Pond builders

[STLPONDS]

What brand of skimmers and other pond building parts do you folks use? I'm thinking about getting away from ADI parts since the cost is both my arms.

My brother switched me to Russell Water Gardens products a few years ago, and I think they're great. PM me and I'll send you his info- he's a distributor for several different lines.

Russell's site is www.russellwatergardens.com (I think). I'm not a huge water garden guy, but I've been around it enough to recognize quality vs. crap. We had a pondbuilder install a job for us last spring, and when I pulled the pallet of RWG stuff off the truck I was impressed. It's not Harry Homeowner crap, that's for sure. Project was a 24'x12' bottom pond with 5'x7' top pond that diverged into a 12' streambed one way, 4' wide waterfall the other direction. I think it's in the portfolio section of my site. Anyhow, killer stuff.

Savio has some nice skimmers/waterfall boxes.
