Koi Pond Maintenance

06 May 2013

Large ponds can be tricky to treat.  With such a large amount of space to take care it is important to know how much product is being used and what kind of products as well.  Maybe the biggest pain in treating a large pond area is the amount of product that has to be used stressing the importance that the right products are being used for the right thing.  Just as large ponds can be difficult to treat for certain reasons; small ponds can also offer challenges as well.  Small ponds, such as Koi ponds have the need to be treated just as large ponds need to be treated.

Koi pond maintenance can be tricky because some products that are used on large areas cannot be used the same way in a much smaller Koi pond.  The fact is that Koi ponds do accumulate muck just as large ponds do and sometimes even more because of the area that muck has to accumulate in.  Muck can be caused by decaying leaves and also from Koi fish waste.  Sanco Industries offers a product called Muck Doctor that can be used and is effective in treating large ponds, but can also be just as effective in maintaining a small Koi pond.  Muck doctor safely breaks down muck and dead vegetation with naturally occurring bacteria that feeds on the muck.  Lucky for Koi pond owners Muck Doctor is 100% safe for all other things besides muck, including Koi fish or any other wildlife that may be present in a Koi pond.
