2012 WATER GARDEN CATALOG

WELCOME “When you find something you love, you never have to work another day in your life!” I not only say amen to that, but also ask the question HOW COULD YOU NOT LOVE WATER FEATURES?! Growing up, my passion was catching turtles, frogs and fish. In college I pursued my passion by starting Aquascape, a company born of my love for decorative water features. Installing custom water features in people’s backyards, I realized commercially available products were woefully inadequate in creating beautiful, low-maintenance, water features. Beginning with trash cans and cattle troughs, I designed my own filters to solve the problems I was experiencing in the field. I earned a U.S. patent on those products before I earned my college degree and successfully turned my hobby into a career. That was over 20 years ago. Today Aquascape is the largest supplier of water features in North America. OUR MOTTO, “YOUR PARADISE, OUR PASSION®” RINGS TRUE IN EVERYTHING WE DO! At Aquascape we are self-admitted “Pond Geeks” and love nothing more than perfecting our products for our own benefit as water feature hobbyists. For you, our customers, who share our passion with your own water feature, you can rest assured when it says Aquascape on the box or label, it’s going to work as it’s supposed to. But performance isn’t our only criteria. We strive daily to be the best overall value with each and every product we produce. What that means is we balance price and product quality to produce each and every product we sell, to be the best overall value for your buck. From our filters to our fish food, water treatments to underwater lights, everything we carry is scrutinized by water feature lovers to appeal to the needs and budgets of discerning hobbyists. Today, more than ever, people need a place at home where they can escape the rat race and unwind. NOTHING TRANSFORMS A LANDSCAPE LIKE WATER! Here’s to helping you create your own paradise and hoping you see in these pages our passion to help you do just that! Happy Ponding! video on

Founder & CEO The Pond Guy™ Welcome

Living the Water Feature Lifestyle Today more than ever, TIME is a coveted possession. At Aquascape, our passion is helping people transform their yards and subsequently how they spend their TIME. When you own a water feature you transform a house into a home. You create an escape from the stress of the world right where you live. How important is that in today’s world?! We have dubbed this trend “LIVING THE WATER FEATURE LIFESTYLE.” The Water Feature Lifestyle is what you experience owning and living with a water feature. It’s how you interact with it but even more descriptively, it’s how it interacts with you! When you live with a water garden, a waterfall, or even a decorative fountainscape you will be seduced outside, away from the T.V., the computer, the rat-race. People simply don’t sit in their yards for hours on end watching their flowers grow. When you’re feeding the fish, watching the birds splash in your waterfall or simply gazing hypnotically and listening to the beautiful sounds of a babbling brook, you’re experiencing “The Water Feature Lifestyle” right where you live ... at home! From this catalog to our website, www.aquascapeinc.com, to our YouTube videos (www.youtube.com/Aquascape4), you can

Who We Are? The best way for us to answer who we are, is to ask who you are? Are you someone who works hard, or worked hard, for your money? Do you like to relax? Get your hands dirty? Love fish? Love nature? Love the outdoors? Do you like to entertain? At Aquascape we are all about “Living the Water Feature Lifestyle,” which encapsulates all those things PLUS so much more! Living the Water Feature Lifestyle is about having an escape at home. A place that beckons you outdoors where the stress melts away. It’s about creating a feature that draws your eyes to it that sets a mood, all while making a statement. Throughout the pages of this catalog you can see who we are by seeing how we live with the water features we own. What we aren’t, is like any other manufacturer of water feature products in the world. We are hobbyists who are passionate about the products we produce, because as you will see, we live with them ourselves. We have many unique products, designs, and features that we’ve created to expand the enjoyment, improve the performance, or reduce the cost of owning a water feature. For you, that means “Living the Water Feature Lifestyle” should be more enjoyable, simpler, and more economical than ever with Aquascape. “Our Passion, Your Paradise.”

