Pond Module

The Pond Part Farm ponds Natural ponds Storm Water features Ornamental Water Features

How does a Pond Work Water Sediment Air

Water Quality Nutrients the most important issue The source of most problems you hear

Algae Growth Water Nutrients Light The right temperature

Algae Control Remove one of: Water Nutrients Light The right temperature

Aquatic Weeds Navigational problem Unsightly Odors

Aquatic Weed Control Advise nutrient reduction Carp – permit required Winter dredging – permit probably required Chemical control – requires a license (category 5a) – don’t make Recommendations

Questions Turtles/snakes and birds Oh My! Green water Cloudy water Leaks Skeeters

Animals Visitors Design changes – elevation Netting Reality check snails examine your plant material Fish goldfish koi others be careful with exotic species

Green Water Emergency Chemical flocculation Dyes Poisons Patience Long Term Better practices Resignation-Adaptation Give up or change the design Planting

Cloudy Water Emergency Filters Flocculation Patience Planting

Skeeters Moving water Fish Dunks

Chemical Recommendations Don’t make any! Most all aquatic formulations require applicators permit Recommend that they ask to see the permit – Category 5A
