Even the best quality pumps require maintenance and repair. For your pump to last as long as possible, it is best to make sure you are cleaning your filter regularly. If your pump has stopped working call Pristine Ponds as soon as possible. Leaving a pond without a pump for any length of time can cause more severe issues.

Leaks | Liner Repair
Concerned about water loss? Is it a leak or fast evaporation? In a heatwave, ponds lose 1-1.5" of water weekly. In Alberta, it's less common but can happen with waterfalls and fountains. Contact Pristine Ponds for expert help determining the cause: torn liner, obstruction, low edge, or plant/algae growth.
Your questions, answered
How do I keep my pond water clear?
Keeping your pond water clear is all about prevention and a few handy solutions. First, make sure to limit the amount of debris that enters your pond by using a skimmer or net. Regularly clean out any fallen leaves or excess algae. Consider adding beneficial plants like lilies or submerged oxygenators to help balance the ecosystem. If your pond still gets cloudy, try using a pond clarifier or UV sterilizer to combat algae and bacteria. Remember, a little maintenance goes a long way in keeping your pond water crystal clear!
What is the minimum size for a fish pond?
When it comes to fish ponds, size does matter, but don't fret, it doesn't have to be massive. The minimum size for a fish pond depends on the type of fish you plan to keep. Generally, a small pond around 100 gallons can accommodate a few fancy goldfish or a handful of smaller species. Just remember, happy fish need room to swim!
Do you need a permit to dig a pond in Edmonton?
So you're looking to dig a pond in Edmonton? Awesome! Just a heads up, if your pond is going to be deeper than 2 feet, you will need to obtain a permit. It's always better to dot your i's and cross your t's, so reach out to the local authorities for all the details and guidance.
How many years do pond pumps last?
Well, let me tell you a little secret about pond pumps! They're like the unsung heroes of the pond world. Most pond pumps, when well taken care of, can last you a good 5 to 10 years. But here's the thing, just like any relationship, it all depends on how you treat them. Give your pond pump some TLC, keep it clean and well-maintained, and who knows, it might just stick around for even longer! So remember, a little love goes a long way in the pond pump world.
When should I turn my pond pump back on?
Figuring out when to flip that switch on your pond pump can be a bit of a puzzler, but fear not, I'm here to help! Generally, it's safe to turn it back on when the frosty fingers of winter have bid us adieu and the temperatures are consistently above freezing. Just give your pond a quick once-over for any ice or debris, and you're good to go!
How to repair a pond leak?
Fixing a pond leak can be a bit of a challenge, but fear not, I'm here to guide you through it! Here are some steps to help you fix that sneaky leak:
- Find the source: Start by determining where the leak is coming from. Look for any obvious cracks, holes, or damaged areas in your pond liner or structure.
- Empty the pond: Carefully drain the water from your pond to get a better look at the damaged area. Move any fish or plants to a temporary holding tank to keep them safe and happy.
- Clean and dry: Thoroughly clean and dry the area around the leak. Remove any debris, algae, or dirt that might interfere with the repair process.
- Patch it up: Depending on the size and type of leak, you have a few options for patching. For small cracks or holes, you can use a pond repair kit that includes a sealant or adhesive specifically designed for pond liners. Apply it according to the instructions, making sure to create a watertight seal.
- Test and wait: Once the repair is done, fill your pond with water again and closely monitor the water level. Check for any signs of leakage, such as drops in water level or wet spots around the repaired area. Give it some time to ensure the fix holds up.
- Refill and enjoy: If everything looks good and your pond is holding water without any leaks, it's time to refill it completely. Gradually reintroduce your fish and plants, and get ready to enjoy your rejuvenated pond!
Remember, each pond and leak may have unique considerations, so it's always a good idea to consult with a professional if you're unsure or if the damage is extensive. Good luck, and may your pond be leak-free and beautiful once again!

Pristine has been looking after our pond for last 5 years . Exceptional service . Highly recommended.
It was great working with Chris. A thoughtful, hard-working guy that really takes pride in every project..
We had a small pond and decided to expand. They had great ideas and implemented them seamlessly and in a remarkably short time period.
I met Chris at the Homeshow last year and he and his team installed a beautiful bubbler fountain in our back yard that was beyond our expectations.