How the Pondless® Waterfall Works:

Rocks & Gravel

MicroFalls® Filter

Liner

The water held within the open spaces of the gravel flows down toward the MicroPondless® Filter which is made up of the Centipede® Module and the Snorkel® Vault. From there, it gets pumped up to the BioFalls® Filter (waterfall unit), where it flows by gravity back down through the gravel bed and MicroPondless® Filter and the cycle begins again. video on

I

have two water features and each of them is unique in the way we interact and enjoy them. The front pond, waterfall and stream is the entrance way to my house. It strikes up conversation and sets the mood for visiting friends or family. The top waterfall is just outside my living room window. We roll the window open and the sound of the cascading water travels throughout the front rooms of the house. My kids, especially my daughter, love to find the frogs that make the pond’s ecosystem their home. At night the lighting in and around the pond brings about a whole new setting. Underwater lights beneath the large flagstone bridge add a really cool

effect making it appear the bridge is hovering above the water. My wife and I sometimes relax on the front porch after the kids are in bed … a nice way to wind down the day. The basalt fountain in the back of my house is outside our family room and master bedroom. I love going to sleep at night and waking in the morning to the splash of water as it bubbles over the basalt rocks. The basalt fountain receives compliments from guests because of its scaleddown size and location in a perennial bed just off the deck. The fountain provides a great sound and backdrop at night with the lights glowing off the wet stones … especially when kicking back around the campfire.

POND AIR 2 AND 4 Every process that happens in the pond is dependent on oxygen. This is especially important at night when plants are not converting CO2 into oxygen. Dissolved oxygen levels are also generally lower in warmer water temperatures. Pond aerators oxygenate your pond, helping all biological processes and creating a more stable environment, resulting in healthier fish and plants. Aeration is also very important during winter months in colder climates, as aeration helps to keep a small hole open in the surface of the pond to aid in degassing. • Comes complete with winter resistant • Extremely energy-efficient air line, preassembled check valves and • Quiet weighted air stones • Simple to use and maintain • Provides years of trouble-free operation • Durable outer housing prevents damage

I

n 2002, about one year after I started working at Aquascape, a Pondless® Waterfall and stream was installed at my house by about 70 contractors on a Builda-Pondless® Waterfall seminar. At the time, my kids were 6, 4 and 2 years old and it immediately became the center point of our backyard. The kids always wanted to be near it, the neighbors loved it and Bob and I have loved relaxing by it since the day the waterfall was turned on. In the early morning it’s my “quiet time” spot. During breakfast, we watch the birds bathe and the squirrels scamper around the

T

ground cover. In the daytime, the kids are never far from it; setting up army men, action figures, Barbie dolls, and buckets of water ... the list goes on and on. Our neighbor boy (mildly autistic) would wander from his house and sit by the stream for hours … literally. Now my children are 15, 13 and 10. The army guys and the dinosaurs are a fond memory of younger years. As a growing family, we find ourselves gathering for dinner near the stream, and we seem to be in less of a hurry to jump up from the table to clean up and move on to what … the TV? Yikes! We’ve added a new stone patio and a fire pit to

increase the backyard enjoyment. And as we lay down to sleep at the end of the day, we open the windows of our master bedroom to let in the soothing sound of the stream. There’s really not a time of day that we don’t interact with and love our stream. I can’t imagine my backyard or my house without it.

he feeling ... Priceless!!! It's like trying to describe a day of fishing and not catching a thing but loving it! It’s like … A day at the beach reading a book and listening to the waves ... Sitting on a dock at sunset with friends and family ... Hiking up a mountain stream looking for the headwaters, experiencing unique vistas around each bend of the stream ... Kids catching frogs and asking me about dragonfly naiads ... The shimmer and reflection of the evening sun on my ceiling ... The summer breeze blowing through my bedroom window carrying with it the music of cascading water ...

I

think our pond gets used by my kids more than their swing set does! The first thing they do when they go in the backyard is run over to the pond to check on the fish, find frogs or throw some of the rocks. When it gets hot outside they love to put their swim trunks on and climb in the water garden and slide

down the big smooth rock on the waterfall. My favorite time to enjoy my pond is when it gets dark outside and the lights come on. The fish seem to be more active when the lights illuminate everything in the water.

