Got Algae? Don't Panic!
Before you panic upon seeing a buildup of algae in your pond, keep in mind that algae are a completely normal part of any organic pond ecosystem. A small amount of algae in your water feature is perfectly okay! In fact, it’s a sign of a healthy ecosystem. Algae only become a problem when the growth becomes excessive and therefore difficult to manage.


Quack, Quack
We always advise people to shoo away ducks because they'll dirty up your pond. But in mid-May we found a nest and eggs near our pond so we let nature take its course. About a month later we were the proud grandparents of 8 baby ducklings! It was so much fun seeing them swim in the pond and even go over the waterfall! And then, just three days later, we were duckless. We're missing those cute little guys, hope they found a great new home!
Summer Seminars
We will not be doing any hands-on seminars this summer but if you'd like to learn more about your pond or water feature, you should plan to attend some of our upcoming virtual educational seminars. These virtual seminars will take place on Zoom on the following Saturdays from 9:00 - 9:30 a.m. We will include the links to these seminars in future newsletters and on our web site at truepump.com/retail-seminars-info.

Product Update
We have seen a number of price increases in the past few months from our manufacturers, many with no notice. This is due to both increased material and transportation costs. We are hoping for a price decrease at some point when prices stabilize but prices have certainly been more volatile than we have ever seen them. There have also been lengthy backorders on many items. We are doing our best to forecast and order ahead to have the items you need in stock when you need them!
We Love Being "Your Pond Store"
We recently received the following Google review from Kyle Hopp:

"My definite go-to for pond supplies. Very competitive pricing compared to online and you can actually see it before purchasing opposed to online. Hoping their koi selection follows suit with the rest of their great service and selection."

Thanks, Kyle! We sincerely appreciate everyone who has taken the time to review us on Google, Yelp and Facebook. We'd love to hear from each of you why True Pump is "Your Pond Store"!

The Pond Guy visits a water feature that won the Pond Trade Magazine Artisan of the Year Award and it sure is a stunner! The falls look like they are coming right out of the woods.
