Not Your Normal Summer

Extreme Water Loss Is Not Uncommon Lately...

If you read our e-newsletters, you know I have talked about water loss a lot this summer. Still it seems some people are just not getting it. Now I'm a pretty patient person when it comes to explaining the in's and out's of water features. There are new people in the hobby everyday -- and we get asked the same questions everyday. That's our job around here, and we love taking the mystery out of caring for a water feature.

BUT...it seems even some people who have been customers of ours for years still think they're the only people losing water in their features. This is not a normal summer. Not only have we had extreme temperatures, we have had little rain. And now low humidity that's causing the air to soak up the moisture from our water features.

Got a comment on water loss? Post it here. Remember that we are all in this together.

So let's all just relax...remember that it's only temporary. Weather conditions will change. You are not alone... you don't have a leak... look forward to the cooler weather to come.

It's fall already!

Even the aquatic planter pots at the store and at home have to be filled every couple of days.
It is our fault though. Ever since we installed the new rain garden at the shop we have not had rain. Sorry everyone.

I have had to fill mine so much I just leave the hose in the pond so all I have to do it turn it on :) But I still love my pond

We have a certain rock that we watch. When we can see the top of it peeking out, we know we need to put water into the pond. The top of the rock has been "peeking out" more lately. By picking a stationery object like that, you know it is not your imagination that the water level is lower.