W

hat do I like best about my pond? I can’t choose just one thing but these are some of my favorite benefits of pond ownership: • The anticipation of spring after a long winter, the koi come out of their cave like the ground hog comes out of his hole. • The pond constantly feeds my imagination. As a somewhat creative person, I find that the pond is like a painting that is never finished and I can always improve on it. • The wildlife! The frogs, salamanders, dragon flies, fish snails, different birds (even the occasional visit from a heron lights up my kids’ eyes). • The smile on my wife’s face as she watches our kids explore, discover, imagine and learn. • The heavenly feeling of relaxation in the early morning I have as I sit with my cup of coffee before anyone in the house has woken. • The indescribable feeling of relaxation I have as the moon rises, the sun sets and the underwater lights light up the pond and cast moving shadows against the house and the different trees.

I

couldn't imagine life without a water feature. As a lifelong pond and aquarium hobbyist, water has always been an integral part of who I am as a person. It all started with a 10-gallon aquarium in my bedroom as a child and blossomed into a lifelong career and passion. The size of my aquarium also grew from 10 gallons into a 200 gallon saltwater reef aquarium and our newest addition, a beautiful self-built basalt column fountain as the main focal point when walking into my home. My wife often comments on the huge diversity of wildlife that uses our fountain for bathing or taking a well deserved drink of water on hot summer days, I guess she is hooked as well. I would like to personally welcome you to the Aquascape family and the water gardening lifestyle!

innovative, sustainable, submersible and outdoor LED lighting solution that is simple-to-understand and install. The savings in electricity using LED lighting over traditional halogen lighting often pays for the fixture within the first few years of use. There are several calculators available online to calculate the savings. While many water gardening companies have recently entered the LED lighting market, Aquascape has been able to not only minimize power consumption but has also been able to create a more natural-looking light that easily blends in with existing halogen lighting. Aquascape LED lighting provides a natural, warm light that brings nighttime beauty to any setting. Aquascape LED lights

Less expensive or cheaper quality LED lighting systems found in the market often have a bright blue or unnatural looking light that doesn't blend into the landscape. TRANSFORMERS In order to calculate the appropriate size of transformer needed, simply total the amount of lights you plan to incorporate into your landscape. Add the total amount of watts of all your lights combined, to determine the wattage of the transformer needed. It's always a good idea to leave additional wattage for expansion of the system, or small voltage drops caused by long runs of wire. Remember the transformer will only consume as much electricity as being used by the lighting so choosing a larger transformer for future lighting needs will not increase energy costs.

Water Treatment

By Ed Beaulieu, Chief Sustainability Officer

MY DAY USUALLY STARTS WITH A WALK INTO MY BACKYARD TO CHECK ON MY POND. I’LL SIT QUIETLY AND ENJOY THE SERENITY WHILE DOING A QUICK DIAGNOSIS OF ITS WATER QUALITY. I’M NOT TALKING ABOUT TAKING THE PH, MEASURING FOR AMMONIA OR NITRATES, OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. I SIMPLY LOOK AT THE WATER. It’s basic but effective, if you know what to look for. There are three water conditions to look for as a sign that something in your pond is out of balance – green water, muddy water, and teacolored water. Read on to find out the cause and the solution to each of these. THE GREEN WATER MONSTER The first thing to look at is the water clarity. The water in your pond should be clear but not sparkling. It should be a living body of water that is filled with a wide variety of aquatic life, not a sterilized swimming pool. The water in most ponds probably has a greenish hue. This occurs because of planktonic algae, which is a term that describes algae that is suspended in the water, which is generally caused by an abundance of food, a lot of sunlight, and a lack of zooplankton and bacteria. Zooplankton? What is that? Zoo = animals, so a simplified meaning for zooplankton would be animals suspended within the water column. Our backyard ponds are filled with an amazing array of life, and if they get out of whack, one can dominate over the other. In green water, the plants are more plentiful than the animals. This can occur when the pond is new and does not have a zooplankton population yet. Once a healthy population gets established – usually after three years – the zooplankton, which are found living in the rocks and gravel in the root zone of aquatic plants, and free-swimming in open water, will feast on the algae. These microscopic creatures will never fully eliminate the algae, but they usually help keep it in check. YES, BACTERIA IS A GOOD THING Another important piece of this equation is bacteria. You’ve probably heard this term used quite often, and you may already be adding bacteria to your pond. It is another part

