Sell the ecosystem pond before you dig.
Show the homeowner their pond, in their own yard.
Draw it on their yard.
Take a photo at the consultation or bring in a sketch. Set the scale from a distance you measured and PondTools corrects for the camera angle. Draw the pond and its shelves where they belong, or describe it and let the AI draw it.
Size the ecosystem.
Buy This Pond picks the AquaSurge pump for the flow and head, matches the Signature Series skimmer and BioFalls filter to that flow and the pond’s gallons, and sizes the EPDM liner and underlayment from the dug shape.
Show them the finished pond.
Imagine turns the drawing into a photoreal image of their yard and an eight-second video, so the homeowner sees the water, rock and planting before anyone picks up a shovel.
The Aquascape parts list, sized from the plan.
Buy This Pond turns the design into an Aquascape ecosystem parts list with an MSRP on every line. The AquaSurge pump is chosen for the flow the pond needs at the head it runs against, the Signature Series skimmer and BioFalls filter are matched to that flow and the pond’s gallons, and the EPDM liner, underlayment and pipe are sized from the dug shape, shelves included.
It also sizes the six things kits leave out, from dechlorinator to a fill valve, and gives boulder and gravel ranges by the ton. Take the list to your distributor and quote with your own costs.

Questions from Aquascape contractors
Does PondTools choose Aquascape parts?
Yes. Buy This Pond lists Signature Series skimmers and BioFalls filters, AquaSurge pumps, EPDM liner and underlayment for the pond you drew, matched to its flow, head and gallons, with an MSRP on every line.
Can I quote with my own prices?
Yes. The list gives the parts and quantities at MSRP. Take it to your distributor and build the estimate with your own costs, the pond’s volume and dimensions, and your labor.
Can the homeowner see the pond before the build?
Yes. Imagine turns the design into a photoreal image of their yard and an eight-second video. Save different versions to show them options side by side.
Can I start from a sketch instead of a photo?
Yes. Import the drawing, set its scale from a known measurement and trace the pond. Add the depths and shelves, and you get the volume, the parts list and the 3D view.
Is PondTools made by Aquascape?
No. PondTools is an independent pond design app. It sizes Aquascape products because many contractors build with them.
