Waterless Fountain in Greenville SC

2009-12-22T09:23:00.009-05:00

Often called a waterless fountain, the pondless waterfall has become very popular in Greenville SC.

Pondless waterfalls are usually streams with waterfalls that disappear into a pebble basin. The pondless basin stores the water underground and recirculates it back to the top of the waterfall. This same basin can be used to harvest rain water hidden from the human eye.

This unique water feature in Greenville SC is often a hard concept to grasp. For this reason is when spoken it is mistakenly called a waterless fountain.

Of course, a fountain would not be a fountain without water right? This pondless waterfall seen here has 300 gallons of water that recirculates continually to create a unique curb appeal in Taylors SC at my home. It about 15 ft long and is enjoyed by all the neighborhood kids.

If you are interested in a waterless fountain or pondless waterfall give Platinum Ponds a call at (864)430-4700

Water Garden Ponds in Greenville SC

2009-12-22T09:06:00.005-05:00

Garden Ponds are really water gardens. Water gardens can grow some of the most unique and beautiful plants in the entire yard.

Garden ponds are homes to stunning insects like dragonflies, which breed only in garden ponds on cattails or rushes.

Dragonflies are best know for their huge appetites for pesty insects like mosquito's. In Greenville South Carolina we have plenty of mosquitoes but, rarely do you find any around a garden pond. If the koi fish don't eat the mosquito larva the dragonflies have any easy snack.

Cliffs of Glassy Ponds

2009-12-15T08:59:00.008-05:00

Ponds in the Cliffs of Glassy are a luxury. Often pond builders have difficult access issues when building ponds at the Cliffs of Glassey.

This particular pond had multiple leaks and pond pump problems which Platinum Ponds successfully fixed. Often at the Cliffs water features have been given a "black eye" by leaks and high water bills due to the poor craftmanship of landscapers.

Platinum Ponds specializes in water features with leak free techniques and quality components that will last a life time.

Mauldin Pond Service

2009-12-10T09:23:00.008-05:00

Most pond leaks are nothing more than low edges.

How do you find a low edge in a pond?

1. Most low edges are easily found by running a series of tests to isolate the problem area. This can be done by turning off the pump and filling all ponds to their orginal levels. (However, be sure to detoxify any water being added with a declorinator and be sure add it slowly so that you do not shock your fish with the new water temperatures.)

2. Mark the level in your pond after filling. Then wait at least 48 hours without rain to remark the water level and record the changes. If the pond has lost water continue to keep the pump off and let the water level stabilize to find the level of water that is leaking.

3. If the pond is not loosing water then it may be a waterfall area or a stream. Often times water will become stacked up on waterfalls due to debris and dead foliage or leaves during the winter. Visually begin to check all the edges around the waterfall to insure no loss of water. If you find a low area raise the liner and build it up with soil behind the liner to help stabilize the area.

4. Call a professional pond service company if you can not find it yourself. Many times these tests take too much time and patience. This client featured in the photo above of Mauldin SC called Platinum Ponds, a pond builder which specializes in pond service to find their pond leak.

Winter Pond Service

2009-12-08T09:23:00.014-05:00

Preparing your Upstate ponds for winter with a little pond maintenance is simple if you have all the facts. Often in Greenville SC with our pond service we find clients are confused about having koi fish outdoors in the winter. So let us debunk a few myths that surround your typical backyard koi pond.

1. Toxic gases kill pond fish not ice.

Due to the earth’s warmth backyard ponds can only physically freeze to 7-8 inches thick. It is the sealing nature of the ice which does not allow the toxic gas to escape from the pond that is harmful. Rest assured your cold blood friends will sleep comfortably and awaken when temperatures warm if a small hole is kept in the ice through the winter.

2. Turning off your pond pump for the winter is not safe.

Most pond owners that have waterfalls may be tempted to turn it off to save power for the winter. Although you may save some power you also risk losing your fish. Waterfalls are a natural way to keep oxygen in the pond as well as hole in the ice that may form during freezing temperatures.

3. Over feeding your fish for winter can mean more than indigestion.

The rule of thumb for backyard ponds is to stop feeding your fish when the water temperature reaches 55 degrees. Unlike bears, there is no need to plump up your fish friends before they begin their hibernation for winter under the ice. When fish go into hibernation so do their digestive tracts. If food remains undigested it can harm the fish or shorten its life.

