At first when I put it in the pond, it was fantastic! Then the outside of the filter clogged up and the fountain stopped. This happened every half an hour until I could get in the pond to clean the blossoms etc that were falling in there. Then After cleaning the outside of the filter again I turned on the power and it blew off the top. So back in I went and put some plumbing tape around the bottom of the screw-in bit and it worked perfectly until 2 days later and the top blew off again. More plumbing tape but not a good result. I would not recommend this fountain.

it is good to have a local outlet though retail shop front and company structure I beleive lacks in human contact..ultimately making transaction just that a transaction devoid of any organic experience.

Thank-you for your honest feedback, David. We do understand that the new format and store set-up is not for everyone. In regards to human contact, our set-up allows for staff to help customers more readily, rather than focusing on refilling stock levels. If you ever have anything you are wanting to ask, or just want to have a talk, feel free to grab a coffee in store and chat over a drink when a staff member is free, we are always happy to do so. - Aqua Gardening.

Ordered a small heat mat. It was delivered within 2weeks of purchasing. It did come folded up and It doesn't produce much warmth ( not sure if internals got damaged ) overall relatively happy with the product just didn't think it was good to be folded

Hello, Thanks for your honest feedback - we do appreciate it, as it lets us know areas to improve. The heat mats provide about 5-10C above ambient temperature, which can be a small variation to distinguish, but if you do believe it is a little less than this, please don't hesitate to contact us at support@aquagardening.com.au with your order number. We will definitely take the advice of folding the mat on board and pass it to the warehouse team. Happy gardening in the meantime. - Aqua Gardening

Aqua Gardening itself was fairly helpful but not knowledgeable about their products and products took quite a time to be delivered. On needing to return the product due to it not working as stated, I had to ring twice to get the return slip emailed to me.

Unfortunately, with your requirements, and through troubleshooting we could not make it work for you.

When my order arrived the lid was loose and one third of the contents was in the plastic wrapping. Don’t know if it was your fault or the shipping company. Also I am still waiting for the rest of my order. Could you give me some idea how Long it will be. Thanks

Hey William We are sorry to hear your order arrived damaged, we do our utmost to ensure they are packed with care but unfortunately when we dispatch to the freight provider we can no longer control the care of the package. Please send some photos of the damaged package through to our email at support@aquagardening.com.au so we can follow up and find a suitable solution for you. It looks like all of your packages should have been delivered. Our team will be in touch via email with further instructions on how to get this resolved.

What I really wanted was a ready to go system. Instead so had to put one together and am still in throws of getting it working. It would be far better to buy a kit than the company expecting I already knew what would be needed. Josh helped me out but I’ve since learned a lot of things like an adjustable flow valve and adjustable slope that would make a kit and instructions a useful thing.

Shipping costs were ridiculous. It cost me as much to get something from America as it did from Aqua from Sydney to Melbourne! Won’t be using Aqua again the shipping makes it cost prohibitive.

Hi Emily, I'm sorry you were surprised with the shipping costs, but this is always a cost we show you upfront before the purchase is made. In particular, for your bulky and heavy order, we need to charge shipping accordingly as it is expensive for us too! Your order of almost 25kg was sent from Brisbane to Melbourne, and the costs are high, however much cheaper than from the US to Australia for a 25kg product, I hope you agree? Happy gardening, we're sure you will do well with the products you purchased, Chris

Help was available at the front door upon arrival. A new thing. In offering the help it was evident that the person offering the help wanted to be right. Not necessary to have this approach as said person was knowledgeable and helpful in the end. Overall an okay experience.

Hey Matt, We understand that this concept is not for everyone but we wanted to place the focus on customer success, expand our warehouse so we can keep more stock on hand so our community don't have to wait as often, while keeping pricing competitive and stable. Now we can spend more time with each of our customers who want to chat through any gardening project troubleshooting or future dreams in-store, we even have the new coffee machine so you can have a coffee with the team! For the people that know what they’re after, the ordering can be done from the comfort of home so it's just a case of popping down at a time that suits, walking to the counter with your click & collect number to be handed over to you in a jiffy. We know the Show Room concept isn’t suited for all and many prefer a tactile experience and to browse shelves, but this change allows us to hold a lot more stock so we can hold a broader range of products and larger quantities so there are less delays and chance things will be out of stock for our community. All our products are available to see online and you can always ask for more information if you think the product page is lacking anything as this is somethign we are continuing to work on. Thank you for providing this feedback, we appreciate all our community members who take time to give us feedback - good or bad, it gives us a chance to improve our services and without it we cannot grow! If you want to continue the conversation and provide us more feedback please send us an email to feedback@aquagardening.com.au and we can continue the conversation there.

