Who We Are

"Matthew Ball, proprietor of Clearwater Koi, is a dealer who takes the wellbeing of his koi stocks very seriously. He follows my protocol for the quarantine period koi are held in following their arrival in the UK from Japan. In addition, Matthew ensures koi welfare has the highest priority and his fish are continually monitored while being prepared for sale using my recommended methods and practises to ensure they are in the best of health. At Clearwater Koi, care extends into the after-sales service Matthew offers. Should any environmental or health issue develop in a customer's pond that is outside the scope of the pond side assistance Matthew can offer, he contacts my laboratory as he sees this as the professional way to fully support his customers...

...Clearwater Koi is not only an excellent dealership, Matthew is also offering koi keepers a very reliable service."
