Ponds have a life cycle. Every
pond is an ecosystem that is impacted by the surrounding environment. The
scientific term is eutrophication, which is a natural process that occurs in an
aging lake or pond as that body of water gradually builds up its concentration
of plant nutrients. Artificial eutrophication occurs when human activity
introduces increased amounts of these nutrients, which speed up plant growth
and eventually deplete the lake of its animal life. With fertilizer
runoff, fish waste, decaying vegetation building up over time, every pond owner
faces this natural process. Algae blooms, excessive weed growth and
fish kills are typical symptoms of the problem.
Remember the acronym ABC as a natural
solution for creating a balanced pond eco-system, using these three elements of pond health:
Aerationis one of the keys to pond health.
Stagnant, thermally stratified, oxygen starved ponds can be revived simply by
adding aeration - an added circulation of oxygen - to the water. Tests have demonstrated a doubling of water clarity, healthy dissolved oxygen levels at all depths, reductions in ammonia, muck and elimination of thermal stratification.
Bacteria occur naturally in a pond. Their job is to digest decaying organic matter. Our strains of beneficial
bacteria and enzymes are able to consume many times the decaying matter as
those occurring naturally. By adding bacteria you reduce the nutrient load over
time resulting in a balanced pond eco-system with less algae
and weed growth. Clean.Clear.Blue - our blend of Bacteria, Flocculent and pureBlue
pond dye - provides a complete treatment in one handy container.
Colorant or Pond Dye is
a tool to limit sunlight in a pond. Adding shade to the pond starves weeds and algae of sunlight, in effect limiting their growth. Our pureBluepond dye offers
a brilliant natural blue while limiting the potential for weed and algae
growth.
Aeration is a key to pond health!Farm Ponds, Backyard Ponds, Retention and Irrigation Ponds all need aeration, which has proven to increase water clarity, reduce odors and muck and eliminate thermal stratification and stagnation.
Beneficial Bacteriahelps you reduce weeds and algae without the use of pond chemicals. Natural pond treatments balance the pond ecosystem so the potential for invasive weeds and excessive algae are reduced. Go ahead and swim, irrigate or just enjoy looking at your pond without any water use restrictions.
Colorant or Pond Dye is a great tool for any pond owner. Our PureBlue Pond Dye
uses a proprietary blend of water soluble natural dyes to give you a
brilliant natural blue color that is designed to limit the sun-in
effect limiting plant and algae growth.
