What Our Clients Are Saying
We had 5 basalt columns surrounded by rock installed in an old basin from a prior fountain and the price/quality of work from Purely Ponds was amazing. Chris and his team did the job in 2 days and we could not be happier. They are kind, reasonable and highly recommended. We called many places in the area and Purely ponds is hands down the place to go if you are wanting a water feature in Colorado Springs.
Chris has the vision, creativity and expertise needed to create masterpiece water features. We had to wait patiently for our turn, but once he and his crew started, they were done in less than a week. We are delighted with the result and enjoy coffee or lunch or a glass of wine on our deck where we can enjoy the sights and sounds of our water feature. Highly recommended!!!
Chris is a master artist! I never expected to see such a beautiful pond on my property. Chris came out to see what may be possible and with in minutes I knew he was the man for the job. His artistry with stone and water produced a magnificent pond and falls. I have spent hours admiring his work, the sound and the appearance. Each time I step out to the pond I find something else to enjoy, a small fish cave or special rock placement above the water that is interesting.
What’s Included
A water feature adds a ton of beauty to a yard—but like anything that uses pumps, filtration, and moving water, it needs routine care to stay reliable and enjoyable. Maintenance isn’t about making it “perfect.” It’s about keeping the system healthy, preventing avoidable issues, and handling seasonal transitions so you’re not dealing with clogs, low flow, or algae headaches when you want to enjoy it most.
Maintenance needs vary by feature type:
- Ecosystem ponds require more ongoing attention because they include an active biological environment (and sometimes fish and plants).
- Pondless waterfalls and spring fountains pondless are typically simpler, but they still benefit from regular debris removal, water level checks, and periodic system inspections to keep flow strong and the pump protected.
What maintenance can include
Depending on your feature and the season, maintenance services can include:
- Clearing debris from intake areas, skimmers, and vaults
- Cleaning filters, pads, and pumps
- Checking water level and flow performance
- Inspecting components and connections for early warning signs
- Seasonal recommendations for care and water treatments
- Prepping for spring startup and winter transitions
If you’re not sure what your feature needs, we can assess it and give you clear guidance on what matters and what doesn’t—so you’re not overdoing it or wasting money.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should a pond or waterfall be maintained?
It depends on the type of feature, surrounding trees/wind exposure, and how much debris it collects. Most owners benefit from seasonal maintenance (spring and fall) plus light routine upkeep like keeping water topped off and clearing debris as needed.Are pondless waterfalls and spring fountains “maintenance-free”?
They’re lower maintenance than ponds, but not maintenance-free. You’ll still need to top off water (evaporation/splash), remove debris when it collects, and occasionally check the pump and intake area to keep flow strong.What’s the difference between a maintenance visit and a spring cleanout?
A spring cleanout is typically a more intensive seasonal reset after winter (debris removal, component cleaning, restoring performance). A maintenance visit can be lighter and focused on keeping the system running well throughout the season.Can you recommend products or treatments to help reduce algae and improve clarity?
