Like just about Everything else in your home and garden, a pond will require a certain amount of regular maintenance to stay in top condition. In other words, you will need to clean the pond and care for it on a regular basis. Garden Ponds usually need one major cleansing sometime in the spring, while the days are still cool, and depending on your choices in plants and fish and other live pond elements in the water.
The whole job of spring cleaning depends on having the right tools and these days that means having a good pond vacuum.
You want to start, of course, by skimming all the collected debris off the surface of the pond. Then you can use the pond vacuum to clean up the debris off the bottom of the pond. Watch out for the fish! Use the vac to pull off the accumulated algae from the edges of the pond and make sure to clean especially well around the pump intake.
After you have finished cleaning out the bottom of the pond, the water will probably be a bit cloudy, so let the filters do their work before you change them out. This is also the time to remove the pump and clean and inspect it thoroughly, according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
The next thing you will need to think about in the garden pond cleaning process where you're getting the “clean” water you're going to use to replace half of the existing pond water. Fresh water promotes better oxygen absorption but you have to remember that any water from public supplies will probably contain chemicals and treatments that will be harmful to your fish and plants.
This is why you should always test the water for pH and you should also use the recommended treatments for removing chloramines and other harmful contaminants before adding it to the pond. While half of the water is out of the pond, this is also the perfect time to clean the exposed rocks and pond features to remove any buildup of algae or unwanted growths.
Yearly garden pond cleaning is a great way to make sure that all conditions in the pond are perfect for all of the life in and around the water throughout the whole pond. This is also the perfect time to make any upgrades to the pond or to add new plants and features in your continuous efforts to always make your pond into the perfect garden feature.
