Pond Design Experts in Yorba Linda

Ecosystem ponds offer a peaceful and eco-friendly way to bring nature closer to home. These beautifully crafted water features are designed to mimic the balance found in natural bodies of water. With the right components in place, they stay clean with minimal maintenance, without needing chemicals. When even one essential part is missing, the system becomes unstable, disrupting water clarity and overall health.

How it Works

Step 1

Skimmer (mechanical filter): Located at the pond’s edge, the skimmer pulls in floating debris like leaves and petals before they sink and decay. It houses a pump and basket, helping to keep the water’s surface clear and reducing strain on the biological filter.

Step 2

BioFalls® (biological filter): Hidden within the waterfall feature, the BioFalls® unit is packed with beneficial bacteria that naturally break down organic waste. As the water flows through this filter, nutrients are processed and the pond stays clear and balanced, without any chemical additives.

Our Filtration Expertise

At California Waterscapes, we specialize in building ponds that are as functional as they are beautiful. After working with countless filtration systems, internal, pressure-based, and bead, we’ve found that the biological filtration system by Aquascape Inc. consistently delivers the best results.

Our two-stage filtration method begins with the skimmer catching large particles. Then, water flows into the BioFalls®, where beneficial bacteria break down finer impurities. This eco-conscious design keeps your pond clean, clear, and healthy throughout the year.
