Reasons to Clean your 31196 Pond

Some ponds are never cleaned and the ponds and its occupants survive very well. However, a majority of aquatic environments are created with large fish populations or are built in locations where the koi pond is inundated with a great deal of debris over the year. Even if you start out with just a few fish in the beginning, in a healthy aquatic environment they will breed to an unsustatinable level until the number of aquatic creatures will overcome the environmental balance of your pond and maintenance levels.

Removing debris in the fall helps eliminate wastes in the bottom of the aquatic environment which may become anaerobic if sufficient oxygen is not available, creating a breeding supply for harmful disease, or which may decompose, creating ammonia and other harmful pollutants that can be kept under the water shelf. The build-up of these toxins can create fish depopulation during the winter. While keeping a hole in the ice over winter will help with alleviating the buildup of toxins, pond maintenance before the beginning of winter will reduce the overall potential for issues.

Maintaining the pond in the spring may assist in reducing diseases and parasites that often occur as the aquatic environment and its accompanying biology warms up for the summer, as well as reduce the overall supplication of food that stimulate algae growth.
