Pond Dye and Pond Problems

15 Apr 2012

Looking to make our pond or small lake really shine? As the finishing touch to any pond maintenance plan pond dye can produce astounding results. Pond dye comes in many colors, and Sanco offers their pond colorant in three colors depending on the look and effect tht each pond owner wishes to achieve.

If you're looking to control pond problems with pond colorant then you are not addressing the root cause of your problem, and throwing away your money as well. While it is true that pond dye can limit sunlight to the "photic zone" of your pond, you should investigate why your pond problems are occurring.

Possible problems include...

Shallow areas encouraging algae, submerged, and emergent plant growth.
Excessive agricultural or lawn fertilizer runoff directly entering the pond.
Trampled pond banks creating shallow ares.
Windbreaks allowing floating plants to establish.
Buildup of muck and organic matter creating a food source of algae.

When you've tackled the cause of your pond problems, "top off" the pond with the pond dye of your choice. Browse Sanco's online pond chemical pages to see how we can make your pond healthy and beautiful.
