At first, Jason was skeptical of underground suction grid technology. He thought it's not going to work. It's going to clog up. It's going to be a maintenance nightmare. But after testing it in his pond for five years, he found it worked well. Eric is at the water garden expo and sits down with Jason Steele and Mark Yori to discuss undergravel suction grid technology.

In this episode, they talk about:

• Undergravel suction grid technology – Jason's introduction to it and why he implemented it in his pond designs

• How Jason's perspective on pond maintenance changed after using underground suction grid technology

• The criticisms Jason received about undergravel suction grid technology from other pond builders

• The shortcomings of pond maintenance processes like muck-out pumps and muck-out gear, etc

• The benefits of advanced pond filtration systems

• How has undergravel suction grid technology worked out long-term in Jason's pond

• Recommendation of filtration system for a customer who is considering a pond but is worried about costs

• Different pond filtration methods that Jason has tested to improve pond care without annual cleanings

• The challenges faced by manufacturers in marketing products as practically maintenance-free
