CLEANING
YOUR POND NATURALLY
Natural water quality improvement is
largely dependent on teams of beneficial microorganisms. One group starts a process,
which is continued by others. It has been shown in scientific research that, even
in natural lakes, essential members of these microbial teams are not always present.
Time, location and the seasons will affect your pond often resulting in
bad smells and muck buildup. This is the natural aging process which, if left
unchecked will rapidly deteriorate the quality of your pond or lake. Adding safe
and natural bacteria which feeds on organic matter will drastically improve your
pond.
 There
are two kinds of aquatic pollution: insoluble and soluble. Lakes accumulate
solids from dead plants and animal wastes. Soluble pollutants, from fertilizers,
erosion and seepage, add phosphorus and nitrogen - nutrients for algae and weeds.
The plants convert, by photosynthesis, inorganic carbon dioxide into organic material.
Dead plants form organic sludge, the accumulation of which results in oxygen depletion
and release of noxious pollutants such as ammonia and hydrogen sulfide. Phosphorus
is also liberated for reuse by plants. Oxygen can be reduced to levels causing
fish kills. The stress caused by poor water quality also reduces fish growth and
makes them more susceptible to diseases.
One very common aquatic weed
problem in ponds is filamentous algae. The presence can degrade water quality
and the enjoyment and value of your pond. Excessive algae growth, if left unchecked
can cause oxygen depletion as it decomposes either as a result of natural die-off
or herbicide or fertilizer applications. Early and regular control is important
to reduce the problems like muck and foul odors associated with filamentous algae.
Filamentous algae, also known as "pond scum," forms dense hair like
strands that can form thick floating mats. Its growth begins on submerged objects
on the pond bottom. As it grows, the algae gives off oxygen that becomes entrapped
in the mat of strands. This gives it buoyancy and causes it to rise to the surface
where it frequently covers large areas of the pond. Filamentous algae is often
a persistent problem because they reproduce by fragments, spores and cell division.
Treatment with beneficial bacteria can solve this problem.
