The secret to, Controlling Algae In A Pond, lies in the proper usage of beneficial bacteria. Beneficial bacteria are microorganisms that occur naturally in our water gardens, streams, ponds and hybrid koi ponds for pond algae control. The beneficial pond bacteria are responsible for maintaining crystal clear healthy water; break down organic waste - in the form of sludge, and breaks down ammonia - from fish waste. There are several commercial brands of beneficial pond bacteria available on the market today to help with Pond Algae Control, so let me explain which bacteria to use to control pond algae: When, Where, Why and How, not necessarily in that order.
I will be repeatedly using the terminology, BENEFICIAL POND BACTERIA, because it is important for us to get it across to everyone that the bacterium we use is BENEFICIAL and more importantly to let you know that there is some bacteria on the market that is manufactured & designed for septic tanks. This bacteria product is NOT for your pond! The bacterium that you can find at the local hardware store for dirt-cheap prices, is packaged for septic tank usage and is not always pathogen free and in turn is NOT how to control algae in a pond!
Wouldn't it be awful to be adding a bacterium to your pond that contained e. coli? Many people ask us, "What pond chemical or what fish pond chemical should I use to clean up my pond?" We only suggest using pond water treatments that have been DESIGNED FOR PONDS with specific, organic enzymes and beneficial bacteria to help you maintain crystal clear water in your pond. Make the right choice and only purchase high quality beneficial pond bacteria for "algae control". Not all pond bacteria products are created equally! We have several different pond bacteria products that are DESIGNED FOR PONDS and their specifc needs.
Beneficial Pond Bacteria
My Pond Store Brand Beneficial Bacteria has an All Season label that has become our staple bacteria product used across America tomaintain balance and crystal clear water in water gardens, Koi ponds, and lakes. We recommend using this dissolvable bacteria in your pond on a weekly basis to ensure optimal water quality and clarity throughout most of the year. Add this beneficial bacteria to your pond WEEKLY even when your pond looks it's best. One of the most common made mistakes that pond owners make is to stop adding their routine water treatments when the pond looks amazing! Just because your pond looks great doesn't mean you stop adding your water treatments! Crystal Clear water doesn't necessarily mean you have Pristine Clean Water! Keep your routine and add this powdered bacteria to your pond weekly!
For OPTIMAL Results we suggest sprinkling this powdered bacteria around the perimeter of your waterscape, broadcasting some of the powder out into the middle of the pond and in front of your skimmer or pump intake that leads to your biological filter. The bacteria you sprinkle around the perimeter of the pond and that is broadcasted out to the middle of the pond will immediately dissolve and sink to the bottom of the pond and work on the debris that typically plagues the bottom ends of most ponds.
For OPTIMAL Water Quality, use this product in conjunction with My Pond Store Brand Liquid Bacteria. |
Cold Temperature Bacteria
My Pond Store Brand Cold Temperature Bacteria is specifically designed for ponds in cooler climates and for our clients that experience extreme winters! We suggest switching to our cold temperature beneficial bacteria when water temperatures move below 60 degrees. Our cold temperature bacteria thrives in COLD WATER conditions and can be used in ponds that are experiencing icy conditions as long as over all water temperatures don't drop below 42 degrees! Use this product throughout the winter months to help manage undesirable build up across the bottom of your pond!
