Pond Treatment And Care

By Roland Stockwell


There are many reasons why people like having a pond or lake on their property. From an ascetic perspective, it's a beautiful water feature. Some people stock their pond and enjoy fishing in the pond. Still others also use it to feed the livestock that roam around the property. For whatever reasons you have a pond, keeping the water clean and healthy is a top priority.

When thinking about pond water treatment, it is important to get a general idea about the approximate number of gallons of water inside your water feature. To do this, multiply the length, width and depth by 7.5 and you will have a general idea of how many gallons there are in your pond.

A natural product called AquaSpherePRO is one product that is an easy way to have the pond water maintained. This is a natural product containing a special mix of bacteria that eats away at the excess solids and organic materials in the pond and is contained in biodegradable balls or spheres.

You simply toss in enough spheres to compensate for the approximate number of gallons in your pond, and the AquaSpherePRO begins working immediately to keep water fresh and balanced. You cannot over-treat with this product so if you toss in a bit more sphere than you need, the water conditions will still be fine. There also is no mixing involved and you just toss the spheres gently into your pond or lake. In addition, this product is veterinarian approved and will not harm people, pets, wildlife or fish.

The fish species selected for stocking should be those that work well with your pond conditions, like the depth and temperature of water the year throughout because this is needed when stocking a pond with fish. Fish species of different kinds may not survive in very cold water or in hot water temperatures, and this is observed in different fish species.

The fish stocked will need also to be fed, thus it is very important that all aspects regarding the fish are known and these include liming of the pond, fertilizing, and also harvesting. It is better to consult with the fish experts about the options to have and also regarding the care to be taken with the different fish species.
