Pond Maintenance Tips
- Know your pond: What surface size and how deep. Keep written records as to the time of applications, product used and results.
- Identify the problem weed or algae prior to choosing a treatment method or selecting products.
- Know the water restrictions before treatment with chemicals.
- Apply only aquatically labeled products according to recommended rates and timing.
- Re-application of most chemicals to weeds/algaes will be necessary to keep a healthy environment.
- Prevent fertilization from entering pond waters and low wind action on ponds from too much surrounding vegetation.
- Pond health benefits from the use of aerification in the form of Fountains or bubblers. Infusing air keeps water from stratifying providing more oxygenated water to aquatic life.