of the pond food web, and is responsible for basic nutrient cycling. In other words, it breaks down complex organic compounds into more simple compounds and, in a perfect situation, they actually digest these compounds down to inorganic salts and solids, carbon dioxide, and water. Bacteria is found in the greatest abundance within the filter media, and colonizing in the rock and gravel substrates of pond bottoms.

Both string algae and planktonic algae are part of a healthy aquatic habitat, and should be tolerated in small amounts. They produce oxygen, remove ammonia, and are a valuable food source for a variety of aquatic life forms like fish, snails, and other invertebrate grazers. WHEN A GOOD POND GOES BAD If you have a well-established, clear pond that suddenly goes green, try to determine why. Did it recently rain? Have you been feeding your fish more than normal? Did you lose power to the pump? These are all valid reasons for a change in water quality and there are strategies to remedy each of the situations. RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS Heavy rains can wash fertilizers or rich organic soils into the pond. If it happens to be a thunderstorm, the rainwater itself is the problem. The high energy produced by lightning creates nitrate from the abundance of nitrogen gas in our atmosphere. This is absorbed by the rainwater, and falls into your pond. Nitrate is basically fertilizer, and will efficiently feed the algae, causing small blooms overnight. This is easy to fix in a well-balanced pond that has a healthy population

Combining science with simplicity, Aquascape's complete new and improved line of water treatments make it simple to maintain a healthy, well-balanced water garden. Aquascape's new pump top liquid bottles and bubble tabs make dosing simple and affordable.

The Power of Observation

Understanding and observing your pond is key to solving water quality issues.

of bacteria and zooplankton. The greater the population of these living creatures, the quicker the recovery process. Run-off entering the pond is a little more work, and may require altering the drainage patterns so the water moves away from the pond edge if possible. Run-off water can carry fertilizers, pesticides, oil, or any number of contaminants depending upon the area being drained, which can feed planktonic algae or kill it – both of which cause a serious disruption in the pond’s ecology.

Another cause of the appearance of green water is filamentous or string algae. It doesn’t actually turn the water green, but it does make it appear green because you’re looking through the water and seeing green algae on the pond’s bottom. • It’s rare to have string algae and green water simultaneously. • String algae should be kept as a short, moss-like covering on rocks or around plants. • String algae is hardier and more difficult to control than planktonic algae. • When it’s out of control, it becomes unsightly and is a good indicator of an out-ofbalance pond. • Just like planktonic algae, string algae grows from excess nutrients and sunlight. • Control of string algae is similar to planktonic algae control methods.

OVERFEEDING YOUR FISH Overfeeding can be a big problem and again, an easy one to fix – just stop or slow down the feeding. This may be easier said than done, so if you are known to regularly overfeed your fish, make sure the filtration can handle it. Adding a larger biological filter than you think you need, or adding a second unit can help your pond keep up with your feeding habits. Generally, two biological filters are better than one large one, as the second filter also acts as a back up in case of a pump problem. PUMP PROBLEMS AND POWER OUTAGE If you blow a circuit or lose power to your pump for more than 24 hours, you may see a change in water quality. There are many factors that will affect this, such as your fish load, sunlight, temperature, time of year, and type of pond, gravel or no gravel in the pond. If your pond is designed properly, you’ll eliminate half of these issues, but pumps still can fail and power outages occur. Thankfully, as soon as the pump is operational, the symptoms generally rectify themselves. MUDDY WATER BLUES The other two main categories are muddy or turbid water, and tea-colored or tinted water. Muddy water is fairly obvious in its origin – soil is getting into the pond from run-off or potted aquatic plants. Dealing with, and avoiding water run-off has already been discussed, but what about the aquatic plants? Fish can be the culprit, as they’re always foraging for food and will stir up the dirt in your potted aquatic plants as a part of their daily activities. A 2-inch thick layer of gravel covering the soil around water lilies and other potted aquatics helps with this problem. You can also remove the soil from the roots of your marginals and tuck them into the gravel substrate. This not only keeps excess soil out of the pond, but it forces the marginal plants to absorb more nutrients from the pond, further helping with algae control. These suspended soils are usually removed within the settling chambers of most filters, but if the problem persists for more than a week, flocculent can be added to the water, such as Aquascape Rapid Clear. This causes the fine, suspended sediments to clump together into larger particles that will then settle out on their own. After a treatment, you may notice a light covering of sediment on the bottom of the pond. Simply stirring the water by hand or with a

