Troubleshooting Existing Ponds

A pond running correctly is a balanced ecosystem, where garden meets feature. The sound of flowing water and the reflections produced; combined with increased visits from birds and insects alike are why many people choose to have a water feature/pond. These combined elements add so many new dimensions to a garden and, if running correctly, should be both low maintenance and a pleasure to be enjoyed.

Problems

Unfortunately, many of your clients do not recognise the scenario described above. So many pond keepers are blighted with green water, dieing fish, blanket weed overgrowth, high-maintenance filters that overflow and weekends tormented by pond cleaning and getting wet. Please see below for to see whether Head Squared can help solve your client's specific problems.

Green Water

Green water is a constant battle with nature to stop single celled algae blooming and ruining our visual enjoyment of our pond or feature. Most feature owners will experience increased levels of green water during the summer when the pond water is warm. This is exactly the time when one would like to sit out and enjoy the view with a nice cold drink. Head Squared can create solutions to help win the fight to keep water clear.

Pond Leaks

Does your pond water level drop more quickly than evaporation alone? If your client's pond is leaking and they are worried that either fish will die or their pond pump may burn out, please contact us for a site visit. For serious leaks we will endeavour to make a same day visit.

Filter Problems

Whether you client has inherited a pond or has built one him/herself, they may find that niggling feeling that the water is not crystal clear as they wished and that the time spent looking after their pond is not time well spent. We can advise whether your filter is simply not set up right or whether it is not adequate for the purpose it was intended. We can also source all products and sell them to you at extremely competitive prices. Please contact us to discuss your needs.

Other Problems

If you have a problem not set out above, do not despair. Head Squared has experience with many other problems which can arise relating to water features/ponds. Please contact us with your specific problem and to see how we can help.

Telephone and Email Consultancy

In addition to doing site visits, Head Squared provides a telephone/email advice service. Some design specialists/contractors do not wish to have a visit from a staff member but wish to ask some advice about their existing job they are planning. Head Squared is more than experienced in giving this type of advice. If you would like to talk to someone or email some requests across, please contact us to find out how this simple, low cost option can help.
