Maintaining a beautiful pond or water garden and being eco-friendly doesn't have to be complicated or difficult. Incorporating energy efficient pond products is one of the easiest ways to embrace "green," eco-friendly practices. There are many products available for your pond that are energy efficient or don’t require traditional energy usage at all! Become an energy-wise pond keeper with the following simple tips:
Monitor energy use and replace energy-wasting products
Know how much electricity your current pond products consume. To check current energy consumption, use the Kill A Watt PS. Simply plug your pumps, filters, lights and other pond products into the Kill A Watt PS and it will assess energy use while the built-in surge protection keeps them safe. It will show you how much energy these items consume. The Kill A Watt PS also calculates cost and forecasts electrical expenses by week, month, and year. Once you determine the "energy hogs," replace older, inefficient products with newer more energy efficient models. For pumps, consider the powerful and energy-efficient
Cobalt Pond Cascade Professional Water Garden Pump. For lighting, use low voltage lighting such as
LED Lights.

solar energy. These products are smart choices because they are environmentally friendly and also eliminate costs involved with outdoor electrical work.
