BioPond Created to provide our outdoor aviaries with a continuous supply of fresh drinking water, our BioPond is much more than meets the eye. At first glance, visitors see a large koi pond complete with a waterfall and a variety of plants; but it's what they don't see that makes our 10, 000+ gallon BioPond so ingenious. With the aid of pumps, 320 gallons of water per minute is circulated through our unique BioPond and a refined particulate filtration system. It is then introduced to high intensity UV lighting before being pumped through 3 of underground plumbing, which supplies six (6) of our aviary containment ponds with fresh, clean water. The water in the aviaries is then returned to the koi pond, where particles of bird food and seed become a source of nutrition for the fish. In simpler terms: the koi eat food and then excrete waste. This waste produces a natural bacteria that converts the ammonia into nitrates. The nitrates are then absorbed by the plants as a source of nutrients. Oxygenation occurs by the water cascading over the rocks, which in turn breaks the surface tension and exchanges carbon dioxide for oxygen. The pumps force water through the filtration system which removes particulates from the supply. Then, the UV lights provide sterilization of the water, eliminating algae and harmful bacteria. Because the water is constantly moving, it stays cold which makes it less susceptible to bacteria and never gets stagnant. Our unique way of providing chemical-free, clean drinking water to our flock! Biological ponds and pools are ecological formations where water is cleaned by bacteria in the environment without any need of chlorine or any other chemicals. The cleaning of the water is achieved by the principle of reducing the algae concentration by microorganisms and balancing the phosphorus in the water. Water, which is the source of life, has always been the most important natural substance that people live around, meet their physical needs and use it extensively in agriculture and cleaning. In addition to meeting the needs of creatures, water also constitute peaceful and harmonious landscapes to humans. By the help of developing technology now, it is possible to bring natural ponds to living spaces. Besides technology; stress, noise and disease are increasing nowadays. That is why ponds which creating peaceful and harmonious natural landscapes are no longer luxurious. People who succeeded in carrying the tranquility and calming effect of water to their gardens, parks and all kinds of recreation areas turned away from nature when they used chemicals to protect the cleanliness of the water. Thanks to the solutions pioneered, it is possible to create self-cleaning biological ponds and pool systems with completely natural methods without the use of chemicals. In this way, ponds that create a visual feast with plants, pier, stones, fountains providing water games and even fish can be created as a landscape element.
