Pond substrate: For a strong foundation and clear water in your pond
Simple is how I like it, even when building a pond. Many people look up to the hassle of pumps and filters. That's why I introduce pond substrate: one solution for a healthy pond bottom. Like Bacta Clear, it makes pond maintenance easy. With pond substrate, you lay the foundation for clear water and strong plants, without complications.Pond substrate works simply. It provides a home for beneficial bacteria and support for your plants. Throw it on the bottom, and you're done. It provides natural purification, eliminating the need for filters. Plus, your plant roots are secure without rotting. Pond substrate keeps your pond naturally balanced, beautifully clear and healthy - easy and environmentally friendly.
CONVENIENCE AND BENEFITS FIRST
Our pond substrate is a gamechanger for any pond enthusiast. Because it has been washed multiple times, say goodbye to dirt and welcome clear water! Plus, it's heavier than your ex's excuses, so it stays right where you want it. And that porosity? Perfect for a filter party and lets your plants grow like they're in a spa.
OUR UNIQUE TOUCH
What makes our substrate so special is not just its superpower in filtration. It's a biological nightclub for beneficial bacteria that will make your pond brighter than your future. No more fiddly filters or pumps; our stone pellets do the heavy lifting for you. Really, it's like naturally giving your pond glasses for perfect visibility.
DURABLE AND QUALITATIVE
This substrate is not only a hero in the water; it is also made with the planet in mind. Extra-heavy quality and longevity mean less waste and more enjoyment. By choosing our substrate, you're contributing to a greener world, while your pond gets a big boost. It's like killing two birds with one stone, but kinder to the flies.
PRACTICAL INFORMATION
Ready to start your pond transformation? An 8-10 cm layer is what you need, which equates to about 2 bags per square meter. We'll make sure this precious cargo arrives to you quickly and efficiently, so you can get started creating your maintenance-free, clear pond paradise right away. And don't worry, the dimensions and all the details are on the package. As clear as our substrate, so to speak.

Great advice and material from Simon for our new pond.
So without any prior knowledge from us now for 3 years a picture in the garden and beautiful clear water 🍀🙏
Selma Grund
Great products and knowledgeable!
Ordered 6 x crab crab, these arrived somewhat short-winged and did not float well in the pond. But with some patience and attention they have now grown beautifully large and are flowering beautifully!
Lex Shoerds
For 30 years I have had a pond. Remodeled this season with some of my old pond water and plants.
Supplemented with clear pond suggestions from van der Velde. The result is better than I ever had: beautiful plants and so clear that I can see the fish down to the bottom.
Really great !!!
Janny Figee
A first patio pond is fun and exciting to experiment with. With the help of the excellent, involved support, the plants from the mini kit have come to life. Thanks to the addition of extra bacteria, I can now easily see a frog swimming in the mini pond. Thanks to Britt for her good advice. Also, the delivery is careful and fast. So far, a beautiful water lily has appeared twice, folding its leaves to go to sleep at night.Just following this cycle is beautiful.

Without too much experience, I began a sizable pond project. I bought Simon's book, and it helped me tremendously, both in construction and setup. Then I ordered the substrate, bacteria and all the plants, following as much as possible the method described in the book, for a natural pond without pumps and filters.
Tim Lommerse
Very knowledgeable advice, extensive web shop and above all, excellent customer service.
My supplied Cape Lily turned out not to be viable, without any problems a new one was then sent in no time.
Maria Janssen
Can't say that I super liked what I ordered from Van der Velde. Plants, food, ground cover, gravel.
Well packed, fast delivery, and excellent quality!
If you have not ordered anything I would do it quickly, you will not regret it.
Good luck !
