How to Measure Your Pond

Identify Your Pond Growth

Some common types of pond problems:

  • Weeds- Common weeds like duckweed or cattails can be effectively treated with a combination of herbicides and surfactants. Use this chart to help you identify the weeds in your pond.
  • Algae- Algae growth is common in all ponds but can be easily controlled with the right care and maintenance, including the use of algaecides. Not all algae is bad, however. Chara is a type of filter algae that can help make your pond water clear and crisp.
  • Pond Turnover- Prevented by installing fountains and aerators in your pond.
  • Murky/Dirty Water- Can be eliminated by using pond colorants and bacteria.

Our step-by-step easy pond care system can help you maintain your pond all year long.
