Proactive Maintenance for Every SLC Microclimate

Salt Lake City ponds experience dramatic swings: canyon winds, alkaline water, and temperature drops within a single day. Our maintenance technicians adjust flow, bacteria dosing, and feeding to match these shifts, keeping ponds stable without overusing chemicals.

We inventory every component on your system so replacement parts, UV bulbs, and skimmer nets arrive on schedule. Filter cleanings include mineral scale removal to counter the city's hard water, and we calibrate dosing pumps for both culinary and secondary water sources.

During winter we set aeration depth for ice-free breathing holes, wrap exposed plumbing, and monitor remote temperature sensors. Spring visits focus on reactivating biofilters and preventing runoff from clouding water.

Client Maintenance Stories

“
Their maintenance logs flag every trend. When our KH dipped, they corrected it before the fish showed stress. That level of detail is rare.

Winterization used to keep us up at night. Now the heaters, aerators, and remote monitors are all managed for us and the pond stays open all winter.

Maintenance FAQs for Salt Lake City

Can maintenance include plant and fish sourcing?

Yes. We divide and replant hardy marginals, order seasonal lilies, and quarantine new koi before introducing them to your Salt Lake City pond.

Do you service secondary-water ponds?

We condition secondary irrigation water using carbon block and particulate filtration so dissolved solids stay balanced for koi and goldfish.

How do maintenance plans handle power outages?

We install surge protection, battery backups for aerators, and provide generator connection kits for clients in outage-prone canyon corridors.
