This is the pond additive program I use for larger ponds it's kind of $$$ but really makes the pond look good and takes the guesswork out of maintenance!

I'm working on this pond today I got some new Fountain heads for it so I'm trying different ones to figure out which one I like best what do you guys think 1 2 or 3?

Today I'm working on these water features trying to get this property to pass inspection so it can sell. The inspector red-flagged the water features because they leaked and the pumps didnt work. I got them working and the place is ready to go. The real estate flips create a lot of work for me because it's hard to sell the house if the water features and ponds are in perfect running condition.

After that I will install a 400 watt Viper UV clarifier, change the filter media from Sand to Pond beads, install an aeration system . Then add fish and plants and set it up on a monthly maintenance schedule.

I really didn't feel like going to the wineries to work
Today . Because I don't want to be around alcoholics with compromised immune systems , They always try to talk to me . So I went and did a consultation out in the cuts instead ended up finding a big pond that needs to be cleaned and have a pump and filtration system designed for it, and a big Fountain and small fountain that needed to be cleaned .
I figure I can hide out here for the next week or so while this is all going on and get down. The customer also started playing the doors really loud on their custom speaker system pretty cool!

I Revived this old Viper UV today -Installed a new bulb, flow control switch
And had to plumb new housing for control switch to go in to . These are the most powerful uv's they sell. They use them for large Reservoir style ponds and fish hatcheries. Without them it's hard to keep Clearwater without using a lot of chemicals or having a really fancy filtration system .They use metal halide bulbs the cost for these units is anywhere between 3,000 - 15,000 plus installation . It looks like the parts would cost about $150 to make it. My retirement plan is to start my own UV company that will make similar units that are better, more efficient and cost less!$

I designed and built this custom submersible filtration system for Groth Winery today, I also installed a UV clarifier Inline in to some external Plumbing in the maintenance room . Some systems do not have have any external Plumbing or pipes large enough to add a canister filter so you have to design a submersible filter. Basically all the water has to be sucked through those Garden pots that have filter media in them. It keeps the water super clear and is easy to service!!$$

After work instead of sitting in the traffic in Jameson Canyon I install these pumps . It's not so hard so it's fun to do it after work people think I'm weird cuz I stay at the house so late but it's better than sitting in traffic!!!

Started a one-year contract on this 27000 gallon pond today going to be fun it's got big koi fish Turtles frogs water lilies.

I re did this Pond for a 94 year old lady in Vacaville that makes the best zucchini bread on Earth. The estimate was for 2,500 I did it for. 1,800 and a loaf of zucchini bread and the recipe. I probably would have done it just for the bread
It's crazy good!

Spring cleaning 22,000 gallon pond it used to be swimming pool. going to take quite a while just to drain it.

05/14/2019

Got a pretty good Yelp review thought I'd share it before they take it down.

It's time to get the pond or fountain in your backyard clean and running properly,
or to set up a new water feature to drown out road noise or create the natural effect of water flowing in springtime from the rain when the season is changing To help you calm down from a stressful day. There is nothing more calming or Fung shway than a water feature that is clean and working properly schedule your consultation today!!!

We Officially did the first spring cleaning for this season even though it's not spring quite yet. Customer text me that the fish are happy in their new algae free environment. I added the 12 koi fish to this Pond about three years ago when they were only an inch long. After on left - before on right .

01/17/2019

Cleaned this three-stage pond set it up on a monthly maintenance program and installed new canister filter and UV clarifier. I posted it because I thought the design of it is kind of cool and a little different than most I see!

10/24/2018

I cleaned this Pond and fixed the cracks the customer said it hadn't been cleaned and 50 years and has no filter so there was about two and a half feet of sludge.

09/13/2018

Finally finished the water feature for clos du val winery . It will look pretty cool once I put the fish and plants in it they had seen the one at R&D kitchen and wanted something like it, I think we definitely outdid it! I hade to design it the way they wanted it to match the rest of their remodel which has the same concrete work.

08/18/2018

I plumbed and installed this 120 watt 3 bulb UV clarifier on a pond today that I've been working on for a couple years. It always has algae problems in the summer because it has full sun .The configuration was a little strange because I also had to incorporate in the old 57 watt UV so that we have maximum algae fighting Power!! It should run super clean now!

06/16/2018

I did some design work on this feature at Clos Du Val Winery I also designed the plumbing and filtration for it. We're going to install a center feature that will flow back into it then I will seal it with foundation coating when it's all done. It should be a cool water feature make sure to keep your eye out for it when you go wine tasting there.

05/30/2018

We're officially booked up till the end of summer I'm looking to hire someone 25 per hour + bonuses it's part time contact me if you're interested. 707-294-4535
