Sight glass - The ideal solution for monitoring the water flow in pond systems

An efficient and well-maintained garden pond requires precise monitoring of the water flow and technical processes. Sight glasses are indispensable components of modern pond technology, allowing you to visually monitor the condition of the water and the function of your system. Whether in connection with pumps, filter systems or pipework - sight glasses offer clear insights into the processes and thus contribute to the efficiency and stability of your pond system.

Why sight glasses?

Viewing glasses are not only practical tools, but also offer numerous advantages that make them an important addition to any pond system:

• Visual control: allow you to directly monitor water flow, condition and possible contamination.
• Easy maintenance: The ability to detect problems such as blocked pipes or washed-in particles at an early stage makes maintenance much easier.
• Transparent functionality: They provide a clear view of critical components in your system, such as pumps and filters, without the need for disassembly.
• Robust construction: High-quality materials such as PVC or acrylic glass ensure a long service life and durability.
• Flexibility and versatility: sight glasses are compatible with most pond systems and can be customised.

With viewing glasses, you always have an overview of your pond technology and create the conditions for optimum water quality.

Areas of application for sight glasses

Viewing glasses are versatile and fulfil a variety of functions within pond technology:

• Filter systems: For checking the water flow and filter performance.
• Pump systems: Enable visual inspection of pump performance and water flow.
• Water treatment: Monitor the quality of the water in conjunction with chemical or biological cleaning systems.
• Pipework: For visual inspection of pipework for blockages or other problems.
• Decorative water elements: sight glasses are also used in fountains and water features to monitor the condition of the system.

Thanks to their versatility, sight glasses are suitable for both small garden ponds and large installations.
