SILVER PACKAGE

The Pond Boy introduces the SILVER Package for the busy pond owner - consisting of one visit every 10 days. Let The Pond Boy help you do your chores.

During each visit, four different types of products would be introduced into your pond, including:

1. EcoSystems Aquacleaner Extreme – for water clarity
2. Ecosystems Ecoblast – to help fight debris
3. EcoSystems S.A.B. Extreme – to help fight or prevent debris
4. EcoSystems EcoCarbon – removes odors and discoloration in the water

You’ll also receive a full general maintenance package, where The Pond Boy maintenance technician fully assesses your pond to determine any current issues and any future problems that may occur. While checking your pond, the technician will also:

1. Empty your skimmer basket/debris net
2. Clean the skimmer mats as needed
3. Check the underwater lights, replace the bulbs if necessary
4. Check your pump for proper flow
5. Check and adjust the automatic water fill level (if needed)
6. Trim and remove any dead plants and water lilies
7. Provide site report

We’re pulling out all the stops with the SILVER Package by including your Spring Opening and Fall Closing in the price. Put away your hip boots in the spring, because come March or April, The Pond Boy will be out to:

• removing and inspecting your fish as they are transferred into a holding tank with a specialized water treatment
• completely draining the water from the pond
• removing the filter mats to a holding tank to keep bacteria alive
• removing any dead leaves and stems
• dividing the iris and lilies, if necessary
• power washing and flushing the rocks and gravel, repositioning as required, taking extreme care of any plants remaining in the pond
• inspecting/cleaning all equipment, including filter mats and lighting
• installing the skimmer, pump and filter
• fixing any unsettled edges
• filling with fresh water
• adding 'EcoStarter Plus' to remove/detoxify/destroy the chlorine/amonia/chloramines in the water
• adding 'AquaClearer Extreme' cold water bacteria
• acclimating the fish and placing them back in the pond
• turning on the transformer

You can expect to see The Pond Boy out in your backyard in November to shutdown your pond down by:

• removing any tropical plants
• cutting back marginal plants
• removing decaying leaves and debris
• removing the pump
• emptying the filter and skimmer
• disconnecting the check valve
• placing the filter mats at the bottom of the pond until spring
• installing a bubbler or heater
• turning off the transformer

If you have a lot of fall leaves/debris in your pond, you should also do a fall cleaning which helps to ensure that your fish will over winter successfully. A complete fall cleaning consists of the above steps as well as:

• removing and inspecting your fish as they are transferred into a holding tank with a specialized water treatment
• completely draining the water from the pond
• cleaning out of all debris on the bottom of the pond
• filling with fresh water
• adding 'EcoStarter Plus' to remove/detoxify/destroy the chlorine/amonia/chloramines in the water
• adding 'AquaClearer Extreme' cold water bacteria
• acclimating the fish and placing them back in the pond

Package pricing will be determined by the size of your pond and attention needed.
