Composition
Plan sight lines, stepping paths, viewing points, water depth and the relationship between stone, planting and water.
Technical Guide
Koi Filtration
A practical technical guide to koi filtration for waterfalls, pools, ponds and architectural water systems. It identifies design questions, constraints and evidence that should be checked before specification.
Scope
- Define the intended outcome and operating conditions
- Map site geometry, levels, access and existing infrastructure
- Identify hydraulic, waterproofing, filtration and control interfaces
- Evaluate maintenance and lifecycle implications
- Record assumptions separately from verified site facts
guide
Site reality before specification
01
Site conditions
Dimensions, levels, access, existing systems and constraints are assessed before final system decisions.
02
System logic
Flow, filtration, pumping, waterproofing, controls and maintenance access are considered as connected requirements.
03
Next decision
The output is a clearer scope and a practical next step, not a generic promise.

What the client should understand
The page is designed to help a client ask the right questions before a final specification, quotation or implementation decision.
Koi water
Filtration, circulation, oxygenation, shade, maintenance access and biological stability must be considered together.
Sound & movement
Small cascades, overflow edges and controlled drops create different acoustic rhythms without overwhelming the garden.
Materials
Stone selection, timber, gravel, planting and water-edge detailing define the character of the environment.
Delivery
Concept → water-quality logic → landscape coordination → technical definition → implementation planning.
Project variables
Final dimensions, equipment, structural requirements, regulations, operating conditions and costs depend on the actual site and agreed scope.
