Let me explain the reasoning why Natural Water Gardens is not involved in Aquascape Designs inc. (ADI) Certified Aquascape Contractors (CAC) program be on 2006.
AdI’s CAC program had merit in my opinion at one time. It’s the opinion of Natural Water Gardens (NWG) to terminate the CAC program from our company, In order to be a CAC we are required to only install ADI products, that program is not in best interest of this company or our clients. 60% of NWG business is remodeling and up dating water creations. Many of these have other products from many different companies; we will reinstall or modify anything to create a quality working system without the restrictions from one company.
I have been involved in managing a fish hatchery, building earthen ponds and creating water feature for over 30 years and found many products of equal, better and lesser quality than that required to be a CAC. Natural Water Gardens will use the best materials needed, not what one manufacturer requires us we have to use.
Natural Water Gardens is a member of National Association of Pond Professionals (NAPP) (ADI does not recognize this organization); this organization evaluates companies and certifies then in the ability of installing all products from all companies. They do not limit where or who you are required to purchase product from. NAPP is independent from any company selling product.
That is the reason we will not sign an agreement requiring us to only install there (ADI) products be on 2006. NWG has always been in ADI top 30 customers and a CAC from 2000-2005 out of 40,000 and now they do not recommend Natural Water Gardens as an installer.
We only create the finest quality water features using the best products for each application.
Happy Pondering!