net will re-suspend the sediment, allowing the filters to capture it. If you don’t have a settling chamber in your biological filter, you may choose to skip the last step. TEA ANYONE? Like tea leaves, most leaves that fall into your pond contain tannins, which are released into the water during the decomposition process, causing teacolored water. Certain leaves contain more tannins than others, but the result is the same – brown stained water. Tannins can also be caused by run-off flowing through planting beds that are covered in wood mulch.

Tannins do not settle out like sediments so they need to be physically (or chemically) removed. Start by removing the source of the tannins by netting any leaves that have settled on the bottom of the pond, and by regularly emptying your skimmer net. The most effective way to remove tannins is by using Aquascape Activated Pond Carbon (see page 37). Simply place the Activated Pond Carbon where there is constant water flow, such as a skimmer, biological filter, or stream. The carbon acts like a magnet and actually absorbs the tannins from the water. Activated carbon should be changed on a regular basis according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. If the tea color persists, partial water changes will also remove tannins.

Understanding and observing your pond, isn’t just a way to solve water quality issues. Your pond is one piece to the puzzle of the big picture, and the more you understand your small backyard water feature, the better you’re able to see and understand what’s happening on a larger, global scale.

Fish Care

40

By Scott Rhodes, Director of Product Marketing

THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION IS SIMPLE. ABSOLUTELY NOT. ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT DECISIONS YOU CAN MAKE IN SUPPORTING YOUR WATER GARDEN’S ECOSYSTEM IS WHAT AND HOW YOU FEED YOUR FISH. PROPER NUTRITION NOT ONLY AFFECTS THE BEAUTY OF YOUR FISH, BUT THEIR OVERALL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING. Keeping beautiful, vibrant, and healthy fish is one of the greatest joys of owning a water garden. Aquascape fish foods contain only the finest raw ingredients, combined with a proprietary blend of bacteria and enzymes that help pond fish utilize more of what they eat … resulting in faster growing pond fish that produce less waste, and ultimately better overall water quality. WHY FEED YOUR FISH? Although it is possible to keep pond fish in a mature, established ecosystem without feeding them, it is certainly not ideal. Fish, like humans, need a well-balanced diet in order to maintain optimal health. In enclosed water gardens, all necessary nutritional needs are not always met and often result in fish that grow slowly, are not colorful, and are more prone to diseases. WHY AQUASCAPE FOOD? Simply put, our food is scientifically formulated to optimize fish health and beauty. Aquascape fish food minimizes the biological or filtration demands on your water garden that occur when

feeding fish a poor quality food. One of our goals was to create a food that would enable fish to utilize as much of the food as possible, maximizing growth and minimizing waste. We also wanted to make sure that the food was simple for the fish to digest. Any undigested food is easily broken down biologically and does not become a burden to the overall ecosystem of the pond.

As with all Aquascape products, we choose to “work with Mother Nature and not against her,” and provide our customers with the best value in water gardening products. We are confident that the results you experience with Aquascape fish food will exceed your expectations. ACHIEVING THE GOAL Aquascape analyzed a variety of fish food brands formulated for decorative pond fish, in addition to researching formulations and technology implemented in the aquaculture industry. We worked with companies that were able to share technologies and manufacturing techniques implemented over decades, creating foods for fish that would be consumed by humans.

