Keeping pond water clean and healthy is a challenging task. Often, pond owners will use pond treatments to do the job for them. However, there are other ways to keep your pond clear and healthy that you can do yourself without spending any money on chemicals or specialized equipment. In this blog post, we’ll discuss three of these methods:
Aeration
This is the first method pond owners should consider when keeping pond water clean and healthy. Aerating the water is the process of introducing oxygen into the water to remain clear, clean, and free from harmful bacteria for an extended time. To aerate your pond, you will need to install an aeration system, including pond pumps and pond aerators.
Filtration
Another treatment method is filtration. This helps keep the water clean by trapping dirt, debris, algae growth in filters so that they can’t enter your pond or come in contact with pond fish. This system works best for ponds whose owners want to feed their fish food containing high levels of proteins. The filtration system traps the larger pond particles, allowing smaller organisms to be consumed by pond fish and, in turn, helping you avoid having a pond full of dead pond fish!
Ultraviolet sterilization
Another method is ultraviolet sterilization. This helps keep the pond clean by breaking down and destroying harmful algae cells. The UV rays help kill the genetic material of these organisms so they can’t reproduce, which also prevents them from multiplying in your pond.
Pond water treatment is an essential part of pond maintenance. Many methods can be used to keep pond water clean and healthy, such as filtration, ultraviolet sterilization, and aeration.
