Greetings!

It looks like the first frost for the Front Range is just around the corner! Now is the time to get your customer's water feature ready for the colder temps and change of season ahead. It's also a great time to plan out your offseason training, see the article below about the upcoming Aquascape Academy dates.

In this month's newsletter we also have 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.

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.

In response to the ongoing and rapidly changing international tariff environment Aquascape announced a temporary surcharge on their products. Beginning August 1, 2025, True Pump began adding this temporary 5% surcharge to all invoices for any Aquascape products purchased (including liner). Aquascape's goal is to keep this surcharge in place only until the tariff situation stabilizes. Once things settle down, they will move forward with updated pricing that reflects a more predictable cost structure.

We appreciate your understanding and continued partnership as we work through these challenges together.
