Pond Design Experts in Westminster

Ecosystem ponds bring the serenity of nature to your outdoor space while supporting local wildlife in a sustainable way. These self-contained water features are designed to remain clean and low-maintenance without the use of chemicals. When all components work in harmony, your pond becomes a thriving aquatic habitat. But remove even one piece, and the balance is lost.

How it Works

Step 1

Skimmer (mechanical filter): Positioned along the edge of the pond, the skimmer captures floating debris like leaves, twigs, and pollen before they sink and decay. It includes a built-in pump and basket to keep your water moving and free from buildup.

Step 2

BioFalls® (biological filter): Concealed within the waterfall, the BioFalls® houses beneficial bacteria that naturally break down organic waste and excess nutrients. This keeps the water healthy and crystal-clear, without relying on synthetic chemicals.

Our Filtration Expertise

At California Waterscapes, we design our ponds with long-term water clarity and ecological balance in mind. After extensive experience with various filtration types, like pressure, bead, and internal systems, we rely on the proven performance of Aquascape Inc.’s biological filtration.

Our two-step filtration method begins with mechanical removal of large debris. Then, the biological filter purifies the water using natural bacterial processes. This approach keeps your pond clean and supports fish, plants, and other aquatic life for years to come.