This technology resulted in providing color enhancers that work quickly to enhance the beauty of pond fish, as well as achieving a balance between coloration and growth, while lessening the impact on the overall environment and ecosystem. Independent lab testing has confirmed the amazing results THAT YOU WILL SEE quickly, and experience firsthand in your pond fish. KEEP IT FRESH You can create one of the best fish foods in the world, but if it’s not kept fresh, it’s not going to maintain superior quality. Using a heavyduty, resealable, foil package helps keep the food fresher, longer while protecting vitamins from light that clear packaging simply can’t do. Aquascape’s consumer-friendly resealable bag locks in freshness and prevents food from spoiling after being opened. Please make sure that food is stored indoors in a cool, dry environment. Leaving food outside in the elements can easily spoil the food and possibly make your fish sick. FOOD FOR THOUGHT All fish food is not created equal. Aquascape prides itself in creating the best products, at the best price, resulting in the best value for you in every product category. We are extremely excited about the breakthroughs we’ve achieved with our latest proprietary fish food formulations. Try it and see for yourself. Your healthy, colorful, and more active fish will thank you! 

Fish, like all creatures, need food to survive. Aquascape fish foods are scientifically formulated to provide all pond fish with premium quality nutrition at a great price. Quality ingredients, including multivitamins and stabilized vitamin C, provide superior nutrition and will not pollute pond water. Aquascape fish foods are ideal for all pond fish including koi and goldfish. At Aquascape, our goal is to provide our customers with the best products, for the best price, creating the best value in water gardening.

Are All Fish Foods Created Equal?

y water feature is the centerpiece of my entire outdoor living area. Everything else is built around it to compliment it because it is the most enjoyable room at my home during the warmer months. I just can’t get enough of it. The first thing that I do when I come home after work is visit my pond because there is always something new about it. Whether it is new wildlife, new plantings emerging or just an overall new energy, it is like Christmas every day! When we sit by our pond to relax and unwind and everything else in life just disappears.

s a busy professional, I love the way I feel when I get home at night and can sit by my pond. The sound of the water, the growth of the fish each year, and the beauty of the plants around the pond have a calming and peaceful affect on everyone who comes to my house. Additionally, my two dogs LOVE their in-ground water spout!

en years ago my wife and I bought our first house. To say it needed to be fixed up would be an understatement. It needed everything: plumbing, electricity, heat, I mean everything. After a few short months we had it ready enough to move in. It was livable but by no means finished, but it was good enough for me, so time to move on to the most important project … building my pond! My wife was not happy to say the least, but I was in the pond business so I had to have a pond. Quickly, our backyard was beautiful and came to life with our pond. It didn’t take long before my wife was the first one home to feed the fish, or begging me to keep it running a few more weeks at the end of the season. Now with three daughters and a black Lab, the pond sees all kinds of activities. Our dog is in it first thing each morning and the kids spend many a summer afternoon splashing around with the fish. Now as we head upstairs to bed each night and pause to look down on the pond, my wife turns to me and thanks me for letting her live in a resort.

e enjoy our pond almost every night, but we look forward to Friday nights. We have family, friends and neighbors over to sit by the pond and enjoy drinks, appetizers and sometimes homemade pizza on the grill. We light up the Tiki torches, listen to music and have some good laughs. It is a perfect ending to a busy week.

Our granddaughter, nieces and nephew enjoy playing in the streams and hand-feeding the fish. They enjoy “fishing” with home-made fishing poles we bait with Cheerios. Each child has their own favorite fish they’ve named.

Aquascape poly-resin decorative water features combine beauty, detail and intricate design of more expensive traditional decorative pieces. Decorative water features are often made from more expensive materials like brass, steel or copper. Poly-resin is a sturdy material that can be intricately molded, allowing for an amazing amount of detail and consistent texture that easily fits into most budgets. At Aquascape, our goal is to provide our customers with the best products, for the best price, creating the best value in water gardening.

