Pots, Bubblers and Spitters Class

Are you interested in a water feature but short on space? Perhaps you're not interested in the naturalistic pond style and prefer something a little more modern. Bubbling pots and spitters are a great option. You'll be surprised to know just how easy and economical this type of water feature can be. Whether it's an overflowing pot, a shallow pool with a bamboo spigot, or a series of spitters, you'll learn how, and what you need to do it.

We'll cover how to clean your skimmer and bio-filter, draining and cleaning the pond, and maintaining your UV sterilizer. This class is a must for anyone with a pond or water feature.
