Who wouldn't want to spend in a water highlight that will last for decades? If you are going to spend any thousand dollars on a waterfall and pond, don't you want it to be trouble free and add equity to your home? If so, then you do not want to cut corners by using a rubber liner, along with the with cheap plastic biofalls, filter, skimmer and power wasting sump pumps.
I have been building concrete and rebar reinforced rock waterfalls and ponds for over 25 years and have never had one crack or leak. Hundreds of "do-it-yourselfers" have expertly constructed their own water features with the help of my building Manual, and they will never have to worry about the high cost of maintenance that is a given when using a pond liner.
Pond liner contractors boast that their liners have twenty to thirty year warranties, depending on the maker of the liner itself. What they don't tell you is that the liner is warranted against premise defects only. They won't tell you that twenty to thirty percent of ponds built with liners leak within the first year from causes such as rats, Mice, ground squirrels, gophers, chipmunks, woodchucks, tree roots, stretching and punctures from heavy rocks placed on the liners, not to mention dogs, raccoons, and many other animals. The list goes on.
In addition, unlike the rocks that are secured with mortar in concrete constructions, pond liners are covered with loose rock, together with the building of the waterfall. Consequently, it presents a hazard for both children and adults who exertion to climb on the rocks. The loose rocks placed nearby the pond's edge and in the waterfall attract burrowing rodents, snakes and other animals. Because the rocks are not well-secured with mortar, as in concrete construction, they can in effect shift and communicate the unsightly liner underneath.
Liner ponds utilize gravity filters that need frequent cleaning; and this is a hard, messy and stinky job. Liner ponds also utilize sump pumps to circulate the water. Sump pumps use sixty percent more power than the centrifugal pumps that are used in concrete building and are regularly installed close to the edge of the pond. Consequently, they do not properly circulate the water, so all the fish waste and debris ends up collecting and rotting on the bottom, causing serious problems to the aquatic life. In addition, sump pumps have a short life span and most have only one or two-year warranties.
With concrete construction, two anti-vortex drains are installed in the center of the pond; so fish waste and other particulates gravitate to the drains and are sucked up and collected in a pressurized bead filter. This type of filter only requires the turning of a handle once or twice a week to back-flush the water, which insures a clean, crystal-clear pond.
Concrete ponds use expert pool skimmers to take off leaves and debris before it has a occasion to waterlog and decide to the bottom. Concrete building costs only twenty percent more than liner ponds and they will last for decades. With the proper instructions, any "do-it-yourselfer" can build their own water highlight by hiring expert subcontractors and ordering their own concrete company and rebar installers.
In as petite as one to two weeks, you can have a pond and waterfall that will last for decades and cost only twenty percent more than a leak-prone rubber liner pond. Plus, you will palpate a nearly maintenance-free water feature.
