their pond assets!
How can I improve water quality in my pond?
There are six main ways to improve water quality, as outlined below:
1. Design opportunities -- often, the original design did not take into account a factor that is negatively impacting the pond. For example, runoff from a neighboring pasture may be adding excessive nutrients to your pond. Our pond prescription process is designed to capture each situation that is negatively impacting your pond water quality. We can then provide recommendations consistent with your budget.
2. Aeration -- adding oxygen to your water increases the habitat for natural bacteria. Natural bacteria eat the excess nutrients in the water and thus improve the ecosystem.
3. Add natural bacteria -- aeration usually cannot do the job on its own, so natural bacteria can be added. Our system adds helpful bacteria, in the billions, via a system that continuously feeds your lake or pond with helpful bacteria. The bacteria we sell are 100% natural and safe for humans, animals, and fish.
In addition to reducing excess nutrients, other benefits of bacteria include:
- improved water clarity
- break down of organic sludge accumulated at the pond's bottom
- reduced odors
4. Add rooted plants -- water plants need nutrients in order to grow. Accordingly, adding these plants is a natural way to improve the ecosystem.
5. Add fish -- certain fish help the ecosystem by completing the food chain within the body of water.
6. Add chemicals -- there are several chemicals on the market that make all kinds of claims. These are all short term solutions, because they do nothing to eliminate the source of the problem. So, while chemicals are the fastest method for providing a nice looking pond, they do nothing for permanent control and actually cause permanent damage. Additionally, adding chemicals to your water cannot have a positive impact on fish or humans! We do not recommend this "solution". In selective situations, chemicals can be a method to gain control of a pond with severe needs. Please contact us before adding chemicals.
