Pond Maintenance Tips

Sanco Industries believes that the key to a healthy aquatic environment is preventative pond maintenance.  Preventative pond maintenance can save you time and money when the weather heats up and algae and weeds begin to thrive.  The two main preventive pond maintenance steps we recommend every pond owner take is using beneficial pond bacteria and a pond dye.

Sanco’s beneficial pond bacteria, Natural Pond Cleaner, will help neutralize nitrates and phosphates while reducing the amount of organic sludge build up.  By minimizing nitrates, phosphates, and sludge build up you are minimizing pond growth. 

The use of pond dye can sometimes be controversial for pond owners.  Some pond owners feel it gives the pond a very unnatural look.  However, pond dye has come a long way.  There are several colors to choose from and many people end up finding a color that suites their own personal preference.  To see how pond dyes can be a key part of your preventative pond maintenance plan view our article “The Truth About Pond Dye”.

Using pond dyes and beneficial pond bacteria will help prevent not stop weeds and algae from growing. At the first signs of weeds and algae you should be prepared to use our algaecides and herbicides to keep the growth under control during the prime growing season.