Hey Francis, Sorry to hear that this is how you feel this way, our new concept intentions are to place the focus on our customers' success, expand our warehouse so we can keep more stock on hand so our community don't have to wait as often, while keeping pricing competitive and stable. This was all so we can spend more time with each of our customers who want to chat through any gardening project troubleshooting or future dreams in-store, we even have the new coffee machine so you can have a coffee with the team!

All our products are available to see online and you can always ask for more information if you think the product page is lacking anything as this is something we are continuously improving and expanding. Our Customer Success Team has expanded to have more people available to answer questions, give advice and troubleshoot with our community via email for all who can’t make it instore. We completely renovated our Show Room to give us space to sit down and talk to customers who want advice on their projects. Soon we will be offering a service to book time in with our team so you can be sure you will get that one-on-one chance with our team to get the advice you are after at a time that suits without being interrupted if the store gets busy. As we know sometimes it can be hard if there is a rush of customers when you are instore and the team have to balance this. The online side of things is for all our customers who know what they are after, can shop from the comfort of their home and get orders freighted or come instore and collect for a faster transaction, we are always here to give advice via email, phone or instore and we hope you can give the new concept a chance.

I have purchased online, over the phone, and in person from Aqua Gardening for a couple of years now, and up to my last purchase was very happy with the service I received. My last purchase was in person, driving up from northern NSW to pick up some heavy goods, as well as to take a closer look at one of the other products I intended to buy. Now with Covid-19, service seems to have taken a dive and I found the experience less than satisfactory, and include a couple of the reasons below... 1. When I asked the sales person if I could view one of the products prior to purchase, I was told that no viewing was allowed, and that I would have to rely on the photos on their web site. 2. I could not "buy" the products from the sales person at the counter, rather I was asked to purchase the order on the internet, either using my own smart phone, or one of the computers provided in the show room. Unfortunately, this ordering process took perhaps 40 minutes (where it should have taken 5 minutes), as the internet connection at the premises was unstable and the provided computers could not perform the task while I was there, and the online ordering software did not know how to reconcile an "in person pick-up" when I ended up using my own phone to place the order. Throughout this time, a salesperson was present, and unable to sort out the ordering issues in the system. He was also not particularly apologetic about the delays, and I felt some element of blame in his approach to me. Come on Aqua Gardening, I know you can do better than this. Peter.

Hey Peter, We understand that this concept is not for everyone but we wanted to place the focus on customer success, expand our warehouse so we can keep more stock on hand so our community don't have to wait as often, while keeping pricing competitive and stable. Now we can spend more time with each of our customers who want to chat through any gardening project troubleshooting or future dreams in-store, we even have the new coffee machine so you can have a coffee with the team! We are sorry that your experience was delayed due to technical issues, unfortunately sometimes internet issues and drop outs happens, and we are working strongly on solutions for this to ensure fast transactions instore. With the new concept the idea is that you can come instore when you need to troubleshoot project issues or ask questions about if or which products will work for them. For the people that know what they’re after, the ordering can be done from the comfort of home so it's just a case of popping down at a time that suits, walking to the counter with your click & collect number to be handed over to you in a jiffy. Again, I apologise for the issues that caused your experience to be so delayed and that you didn’t receive the appropriate service and communication from the team member. I will flag this with the team to ensure more initiative and understanding is shown in the communication and their approach with customers in the future. We had teething issues with the launch of the new concept but we hope we can show you in your next experience we are ironing out the kinks and are striving for the best! If you have any other feedback we would love to hear where you think we could improve. Send us an email at support@aquagardening.com.au and we can continue the conversation there. We appreciate all our community members who take time to give us feedback - good or bad, it gives us a chance to improve our services and without it we cannot grow!
