About the Design Package
What We Need From You
Our Pond Design Package includes the following to ensure your success:
Professional Pond Design Help
Whether you’re the architect, builder, or homeowner, we’re here to help you design a successful koi pond.
Whether you're the architect, builder, or homeowner, we will help you design a pond that you will enjoy from day one and well into the future. A new pond may look beautiful, but if it requires too much of your time to maintain it, you will probably grow to hate it. Throughout the whole design process, we never lose sight of how important it is for your pond to be as easy as possible to maintain.
Once we all agree on the design, Sacramento Koi will provide CAD drawings for the new pond. This will make it possible to view everything in its proper place to ensures clarity for the designer, contractor, and homeowner throughout the build.
When building a pond, it's easy to overlook vital points that can have a detrimental effect on your koi keeping experience. For example, having the proper bottom contour will make your pond floor almost self-cleaning rather than you being forced to regularly brush and net out debris to keep the floor clean.
A pond that is too shallow can lead to headaches with predators attacking your koi. Plumbing that is too small can lead to costly monthly bills because you will need to run pumps larger than necessary to get the proper water flow. Additionally, pipes that are too small will eventually clog with waste.
Without the proper number of bottom drains and jets, the pond's water flow will be restricted, causing the water quality and clarity to suffer.
Finally, the proper placement of the lights is essential. Underwater lights installed in a pond extends the enjoyment of the pond beyond the daylight hours. At night, because there is no glare from sunlight on the pond surface, the koi become more visible than ever. The purpose of adding lights to a koi pond is to light up the koi, not just the pond. Because of this, the positioning of the lights becomes very important.
None of these items are overlooked when we support you in designing your pond.
The Right Equipment
The heart of a successful koi pond is the filtration equipment.
We will spec out in detail all of the equipment necessary to build your pond, including any options that you may desire. The heart of a successful koi pond is the filtration system. To ensure your success, we use our Advantage Plug and Play System. This system was designed with both the builder and the user in mind. It is the most straightforward koi pond filtration system available to install, maintain, and service.
Additionally, it's the only filtration system available with a one year, unconditional satisfaction guarantee. That means that we guarantee that you will love the ease of maintenance and water quality it provides, or we will buy it back, no questions asked.
Having a complete equipment list also makes the bidding process much simpler for everyone involved. Plus, buying all of the equipment from one supplier also makes any warranty issues that may arise much easier to handle.
We also have years of experience with different building material options. Over the years, we've built liner, concrete, gunite, and cinder block ponds. Additionally, we have used a variety of interior finishes, including plaster, Pebble Tech, cement sealers, and spray-on liners.
Unparalleled Customer Service
From pond startup to maintaining it, we're here for you.
After building the pond, we are there to support the homeowner every step of the way. We will walk them through the startup process to condition the pond, and it's water so they can safely add koi. From that point on, we are there to assist with how to maintain the pond.
First, we teach how and when to test the water quality. Then, how to make adjustments to ensure a healthy environment for the koi.
Next, we can provide high-quality koi for their new pond if needed. Every October, we travel to Japan to hand-select beautiful koi for our customers.
