Sludge Removal the Easy Way

Sludge can creep up on a pond owner quickly. Since the majority of the buildup starts on your pond floor, it often goes completely unnoticed. Sadly, this leads to poor sludge removal, and with its clean up being overlooked you can easily get into a sticky situation. This buildup presents pond owners with a variety of concerns that may not immediately be attributed to muck and sludge.

Why should you be concerned with sludge in your pond? Cycles of algal blooms, personal safety, and other undesirable conditions can be controlled or avoided. Here are three major factors you want to eliminate for a safer, healthier pond.

1. The sludge and muck around docks and swimming areas presents a safety hazard. Slippery conditions are an accident waiting to happen.
2. Muck and sludge is decomposing matter that can fuel rampant algae and aquatic weed growth.
3. Large amounts of sludge will create shallow areas where unwanted emergent plants will take root if left unchecked.
