Adding a pond to your landscape can be the most wonderful additions you can do. Ponds bring another dimension of magic to your life. But, picking out all the needed materials can be a daunting task. This is where complete pond kits come to the rescue. When you buy a pond kit it will generally come with everything your need. Aside from the rocks, plants, water, and labor to install it.
While ready made ponds make the designing process easy. The numerous pond kits for sale can lead to some more confusion. We have tried to break down the various categories of pond kits down below to make it easier to select the perfect kit for your project.
Koi pond kits are typically geared more towards fish keeping. Built to depths 4′ or more with straight down walls. Which prevents pond predators from having a lunch time snack on your beloved fish. Koi ponds also require additional filtration components like bottom drains to filter out fish waste and increase circulation. Not having the correct filtration in a koi pond will result in poor water quality conditions. The koi fish pond kits below have all the needed components to enjoy koi to your hearts content.
These koi pond kits from EasyPro include the components needed except the liner and underlayment. Allowing you to get the perfect size liner and not be stuck with a predetermined size.
Each kit comes with all plumbing needed, Eco-Series waterfall spillway, UV clarifier, EasyPro external pump, EasyPro bottom drain (EBD4N), external skimmer, and a EasyPro bead filter.
Available for custom shaped ponds that equal 3500 gallons and 5500 gallons in size.
Normally retails for around $2612.63 and $3349.91.
Water Garden Kits
Water garden kits are designed more for decoration with a small self-contained ecosystem. Usually only including a few small fish, and lots of aquatic plants. The plants do a good portion of the filtering. Which results in less pond filter equipment needed. Most of the garden pond kits below are available in two versions. One is for a do-it-yourself install that includes lower cost and easy to install parts. But sacrifices a little bit in quality and durability in our opinion. The profession series water garden kits are recommended for most installations and can be done by homeowners.

Waterfall Kits
Waterfall kits without a pond are often called “pond-less or pond-free”. They’re a waterfall, usually with a stream that just disappears into a basin. Often covered in gravel and boulders.
The benefits of a pond-free waterfall kit are;
You can turn the waterfall on and off whenever you want (ponds usually require 24 hour continuous aeration)
No standing water that could pose a danger to children or pets
Very little maintenance needed
Two additional product we recommend with waterfall kits are LED lighting and a auto-fill valve. The pond lighting will really make the waterfall come to life and give you more hours of enjoyment. While the valve will make sure the basin has the correct water level to protect your pump from burning out.

Patio ponds (also sometimes called container ponds) are great when you have limited space or time. You can put a patio pond kit just about anywhere and have it up and running in no time.

Here are some questions to ask yourself when you’re looking at the various pond kits for sale:
Will I need to add additional filter media as time goes on.. and if so what kind
What is the cost to replace the filter pads, and are they readily available
How is the pond filter cleaned and how often does it have to be cleaned
What upgrades can I do to the filter system if needed and how much would that cost
What is the cost of cleaning each year if I hire it to a pond contractor
Will the pond need to be pressure washed each year and do I have one available
The answers to these questions will help you keep the big picture in mind. Often times it pays to purchase a quality pond kit up front. Rather than replacing it down the road or dealing with expensive maintenance costs each year.
Like all things, we need to look into the total cost of ownership and the value we’re getting for our hard earned money.
Pond kits with waterfall liner typically aren’t available from most manufacturers. While you can add a small waterfall with most kits. You will need to buy and additional waterfall liner, more tubing, and a tubing coupler. Just be sure your pump can handle any additional load you may be placing on it.
This will allow you to correctly size the waterfall you need and can be done with any kit available. Any sizing questions for a particular pond kit, feel free to contact us.
We can help you put together a custom pond kit. But, do not have the time, or all the information available to us to design it properly. There are many site considerations that go into a successful water feature. We suggest doing some homework and figuring out how things work, or hiring a local pond contractor. The added expense up-front will be well worth avoiding costly mistakes down the road.
