 A Flood of Good Ideas

There’s hardly anyone now who doesn’t recognise the company A Room for View's Finia™ water feature reservoirs. They are a successful brand across the globe because they continue to outperform all others in it’s sector and they'Room for a View', an unusual name for some unusually good products. are made in England. Using 100% recycled and recyclable material it upholds the ‘green’ theme within gardening today and offers a real alternative to other cheap and unstable water feature systems on the market. Their 'reason for being' has always to be strong enough to support the largest water features and also to be large enough to provide enough of a reservoir of water for pump safety and peace of mind.

This is the best time of year to be considering a new major feature in the garden and Room for a View are stocked up ready to supply the essential items that you may never see, but are the make or break of a successful self-contained water feature. Also if you are a water gardener considering those early Autumn pond keepers chores, this is one of the least disruptive times to carry out a good clean out of the pond, but where are you going to put the fish? Room for a View have the perfect portable solution - the large Koi Inspection Bowl, and some 'bowl' it is.

If your ambitions are a little more modest and you were merely contemplating just the annual filtration cleanout, it always better to rinse out the medium in pond water or rainwater, so if you havent got a water butt for collecting all that lovely rain, Room for View are making one that will even look good on the front of the house.

News on the Water Butt

the Water Butt from Room for a ViewNo surprise then that their brand new Water Butt had been an instant success. Not only does it save water (160litres), but also it saves space compared to traditional style water butts. It is suitable for all types of garden and even very small spaces as it can attach to a wall. It collects rain water from the down pipe via a diverter kit which comes as standard. The Water Butt does not overflow, the system re-diverts the water down the pipe.

As with their Finia™ water feature reservoirs, the Water Butt uses 100% recycled and recyclable material, so again, an eco friendly product.

Priced sensibly at £120 RRP, this product should be a runaway success. Available from our online shop under Water Feature Accessories or CLICK HERE.

Large Koi inspection bowl or quarantining tank

Room for a View Koi inspection or quarantine tankYou may have bitten the bullet and decided now is the time for the 'big cleanout'. Room for a View's large Koi bowl/pond is the ideal solution to the problem of where
to put your fish when cleaning your main pond and for all situations
which require them to be separated from their main habitat.

Using 5mm thick plastic to ensure stability, 1.2 m deep, 1.8m  wide and
holding up to 2300 litres (505GALLONS) of water our Koi bowl is large enough to keep
several fish. It is also perfect for dipping Koi or anaesthetising prior to
treatment or medication, also for quarantining  when introducing new
Koi from a dealer. If you intend artificially stripping Koi of their eggs or sperm then
separation is recommended and so ideally for brood stock prior to
spawning.

At a retail price of £400 delivered it may seem expensive for the average pond keeper, but I would suggest that it was something that Koi clubs and Pond Keeping Societies could 'club' togther and buy one for the membership, or Water Garden and Aquatic retailers could hire one out to customers.

Finia water feature reservoirs come in 4 different sizes

Finia water feature reservoirs are the essential ingredient in the most reliable 'pebble pool' water features. They have a large tank volume
and are designed to cope with incredible weight and of water features that demand large amounts of water to be effective. Finia also gives
you the choice to have a raised feature (round versions only), being
very strong and stable above ground as well as below ground. Even the smallest is capable of withstanding 150kg
whilst freestanding.

The lid has a separate hatch for access to the pump, so there is no need to
remove your water feature to replace or maintain
the pump.  Each reservoir has a recess in its surround in which to run the pump cable. When
installed in the ground this allows the pump cable to be hidden away
for a tidy finish. All these products are availble in the online shop under Water Feature Accessories.
