WHICH ONE, THE POND OR THE
PUMP?
What came first the
pond or the pump? Perhaps we should ask which should come first. Why should we
even care? The simple answer to this question can greatly increase the level of
satisfaction many pond enthusiasts will ultimately enjoy.
From a creationist
perspective, I would say the pump came first. Not the electro-mechanical
appliance we think sucks and blows water around our ponds and gardens; but a
vastly larger, more complex process known as rain via evaporation. The complete
process of earth’s ability to re-circulate water is simply explained as: heat
from the sun warms the ocean water and evaporates it into water vapor. As the
vapor rises, it cools causing the formation of a liquid (condensation) thus
rain. I don’t know about you but I am convinced that the sucking and blowing
activities of earth’s pump is perfectly matched to perpetuate life and beauty
throughout this orb of Eden. And it seems to be AFFORDABLE. Affordability is a
key concept toward long-term customer satisfaction.
I truly believe if
contractors approached their pond, water feature, and water garden projects in
this order they will produce more happy satisfied customers and realize
increasing referrals as a result.
Too often consumers are
frustrated with systems that have not been wisely planned and are poorly built.
Often times the problem is simply a system that requires a pump whose operating
expense is beyond the comfortable abilities of the owner. It’s hard for some
people to relax to the therapy of their fish or waterfall while the
ching-ca-ching-ca-ching of the electric company’s money till is ringing louder
and louder with every passing month. This dissatisfaction could have been
easily avoided. How? Simply choose an affordable pump to operate and build the
system to its performance specifications.
To build a system for a
specific size pump takes a little upfront planning but is really no more
difficult than sizing a pump after a system is completed.
By contacting a
reputable pump manufacturer like PerformancePro Pumps, an installer can receive
quality engineering assistance “free of charge”. As one who provides such
assistance daily, I can assure any installer that some common mistakes that lead
to a pump being criticized due to poor performance, excessive operating cost, or
just too noisy can be eliminated. Since we fully understand the performance
characteristics of our pumps, we are happy to provide such assistance. This
service supports our earned reputation for quality, quiet operation, affordable
pumps, and superior customer service.
If you have encountered
these dilemmas or are just beginning and want to avoid them, try planning the
pump before the pond. Saving energy is also good for our orb of Eden.
