Full Pond Protection Kit
Economically powered by a Battery or Mains operated Energiser (included in kit) an electrical pulse is transmitted around the unobtrusive Polywire system, which is supported above the surface of the water by our own specially designed and patented PPK Support Rods. Fully expandable kit.
Kit is big enough for a ten meter, perimeter pond, extra support rods and polywire can always be supplied if the pond is larger than this
These screw eyes, are ideal for securing our children's safety netting around ponds,
which have bricks, slabs or concrete around the perimeter. We suggest one foot apart,
for the safety element. Just drill a six ml hole with a raw plug inserted, pull the
netting tight and loop into the screw eye. We are now selling these in a pack of
twenty for £25-

Electric Fence -
This is the only black unobtrusive polywire on the market, especially made for Pond Management, so that with the patented kit it is barely seen around a pond, which our customers prefer, or if you have a different device already and wish to change the colour to make it less obtruseive.
The BLACK Polywire is 1.5mm in thickness, and has 3 stainless steel wire and 12 thin plastic strands. This wire can be energised with a low voltage to scare away unwanted predators.
£27.50 per roll including P & P

The finest air pump for all ponds
Because I have kept Koi Carp for thirty five years, I get my customers asking me what do I recommend for their ponds, apart from the normal pump, filters etc. I always state that you should have an air pump, without a doubt, because it can be the Saviour of your beloved fish.
Its the ideal thing to have in humid weather and also keeps areas clear of ice, which I expect was needed on many ponds this winter. Now apart from this, if your main water pump gets blocked, jammed impeller, or packs up completely because of overheating especially when you are on holiday, (I only just new how to spell that because I have never had one) my Koi Carp don't allow it, my wife is always arguing with them.
Anyway your air pump again is your Saviour. I have had umpteen air pumps one had little pistons on the outside that you had to keep on oiling. It was like a little steam train but all the others had Diaphragm's.
I used to have to renew the Diaphragm's periodically as they vibrated and were noisy. They were not very expensive but you had to buy more in the long run. Anyway I bought a Medo LA45B air pump manufactured by Nitto Kohki Ltd of Japan. It Is a Linear Motor Free Piston System which I have been using for many years now.
Yes it is more expensive because it is so good but this is the one that I recommend. And yes there are allot of other pumps much cheaper, I have been there and done that. I wish I had had someone whom I could have trusted years ago with their experience of thirty five years to point me in the right direction with air pumps etc etc instead of me wasting so much money.
Well the Electro-
Well there you have it, not many shop keepers stock them because they are to expensive. So they sell the cheaper models instead, less outlay and more turnover I suppose. Plus nine times out of ten they are only sales people and not Keepers of Ponds and of our beloved Koi and related of course.
One of my ponds has some Gold Fish, Tench Grass Carp etc. Anyway this Medo LA45B
has been keeping my two ponds healthy and free from ice for many years. Trust Me.
Items that go with the pump are Rubber connectors, an air valve so that you can keep
an eye on the out-

The electric fences are from 3 mtr lengths of 6 ml mild steel rods, which are cut up in my unit. These are then cleaned and de burred. They are then sent off to the injection mould company, who then put two areas of plastic moulding on each support rod, There are three eyelets on each section of the plastic moulding which enable insulation from the 6 ml mild steel. When they are returned to me, some are bent to 45% and others left straight depending on what you require.
The electric fences are then hand painted with Hammerite and hung up to dry. So there is quite a process in manufacturing these support rods, hence they cant be as cheap as some support rods, which are like plastic coat hangers. There has always been a Rolls Royce and a Morris 8 to choose from.
