Greetings!

Though it's been a very mild winter, those of us who have been in Colorado for any length of time realize a cold spell or spring blizzard may still be just around the corner. Be sure to have the needed winter items on hand now to maintain your customer's water features!

In this month's newsletter we have an article on our NEW web site, information on Aquascape Academy (only 5 sessions left to go), a product update including a link to the 2026 Aquascape Catalog, and this month's Aquascape video.

Happy Pondering,

The True Pump Team

Aquascape Academy 2026 is bigger, better, and more specialized than ever. This year’s lineup, offered January through March, features sessions designed to meet the specific needs of water feature professionals at every stage of their journey. The foundational Water Feature Blueprint class has been reimagined as Opportunities with Water Features, setting the stage for an exciting year of learning for those just starting out.

In addition, choose from a wide range of courses, including Vision and Leadership, Advanced Design, Sales, and Construction, plus In-Field Construction Training for Foremen and Laborers. Aquascape also added a Social Media Bootcamp, exclusively reserved for Certified Aquascape Contractors, to help you master digital marketing and grow your business online.

From hands-on construction and maintenance training to advanced design strategies and leadership development, Aquascape Academy 2026 truly has something for everyone. Whether you’re beginning your journey or looking to sharpen your expertise as a seasoned water feature pro, you’ll find the perfect class to take your skills – and your business – to the next level.

Our new and improved web site is now up and running! We're really excited about the new format and the new features including real-time inventory quantities. If you had a customer account set up on our old site it will still be available on the new site. If you fill out the Account Registration page HERE we will set up your account with the appropriate discount level so you can see your net pricing also!

We received a truckload of Aquascape products last week (including some of the new items for 2026), so we are already stocked up and ready for the season ahead! We have a great selection of products to assist you as you take care of your water features during the winter season! Stop by soon for aerators, de-icers, pond gloves and much more.

Aquascape recently published their digital catalog for 2026, just click on the picture below to flip through it. New items for 2026 include redesigned wetland components, additional decorative fountain covers, a larger fountain light, and much more!

In this month's video, the Pond Professor explains pond evaporation. Great information especially for all of us that live in the dry, Colorado climate!
