Pond Planning & Excavation
Create a pond space with a reasonable structure and distinct visual layers.
The shallow water area (15 to 30cm) is used for water plants and birds to wade through.
Add the curve contour to make the pool shape more natural.
Decorate the edges with anti-seepage fabric and pebbles.
Miniature streams or small Bridges can be designed as extension elements.
Installation Pump & Filtration System
Create dynamic water features to enhance the vitality of the pond and the flow of air.
The Poposoap solar fountain pump and filter kits is placed in the center.
Different water spray shapes can be achieved by combining multi-head nozzles.
It can be powered by a solar panel and no wiring is required.
Pay attention to matching the pump power with the pool depth (to avoid splashing).
Add Decorative Elements
Strengthen the landscape atmosphere and reflect individual beauty.
Add float balls, water feature lights and landscape sculptures.
Plant ornamental plants (such as water lilies and cattails) along the edge of the pond.
Place rockeries, earthenware jars and water bowls to create an artistic conception that combines stillness and movement.
Underwater lights can be installed at night (warm light is recommended, and water fog lights are optional).
Create a Light Atmosphere
Let the pond be the visual focus both during the day and at night.
Install solar light strips/spotlights to illuminate fountains or reflections on the water surface.
Create a sense of projection by using vegetation.
Turn on the lighting system at regular intervals to create a peaceful and romantic atmosphere at night.
Maintenance & Seasonal Optimization
Keep the water features clean and tidy, keep the fountains running continuously, and keep the landscape beautiful for a long time.
Check the nozzle cleaning every week and remove leaves/algae.
Check the working condition of the water pump/filter every month
Cover with protective film in winter to prevent freezing (North).
Pay attention to water evaporation in summer and replenish water in moderation.
