Invigorate your Pond Bacteria and Clean Out the Muck
16 Jun 2013
Is your pond suffering from an unsightly muck and sludge buildup? This can be a somewhat common problem when there is an excess of rich nutrients or fertilizer that is running off into the water. Organic material from decaying plants, fish waste, and other organic items that break down naturally in your pond are the primary causes of out of control muck buildup.
Our Natural Pond Cleaner, Muck Doctor, and Excavate all work to add to and increase the already functioning beneficial bacteria that is present in every pond. This will help to increase the rate at which the organic material naturally breaks down, reducing buildup and getting rid of potential safety hazards around docks and shorelines. By limiting the amount of muck that’s in your pond, you are also helping to eliminate a good source of nutrition that algae and other aquatic plants thrive on.
Natural Pond Cleaner and Muck Doctor are very easy to apply to your pond. Excavate requires a much more rigid application. Our pond technicians will come out to your pond and create the optimal grid for their placement. However, if properly placed, Excavate will eat through 6 inches of muck in 30 to 90 days, giving a very fast turnaround for a clean pond. Once your pond is clear of the unwanted muck and sludge, simply apply a pond dye to create a beautiful body of water.
