Pond Maintenance Plan

20 Jan 2013
By plotting out your pond maintenance plan, you can create a beautiful pond that will stay clean, clear, and healthy all year long. Pond maintenance is extremely important when it comes to ensuring that you have control over your aquatic plants. We here at Sanco have all of the pond products that you’ll need.

You can easily control most aquatic plants with an herbicide that is designed specifically for ponds. One of the first steps is to determine how big your pond is. This will let you determine the proper dosage you need. Secondly, identifying which weeds you have growing will determine which product will be best suited to help you manage them.

Here are a few uses for our chemicals to keep in mind:
  • Copper sulfate – this is best to use when controlling algae. It’s important to use the proper dosage, as excess can lead to lower oxygen levels in your pond.
  • Chelated copper – this is more potent than copper sulfate, and is used to treat submerged weeds like coontail.
  • Diquat – this product is effective against submerged weeds as well.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg. Look over our online store to see our entire product lines. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us directly and we’ll help you find your answers.
