Pond Treatments & Testing

How can I tell when my pond needs treatment?

Here are some indicators to watch out for:

1. Water quality issues: Sudden changes in your water, such as cloudiness, foul odours, or an increase in algae growth.
2. Fish behaviour changes: If your fish are behaving differently than usual, such as gasping at the surface for air or showing signs of stress, it could be a sign of poor water quality and the need for treatment.
3. Disease outbreaks: If you notice any signs of fish diseases, such as sores, lesions, or unusual behaviour, it is important to treat your pond to prevent the spread of infection.

How often should I use pond water treatments?

When it comes to using pond water treatments, the frequency at which you should apply them depends on various factors. These factors include the size of your pond, the condition of its water, and the specific treatment you are using.

It’s recommended to use pond water treatments on a regular basis to maintain the overall health and clarity of your pond.

Don’t over-treat your pond, as excessive use of pond water treatments can disrupt the natural balance and harm fish. Always start with the recommended dosage and adjust it based on the condition of your pond.

What is the best treatment for cloudy pond water?

There are several treatments that can help clear up cloudy pond water. One of these is our Clear Pond treatment. This is harmless to filters and all species of pond fish, plants and water using wildlife. It rapidly clears green, cloudy, dirty or milky water by clumping together suspended particles. This causes them to sink or become trapped in the filter.

What is the best treatment for green pond water?

Green pond water is typically caused by an overgrowth of algae. One option to remove it is our Green Away treatment. This naturally safe treatment rapidly clears green water caused by suspended algae.

How long does it take for water treatments to work?

The time it takes for pond water treatments to work varies depending on several factors, including the specific treatment product, the size of your pond, and the severity of the issue. Some treatments may show results within hours, while others may take a few days or weeks.