Winter Prep Reminders IF YOU DECIDE TO SHUT YOUR POND DOWN FOR THE WINTER, DON’T FORGET TO … • REMOVE THE PUMP from your pond and store it in a warm place like the garage or the basement. Protection from the cold lengthens the life of your pump. • DRAIN THE WATER out of the plumbing. This prevents the standing water from freezing and expanding, potentially cracking the pipes that connect your filtration system. • REMOVE AND CLEAN THE FILTER MEDIA and spray them thoroughly with a garden hose. Store them in the garage or the basement along with the pump.

PROTECTIVE POND NETTING

• OXYGENATE THE WATER by placing a small pump on the top shelf of your pond. Oxygenating the water is not only for the sake of your fish, but it also helps keep a hole open in the ice when the surface of your pond starts freezing. This hole allows harmful gasses to escape, and oxygen to get in. • If it gets really cold where you live, you may CONSIDER ADDING A DE-ICER. At extremely low temperatures, the oxygenation of the water may not be sufficient to keep a hole open in the ice. That’s where the de-icer saves the day. It compliments the bubbler, and together they’ll keep most any pond open. 

AQUAFORCE® SOLIDS HANDLING WATERFALL PUMPS AquaForce second-generation new asynchronous solids-handling waterfall and filter pumps accomplish what most see page other pumps only aspire to achieve. 17 The combination of energy-efficient performance, and flow and ease of maintenance make this pump the ideal choice for discriminating pond owners. AquaForce® pumps are able to pump solids up to one quarter of an inch. • Asynchronous motor technology provides AquaForce® 1000 high torque, trouble-free performance at Solids Handling Pump higher head heights Unit Weight: 10.6 lbs. • Durable prefilter cage design prevents clogging and reduces pump #91011 maintenance ®

Capturing the Rain

RainXchange®

By Ed Beaulieu, Chief Sustainability Officer

WHERE DOES THE RAIN GO? When it rains, did you ever wonder where the rainwater goes? Sure, some of it soaks into your garden and lawn and some of it evaporates. But surprisingly, the majority of it ends up in the ocean. I know this may sound strange – especially if you live right smack in the middle of North America, miles and miles from the nearest ocean. Excess rainwater flows into a sewer or retention basin, which eventually leads to a stream or river which flows to the ocean. During this journey, the water picks up pollutants – many of which come from pesticides and chemicals applied to our lawns – carrying them to the ocean. You may have heard about fish kills and dead zones in the ocean with one of the largest floating off shore in the Gulf of Mexico. The Mississippi River discharges enormous volumes of water loaded with suspended solids, excess nutrients, and pesticides. This concoction of pollutants means the water is devoid of life. To keep this from getting worse, diminish or eliminate the use of lawn fertilizers and pesticides. If we don’t use them, they can’t get into our waterways.You can also install a rain barrel to capture the rain, which you can then use to irrigate your garden.

A BARREL O’ RAIN DROPS The best way to keep rainwater on your property is to capture the water flowing off your roof. Simply install a rain barrel directly under the downspout. Rain barrels come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but try to find one that holds more than 50 gallons. It will fill up faster than you think!

Also be sure to purchase a rain barrel with an automatic overflow system that directs excess water away from your house. In a heavy rain storm, you don’t want to worry about your rain barrel overflowing and water leaking into a nearby basement window. Remember, you’ll benefit from multiple rain barrels if you have a larger roof. Now that you’ve collected all this rainwater, what do you do with it? Back in the 70’s, it was all the rage to wash your hair with rainwater, with claims that your hair would be silky smooth. It might be easier, however, to connect a hose to the spigot on your rain barrel and water your landscaping. Rainwater is filled with beneficial nutrients and is much better for your plants than municipal water.

RainXchange® Rain Barrel Features: • Large 75-gallon capacity • 5-year warranty • Requires no electricity • Large safety overflow keeps water in the barrel or away from the house • Lid can also be used as a planter • Thick plastic walls are durable and will withstand extreme conditions. • Childproof lockable lid • Brass spigot for garden hose connection • Made in the U.S.A.
