"Spring Awakens: Essential Pond Care & Maintenance for a Healthy Season Ahead"

You may have noticed the recent change in the weather. Nature is waking up for the spring, the flowers are starting to bloom, the trees are starting to blossom, and your pond is starting to come to life as well. Winter takes its toll on the pond, heavy rainfall lowers the pond's KH/PH buffer system, which in turn damages the pond's natural defenses against the various pollutants that enter, causing algae blooms, toxic ammonia build up and cloudy water. Additionally, the pond is often left alone over winter, meaning that the sediments have had time to accumulate.

These sediments, left unchecked, will fuel additional algae growth and, as the sun increases, will start to consume oxygen. Especially important at this time of year is ammonia reduction. As the weather warms up, so does the fishes metabolism however, bacteria that break down the ammonia can be slow to react, so it is vital to make sure that we make sure that we take care of the fishes health. It is essential at this time of year to protect the pond and ensure it is in optimal condition to be enjoyed for the nice Easter ahead. Our experience, combined with our partners at OASE
