Reflections from Misericordia

We've had the opportunity to learn more about the water gardening history at Chicago's Misericordia Home and how Laguna has been able to contribute. We received some great feedback from Jeff Hudec at Misericordia about the success of their pond. See his message below:

We’ve had our pond for about 11 years now. It started as a pond about 100 gallons in size, and has expanded into one that now holds 1000 gals of water, ten Koi, two water turtles and one large Pleco.  Roughly 100 of our residents help to care for our pond on a weekly basis and almost all of the 600 residents who live at Misericordia have enjoyed viewing the pond at some point or other.

Just over a year ago, the Greco Gardens at Misericordia Home received a donation for our indoor Koi pond. The donation consisted of a Laguna Pressure Flo 1400 filter and a Max Flo 900 pump. Before receiving these items, I tried more pump and filter combinations from more pond companies than I care to remember and none of them worked very well or for very long. 

The Laguna products are superior in every imaginable way to every other filter/pump combination I’ve used to keep our pond clean and healthy. With minimal maintenance, these items have kept our 1000 gallon pond free of debris and crystal clear for over a year now.  The filter is easy to clean and requires little effort to maintain. The pump also runs smooth and with very little trouble.

I cannot recommend these products more or thank Michael Zmina more for donating them to us. Our Koi are much happier as are our resident workers who now can enjoy viewing the fish in crystal clear water year round.  Thank you once again.

Sincerely,
Jeff Hudec, Misericordia Home, Greco Gardens.

Misericordia Home loves their pond!
