Beneficial Pond Bacteria

26 Jul 2011

Typically, the word “bacteria” carries with it a rather negative connotation. Bacteria are connected with illness and disease, but rarely is the word attached to anything good. However, in the world of pond and lake maintenance, bacteria can be beneficial to the health and clarity of the water. 

A common problem with ponds and lakes is the development of muddy, mucky water – particularly around beach access areas or shorelines. This is caused by dead vegetation and other organic matter that breaks down on the pond floor. At Sanco Industries, we know the difficulties of maintaining and caring for your pond, especially when it comes to muck removal, but we’re here to help.
