Koi Water Garden has been at the forefront of high quality pump and filtration supply and installation throughout our 30 years of operation.  

Many core elements of specialist filtration design and practices used today were pioneered by us many years ago. Our high specification installations, from small filter chambers up to purpose built filter rooms, are second to none and often include self maintaining drum filters, moving beds, back up pond and air pumps, inlet and outlet manifolds and all installed using high quality pressure grade pipework.
