Hello Tim,

After the blizzard and then last weekend's crazy wind storm we're ready to settle in to some nice spring weather with warm days and maybe a few rain showers mixed in. A reminder too. now that spring is here we are open on Saturdays from 10am - 3pm for your shopping convenience. And you can always shop our web site any hour of the day at www.truepump.com!

In this month's newsletter we have a great article about a young pond builder, the latest info on Pondemonium, a product update and this month's Aquascape video.

Happy Pondering,

The True Pump Team

What do Greg Wittstock and Cesar Burgos have in common? They both built their first pond at the tender age of 12 years. Greg was motivated to create a new home for his pet turtle, Samson. Cesar had a love of fish and wanted to explore outdoor fish keeping. Both are paving their own journey in the pond industry.

Lucky for Cesar, Greg had already started his YouTube channel when Cesar was 10 years old, which of course, caught the young boy’s eye. He also started watching Ed the Pond Professor and saw Brian at TEAM Aquascape, which further propelled him into the world of water gardening.



Cesar’s first pond was four feet by four feet, with a depth of 12 inches. Since the pond wasn’t deep enough to overwinter fish in the Chicago area, he brought his finned friends indoors to live in his fish tank. Cesar first learned about goldfish, which led him to study koi and the desire to keep fish as outdoor pets.
