The Russell Watergardens Brand
A Name Should Mean Something
A brand isn't a logo, a slogan or a product name.
It's the expectation you have when you see that name.
At Russell Watergardens & Koi, we want our name to represent something very simple:
You can trust us to help you make a good decision.
That means providing quality products, knowledgeable advice, clear information and customer service that continues after the sale.
It's a reputation we've worked to earn since 1997—and one we never take for granted.
Trust Is Earned
You can't simply declare a brand trustworthy.
You have to earn it.
You earn it by answering questions before someone buys.
By providing enough information for customers to understand what they're purchasing.
By recommending the right product instead of simply the more expensive one.
By standing behind what you sell.
By being available when someone needs help installing, operating or maintaining it.
And by designing products that continue serving the customer long after the transaction is complete.
That's what the Russell Watergardens name is intended to represent.
What You Can Expect From Russell Watergardens
Products Designed With a Purpose
We don't develop products simply to add another item to a catalog.
Russell Watergardens products begin with a problem we believe can be solved better.
That may mean making a filter easier to clean, making a pump easier to access, capturing debris before it enters the rest of the system, simplifying installation or giving customers more freedom in how they design their water feature.
Innovation should provide a meaningful benefit to the person using the product.
Information You Can Actually Use
We believe customers should understand what they're buying.
That's why we provide detailed product information, installation instructions, educational articles, videos, calculations and explanations of how different pond and water-feature systems work.
We don't expect you to simply take our word for it.
We want you to understand the difference.
Help Before the Sale
Choosing pond and water-feature equipment can be complicated.
Pump flow, plumbing size, filtration, pond volume, waterfall dimensions, elevation and the type of water feature you're building can all affect what equipment is appropriate.
We're here to help you sort through those decisions.
Sometimes that means recommending one of our products.
Sometimes it means telling you that you don't need something.
Helping you make the right decision is more important than simply making the sale.
Support After the Sale
Our responsibility doesn't end when your order ships.
If you have questions during installation, need help understanding how something works or need assistance maintaining your system, we're here to help.
We design our products so owners can understand and maintain them—and we provide the information and support to help make that possible.
Products We Stand Behind
We care about the materials, construction and performance of the products that carry the Russell Watergardens name.
We test our designs, continue improving them and pay attention to what customers tell us after they've been installed.
Because our name is on them.
And that matters to us.
Customer Independence Is Part of Our Brand
There's another principle behind the Russell Watergardens name that may be less common:
We want you to need us less.
We want to give you the equipment, information and confidence to take care of your own pond or water feature whenever practical.
We don't consider it a disadvantage when a customer can perform routine maintenance without hiring someone.
We consider that good product design.
We don't design products to keep customers dependent on us.
We design them to help customers succeed without us.
More Than Products
We sell pond and water-feature equipment, but the relationship with our customers has always been about more than products.
It's about sharing what we've learned.
It's about answering the question that doesn't fit neatly into a product description.
It's about helping someone who's never built a pond understand what they're about to do.
It's about helping an experienced contractor solve an unusual design problem.
And sometimes it's simply about answering the phone and helping someone figure out what's going wrong with their water feature.
That's the customer-service culture Russell Watergardens was built around.