The main killers of pond fish in the winter is stress and predators. Avoid these and your fish will live long happy lives.

Natural Pond Builder Needed

2009-12-07T19:26:00.006-05:00

People are what make ponds complicated.

A well designed pond with a few simple components can make this eyesore disappear.

Most people get most of their pond ideas through word of mouth or from a local garden center. Inevitably they end up frustrated or with a pond that leaks or makes the neighbors cringe as they look over the fence.

This pond in Anderson South Carolina was converted into a wetland filtration system. The homeowner can now remove the unsightly man-made components behind the water feature.

The client hired Platinum Ponds as their pond builder to remedy their own pond construction dilemma.

Skimmer Pond Leak in Simpsonville South Carolina

2009-11-17T08:01:00.013-05:00

Is you pond leaking? Is your pond skimmer older than 5 years? It may be the biggest hole in your pond that is leaking...your skimmer.

How do you fix a skimmer face plate which has lost its screws?

Thankfully, fixing a skimmer and the screws is not a large expense. But it will require a lot of patience and a few key tools.

Skimmers spend most of their lives three quarters submerged under water soaking its hardware. It is believed that certain earlier versions of skimmers which used aluminum screws will often fall apart around year 4-6 of the skimmer. Some even believe it is due to underwater lights that are none functioning but still conducting current which accelerated that corrosion process of the aluminum.

This can be easily fixed by removing the old screws and adding brass hardware. First you will need a pair of vice grips to grab the aluminum screws from the inside of the skimmer. This is an important step, as if the screw becomes stuck it will need to be drilled out. Secondly, you will need to remove the plastic face plate and thoroughly clean the skimmer face and liner. The next step is the same as installing a skimmer only now use brass screws, washers and nuts with new silicone to squeeze the faceplate to skimmer creating a gasket.

Not up to this? Platinum Ponds emergency pond service would be happy to help. Give us a call at (864) 430-4700 or visit our website http://www.platinumponds.com/

Taylors Pond turned into Water Garden

2009-11-16T08:21:00.010-05:00

Often ponds are dug and not finished. This can be due to the lack of weekends needs to complete or simply our busy schedules that don't allow you to focus on the task at hand.

This Taylors resident in South Carolina found Platinum Ponds had the answer to the hole they dug themselves into. They took the existing hole dug and created a beautiful water garden in just two days.

Fall Pond Service in Landrum

2009-10-28T13:51:00.004-04:00

Pond service is a relatively new concept for most in people in South Carolina. Often ponds are thought as eyes sores for their property because of the numerous "ponds" they have seen that are sagnate or green. But nothing could be farther from the truth.

Ponds have evolved into aquatic paradises that have beautiful waterfalls and colorful fish with water that is clear as drinking water. Much like a swimming pool service, Platinum Ponds services ponds in Landrum SC and the surrounding Upstate area teaching homeowers how to balance their ecosystem and make them low maintenance.

Most pond owners today are inherting ponds when they purchase their new home but, do not the correct or enough information to care for these aquatic systems. It is for this reason Platinum Ponds seeks to help pond owners learn, care and sustain natural habitats in their backyards.

How To Install Pond Netting

2009-09-22T12:22:00.010-04:00

Pond netting is the only option for pond owners who do not have skimmer boxes to remove leaves.

The dilemia for most is whether to have a clean pond free of leaves or to have your pond view screened.

The trade off is hard to justify for the average pond enthusiast who enjoys their fish on a daily basis. But for those who want to save some time cleaning come spring it is a good choice.

Although leaves will not harm the pond or fish, they can be labor intensive to remove in the spring. If you have less than 3 trees in the area more than likely you would not be considering netting your pond. But, if you have a woods in your yard or your neighbor loves trees and does not rake very often, you may want to consider covering your pond with a net.

There are numerous ways to net a pond. Most horizontal nets or floating nets collect leaves are not the best choice, but often the least expensive. In most instances that I have seen leaves weigh down the nets and become hazardous to the fish which can snag their fins on the netting. Also, floating nets usually collect leaves as they are so light weight they tend to snag the leaves. These floating nets provide little protection from predators are they can penetrate the netting killing most fish.

The best way, yet still affordable, is to create a skelton dome as seen in the above picture. This dome is anchored by slipping the tubing over rebar stakes using the tension of the bent pole to hold it in place.

