Water Maintenance

Healthy water is a result of a balanced eco-system. A healthy pond is one that receives proper amounts of sun and shade, sustains adequate plantlife, and accommodates fish. Chemical water treatment of ponds should be completed using biological treatments that are formulated specifically to accommodate plants and fish.

Tap water needs to be treated so that it is safe for fish and plants. Tap water contains chlorine and metals which can be poisonous to natural habitats. Use a preparation chemical such as Laguna's Water Prep to remove these elements. Other factors conducive to pond water health are maintaining proper levels of phosphate, ammonia and nitrate. An excessive level of any one of these three pollutants is detrimental to aquatic life. Laguna's Phosphate Control and Pond Detox help reduce these pollutants naturally.
