Doc's Dream System Pond Kit
For Ponds or Water Gardens -- 1000 to 2500 Gallons

Garden spaces can be made delightful with the addition of a pond.  Double the enjoyment with a Doc's Dream System that is no more expensive than other pond systems (and less expensive than some) and is the lowest maintenance pond system available for the homeowner to install himself!  Complete with illustrated instructions and Doc's own personal attention, his Dream System is truly a dream to install, operate and enjoy.  We've come up with a kit that has all the equipment (except for a few things one can get cheaper at discount hardware stores) necessary to build an "average" state-of-the-art, low-maintenance Doc's Dream System.

This kit is designed for an "average pond" of 1000 to 2500 Gallons

Our definition of an "average pond" is one of natural shape consisting of a waterfall and possible small stream.  Water is pulled from the bottom re-circulation drain via a pump capable of self-priming, through a bead filter (and maybe other optional equipment) then up to the top of the waterfall where it will flow gently on low (and energy-efficiently) or switch to high for heavier flow and during backwashing of the filter.  The following factors must be true for this kit to work for you.

If you are planning a pond that fits all the factors we've listed, the recommended equipment for this kit will work brilliantly for you.  If, for example, you want a 20-foot waterfall with cascading white-waters the pump chosen for the kit will not work for you.  In that case, call us at (770) 663-6325 or email us for the equipment we would recommend so that you can be satisfied with the results.

Fish-Safe Skimmer

Fish Safe Skimmer
This skimmer can be installed directly into the side of the pond or without making a hole in the liner.  It attaches to a PVC arm that protrudes from the wall of the pond via a bulk head fitting.  Another method would be to use hard PVC and have it attach over the side of the pond.  The basket inside the skimmer floats up with the water level which gives a little room for lower water levels before it begins to suck in air.

1 1/2" Bulk Head Fitting

BulkHeadFittingComp.jpg (14375 bytes) Bulk Head Fittings, Double Female Threads - Double threaded polypropylene bulk heads provide a watertight solution when a hole is needed in the side of a rubber liner or hard plastic container.  The perfect piece for installing a fish-safe skimmer  or jets through the liner.
