The mechanical systems need to run only 5-7 hours a day to remove all the deposited dirt and fish debris.
A high-pressure air compressor is used to produce sufficient aeration for the pond using an output of 260 litres per minute to ensure the oxygen content is regularly maintained at optimum levels.
Uv water clarifier is added for removing harmful bacteria and virus therefrom. It greatly improves the water's clarity and helps to effectively control algae growth.
The current consumption is reduced to minimal. Other than weekly scrubbing of the pond the backwashing and cleaning of the ponds filter system will not take more than 15 minutes.
Koi fish can flourish only in an environment that's rich in water quality. The routine cleaning process and the mandatory water tests are done frequently to detect any abnormalities in the water at an earlier phase.

After two weeks of top quality, Imported Koi fishes were added to the pond four nos at a time. Now it has about 30 nos of Imported Koi fishes which is more than 45 cms in length.
We recommend quarantining all new fish in a spare or temporary tank for at least one week. And before introducing the same to the main Koi fish pond, a proper PP Bath or Salt bath with the right concentration of chemicals shall be given to the fish.
By using the appropriate quarantine techniques, the risks of infection can be successfully minimized so that mortal illness cannot emerge.