The cover you use is really up to you. My personal favorite is a woven material that is similiar to shade cloth but, comes as a tarp shape with grommets.

This material can stand up to the weather, be used year after year, and lets the wind pass through it for added structure & view ability. The best place that I have found to purchase this cloth is at Northern Equipment. And it can be ordered online.

My second choice material would be similar in durability but, with larger holes. The tree growers and stadiums use a polyethelene netting which is made to keep birds away. The smallest size available is .75 inches and would keep most leaves. The main brand of netting available is Bird-x.
The later comes in larger sizes and may be the best choice for larger ponds.

Hendersonville Pond Service

2009-09-22T09:48:00.005-04:00

Pond pumps are dirty words for some clients. More and more we are beginning to see the market saturated with Chinese pumps with one year warranties.

When you buy a car they usually give you a 36,000 mile warranty. Why? Because after much testing, the car manufacturer knows that failures will begin after 36k.

Much like cars, pumps are the engines of a 24/7 working ecosystem. The pumps will receive wear and tear as they continue to run day after day.

But how long should a pump last?

Good question. It depends are several factors such as head heights, pipe length and optimal running of the pump, known as it's sweet spot.

But who knows how to calculate all of these factors? Very few. What is a homeowner to do? The best protection a homeowner has today with pumps is his warranty. Manufacturers are now beginning to compete with warranties, much like the car industry. A good warranty for a bearing driven pump (which has friction) is two years. A great warranty for a magnetic pump (no friction) is 3 years.

Now dealers are getting really slick when it comes to these warranties. Some require date of purchase and a receipt. So if you have your feature installed by a "pro" be sure to ask for the receipt. Other wise make sure your pump has a date stamped on it so that you may return it to your manufacturer.

In the picture above this client's"pro" in Hendersonville NC used only one year warranty pumps and one was missing its date codes. There 5 pumps retail at over 4k. So choose carefully or pay twice as much.

Magically Clear Ponds

2009-09-22T08:30:00.007-04:00

Platinum Magic is a revolutionary new type of flocculant, that quickly clears pond water. Unlike traditional clarifiers, it does not bind to gill tissue where it could harm fish. Instead of binding particals together with a glue-like action, it works like a magnet to attract particals to the bottom where they can be broken down. By working in this way, its effects are longer lasting.

Application: One teaspoon per 1000 gallons of pond water. Sprinkle Platinum Magic near pumps or stream areas to ensure proper distribution. Platinum Magic works best when spread over a large area. Use Platinum Magic whenever your water is turbid. You may safely quadruple the application if extreme cloudiness remains.

Platinum Magic works best with Platinum Sludge Remover, Platinum Koi Food, Platinum Clarifier, Platinum De-Clor, Platinum Cleaner and Platinum Scrubber.

To order Platinum Magic for $29.99 call Platinum Ponds at (864) 430-4700 or visit http://www.platinumponds.com/

Fall and Winter Pond Maintenance in Landrum

2008-12-02T12:49:00.002-05:00

In the fall, water is almost always very clear because of the cooler temperatures and the full, lush plants. Enjoy the good water quality! Here are some things that you can do to keep your water garden looking good. Note: Several of the steps do not apply to Pondless® Waterfall systems.

There may be an increasing numbers of yellow leaves this time of year, so prune them off all of your plants. Your lilies – tropical and hardy – should still be going strong, at least until the first heavy frost.

Stop fertilizing when the weather becomes cooler. This lets the plants know the season is coming to an end.

When the water temperature is around 55 F° (10° C), stop feeding your fish. Continuing to feed them could cause health problems or death for them, since their digestive systems are beginning to slow down for the winter.

As leaves falls from nearby trees, you’ll probably have to empty the debris net every day to keep up with the influx of leaves. Some of them will undoubtedly sink to the bottom, try to remove as many as you can, however a few left in the pond will give insects and frogs a place to over winter.

If you leave too much organic matter in your pond, the water may turn brown. If this happens, remove the excess debris and add activated carbon to clear the water.

As it gets colder, your aquatic plants will have all but died for the season. Now you can cut back the dead plant material and remove the tropicals. Cut back the cattails above the water level, or better yet, leave them up to see how magnificent they look in the winter.

If you’re fortunate enough to be where it stays warm all year round, you’re set for the winter.
If you live up north, where the surface of the pond freezes, you’ll need to prepare for winter by deciding whether you want to keep your pond running or shut it down.

