Just What Are Pond Kits Anyway?

When you are thinking about putting in a water feature in your yard, someone may mention using pond kits as an option for consideration.

However, since pond kits may be something you have never heard of before, or something you are unfamiliar with, knowing some basics about pond kits will be essential.

A pond kit is simply a group of items that are used together to create a pond of a particular size. Any pond kits you purchase will come with very detailed instructions for the installation of the pond. Many times it will include advice on keeping the pond clean and healthy, while also giving information about planting around the pond and stocking the pond with fish. Pond kits come in four “levels”:

1. Basic Pond Kits – At this level, the pond kits have the minimum number of components required to create a pond. The components are:
   a. A pond liner.
   b. A pond liner underlay.
   c. A biological pond filter.
   d. A pond pump of a size required by the pond filter.
    
2. Intermediate Pond Kits – At this level, the pond kits become a little more complex. All the components listed above are included in these pond kits. In addition, you will find the following in intermediate pond kits:
   a. An ultra-violet sterilizer.
   b. A tap water conditioner.
   c. A pond maintenance kit.
   d. A biological filter start additive.
    
3. Advanced Pond Kits – At this level, you will be getting some ‘extras’ with your pond kit. All the components listed above are included in these pond kits, but you will also receive the following:
   a. A pond plant pack – this normally arrives 4 to 6 weeks after your pond kits. This includes planting baskets, fertilizer, and care instruction for the plants.
   b. A fish food pack.
   c. A six month supply of pre-filter media.
   d. A pack of high performance biological filter media.
    
4. Professional Pond Kits – These pond kits are for those persons planning to stock Koi in their pond. These are large fish that require a larger area to live. A higher quality of water and a greater pond depth is required to keep this fish healthy and disease free.

Many companies that provide these kits do offer support, even if they do not actually install the ponds. In all, pond kits can be a wonderful investment and can create a unique water area on your property.
