**************************************…

The link below has especially good prices but not so much plant material.

I highly recommend PONDMASTER PUMPS...they are magnetic drive and usually the only thing you ever need to replace is the impeller..there is no oil in it, the pump it runs on magnets.

Good Luck!

P.S. I use a Xavan pond liner with a geotextile underlayment.

Most people use firestone EPDM 45 mil but it is way heavy and difficult to place. Both have 25+ years of use.

I also use 24 watts of UV sterilizer to ridthe alge and have a crystal clear pond in conjunction with Pondzyme Plus

.............Purpose and Benefits:..........

Pond-Zyme Plus is a heavy-duty pond cleaner, containing five specially selected bacterial strains in a stable dry form. Pond-Zyme Plus breaks down fish waste and dead algae that can cause cloudy water, sludge build-up, and debris that clogs pumps and filters.



Organic matter accumulates in all garden ponds producing a build-up of sludge and causing cloudy water. The five strains of bacteria in Pond-Zyme Plus digest sludge into harmless minerals and water. Pond-Zyme Plus helps pond filters stay cleaner longer, reduces pond maintenance and keeps pond water clean and clear.
