Reasons to Clean your 30029 Pond

Some ponds are never cleaned and the ponds and its residents survive very well. However, a majority of ponds are established with large fish populations or are established in locations where the koi pond is inundated with a great deal of debris over the year. Regardless if you start out with just a few aquatic animals initially, in a balanced aquatic environment they will breed to the point that the number of fish will overcome the environmental limits of your pond and maintenance levels.

Cleaning during the autumn months helps eliminate wastes in the lower levels of the pond which may become anaerobic if sufficient oxygen is not forming, generating a breeding supply for harmful bacteria, or which may decompose, releasing ammonia and other harmful pollutants that can be trapped under the water shelf. The continual build-up of these toxins can create fish kills during the winter. While maintaining a clearing in the ice over the cold season will assist with alleviating the accumulation of toxins, pond maintenance before the beginning of winter will help eliminate the overall potential for problems.

Maintaining the pond in the warmer months may assist in reducing infections and parasites that often occur as the pond and its biology heat up for the summer, as well as reduce the overall availability of nutrients that stimulate algae growth.
