Founded in Southern California in 1965, by Edward and Lisa Uber, Uber's Lilypond Supply company began as a local supplier of pond products to Van Ness Water Gardens. Van Ness Water Gardens was owned by Theodore Uber, Edward Uber's father. The company's first product was a bobby float valve specially designed to keep the water level of your pond constant. This meant adding fresh water with chemicals like chlorine was done in much lower amount allowing the pond to maintain a better balance. There were still some ponds, however, which chronically had problems with floating algae (green water). Ed had by this time obtained a degree in engineering and began working on a solution to this problem. He invented the Lilypond Filter. It not only provided filtration, it contained activated charcoal and carbon as well as other ingredients beneficial to healthy plant and fish life. This filter became popular enough that other water lily and koi dealers began to carry it for their customers. However there were still ponds that had problems maintaining a good balance. The problem was that after time a layer of waste products (plant and fish waste) would build up at the bottom of the pond. These waste products provided the perfect fertilizer for algae growth. So Ed began to work on how to solve the buildup problem. His solution? The Lilyjet Pond Sweep. This ingenious device, powered only by the water pressure from your garden hose, vacuums out these waste products and conveniently places them on your garden or lawn. These waste products that were once the perfect fertilizer for your algae problem now become the perfect fertilizer for your lawn or garden! Other products have been available over the years, from underwater pumps to fountain heads, however the Lilypond Filter and Lilyjet Pond Sweep have always remained the core of the business. Formerly only available through retail water lily and koi distributors, these products are now available direct to the customer through this web site.
