plant filter pockets. Typically requires only annual cleaning.