To shut your pond down, first unplug your pump and pull it out of the water. The pump should be stored in a frost-free location, submerged in a bucket of water to keep the seals from drying.

If you have fish, a small re-circulating pump that bubbles at the water surface is necessary to oxygenate the water. In all but extremely low temperatures, the bubbling of the pump will also keep a hole open in the ice to allow for a gas exchange, keeping your fish alive. It is not necessary to oxygenate the water or keep a hole open in the ice if you don’t have fish.

If your area experiences long periods of extremely cold weather, you may consider adding a floating de-icer. Controlled by a thermostat, the unit only runs when the water temperature is at or below freezing, heats the water to just above that, and then shuts off again. Ask your installer or local supplier for products to help your pond during the winter.

If you use a floating de-icer, place it away from the bubbler. The movement of the water can move the heated water away from the de-icer, making it run more than necessary.

You can also choose to keep the waterfall running. This will require a little babysitting to make sure an ice dam does not form which could cause water to run out of the Pondless® Waterfall/ Pond basin. You will also still need to replace water loss so the pump can continue to function properly (see “The Water Level” above). This extra effort during the winter will reward you with the most beautiful ice formations and patterns around the falls and streambeds.

One of the nice features of the Signature Series™ Skimmer is the ability to remove the debris basket in the winter to provide a larger opening for water to reach the pump.

The most important thing is to have fun with your water feature all year long. Keep some of these key maintenance issues in mind, and it will be smooth sailing. In the meantime, stay warm!

Maintaining Your Water Feature

2008-12-02T12:30:00.004-05:00

Now that you’ve decided to dive into the world of water gardening, you’re probably wondering exactly what you need to do to maintain you’re new aquatic beauty, and keep it looking good.

There is a lot of conflicting information out there about the dos and don’t of water garden maintenance so your head may be spinning, wondering which steps are necessary and which ones aren’t. The whole point of installing your pond in the first place was to reduce the stress in your life, not add it to.

Well, allow us to share a little bit of water gardening knowledge with you … the key to a low maintenance water garden is to keep your new ecosystem in balance! Read on and learn how to water garden the low maintenance way. So regardless of which type of water feature you own, we’ll tell you the best way to maintain it with the least amount of work on your part!

Different Pond Types
Ecosystem Ponds
The key to keeping an all-natural water garden in check is general ecosystem maintenance. The five elements of your ecosystem all need to be balanced in order to insure that everything is working smoothly. They are:

Mechanical and Biological Filters
Pumps and Plumbing
Rocks and Gravel
Aquatic Plants
Fish

These elements must all be present in order for the system to really work. Once your pond is balanced, it’s not hard to see why maintaining a well-balanced ecosystem is easy. With the exception of some seasonal maintenance, all you really need to worry about is tossing a little beneficial bacteria into your pond and cleaning out your skimmer net once every week or two.

Preformed and Container Water Gardens
When it comes to preformed and container gardens, maintenance is a little different. There are a few products that can be used to clean up your pond when non-algae problems continue. Remember, the smaller the system, the harder it is to achieve balance, so a more repeated dosage of beneficial bacteria may be necessary.

Fresh Start (dechlorinator) removes chlorine, chloramines, and heavy metals rendering the water fish safe.

Nature Clear (bacteria) works the same way as AquaClearer™ and should be added regularly.

Clear Pond (flocculant) for clumping single-celled algae together so it falls to the bottom thereby clearing the water.

Pond Sludge Buster (enzyme) for quick debris breakdown.

Anti-foam or Foam Away™ to eliminate excessive foam build-up in water features.

Preformed ponds and container gardens also differ from liner ponds in the fact that leaks cannot be fixed. Preformed ponds and barrel liners are impossible to fix if cracked and must be replaced. Evaporation is also more common and much more noticeable because of the small amount of space. You can, however, follow the same steps when refilling them as you do a natural liner pond. Lastly, over-doing plants and lowering the fish load in your preformed pond or container water garden will help balance the system better!

Pondless® Waterfall
One of the greatest features of the Pondless® Waterfall Filter is that there is very little maintenance. The system can be run 24 hours a day or can be turned off and on when desired. Don’t forget to periodically check that there is enough water in the Pondless® Waterfall basin to properly operate the waterfalls. When you hear the pump “gurgling” or sucking air, you know it is time to add water.
