> I have worked with Aquascape Inc on several projects in the metro Chicago area over the last 10 years.  They have one of the most create design teams in the nation and are capable of installing any size water feature imagineable.

**★★★★★ — Soergel Landscapes, Aquascapes, Florascapes, March 2013**

> I have been using Aquascape products, attending their seminars and trainings, and learning from them since 2000.  I was certified by them in 2003 as a Certified Aquascape Contractor.  I am honored to be associated with them.  When I first saw their info in a catalog, I had already given up on water features.  I reluctantly attended their seminar, got inspired, and fell in love with water features.  I love designing and building waterfalls, ponds, and water gardens.  Even more, I love how happy I make my clients using Aquascape products and methods.  Look at their pictures for inspiration, then use their locator to find a Certified Aquascape Contractor near you.

**★★★★★ — Acorn Ponds & Waterfalls, Feb. 2013**

> Aquascape Inc. is the largest pond building company in the world and has trained more than 300 Certified Aaquascape Contractors to be the best at installing ponds and watergardens. I am one of those trained contractors and I can say that Aquascape has helped me become good at what I do while teaching me what they have learned with their experience. They help others by sharing info. They have good customer service. They have top employees in all areas of service whether it is construction, human relations, customer service or social media exports. It is always a pleasure working with everone at Aquascape Inc.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Still waiting for imfomation on the return imfomation.** *(in Product Questions)*

The wrong product was sent. And the invoice says the one I ordered. I have sent the photo of it. I just want what I ordered.

A: Hello Randy,

The fountain kit has shipped, today.  Your FedEx tracking ID is 448898284976

Thank you for your patience with this issue.

Best Regards,

Mike

**Q: Color?** *(in Product Questions)*

What color is this?, Is this Sandstone tan or.

A: The Aquascape Faux Rock lid was designed to mimic the textures of real sandstone and the color is similar to rock found in most sandstone landscape applications.

Thank you for your question!

**Q: IonGen probe erosion** *(in Product Questions)*

I have this but over the year only one probe eroded and not the other.  Is this a problem with the control panel?

A: Hello kemrt23,
Usually when this occurs there is a water flow issue around the probe and the ions are not able to transfer into the water. Please check your setup and make sure there is adequate water flow around your probe. Depending on how your probe is setup, either in the chamber or placed in a skimmer filter, you may need to make adjustments to your pump, plumbing, or filtration setup. Below I have included a helpful product video.
If you need additional assistance,
you can visit our support site to submit a help ticket -

Sincerely,
Aquascape Customer Support

**Q: Performance curve** *(in Product Questions)*

Do you have the performance curve for this pump? Thanks

**Q: How big is the pump and hose** *(in Product Questions)*

A: The AquaRock Fountain Kit comes with a 90 GPH water pump (item \# 91024) and 20-inches of 3/4-inch braided vinyl tubing.

Thank you for the question and your interest in our fountains!

**Q: Area calculation for 2" - 3" black river pebbles** *(in Product Questions)*

Can you give me the formula for computing the area calculation for 2" to 3" black river pebbles? For example, how many square feet does a 20 lb bag cover?

A: Each stone measures approximately 2" - 4" diameter and covers approximately 1.5 sq. ft. of surface.

Thank you for the question!
