Pond descriptions

Alfonso & Lupita's pond

Right. Grid for inlet to filter.  
Left. First filter bay showing ball float and a filter with a carbon cartridge to eliminate heavy metals.
Right. One of the frogs resting on the filter media. I was advised to get rid of the frogs that had established themselves at the filter bays due to the risk of them carrying parasites, but decided to keep them as they have been a natural control to the mosquitoe population.
Above. I have two German Shepherd dogs. In this photo "Robin" a two year old male is making a water test. Click here to see "Natasha", a one year old female.

This website started with a booklet which I made up originally for the help of those members of the BKKS - South Wales Section who were intending to start building a koi pond, and as the website has expanded more information and articles from other people have been included. This is for general guidance only, and we do not take any responsibility for problems that might occur by following these ideas. It is important that you check out everything in your area, and check on local laws and rules that may apply.
