Pond Problems

17 Mar 2011

If you’re not careful pond problems can creep up on you. Pond problems can seem overwhelming at first. But with a little planning, a systematic approach, and help from the knowledgeable staff at Sanco Industries you can manage your pond with ease.

A common ailment for most man-made ponds is algae. In nature, there are processes in place to keep rampant growth of algae under control. Many young ponds also suffer from over populations of algae. Before you begin to dump large amounts of pond algaecide into your pond, you should look for the sources of your algae problem.

Algae love abundant quantities of nutrients and lavish amounts of sunlight; warm water usually doesn’t hurt things either. Survey the area around your pond for excessive runoff of grass fertilizer or a nearby farmer’s field that drains into your pond. Ease up on the grass fertilizer, or look to have a professional pond maintenance provider redirect the agricultural chemicals.

Then contact Sanco with your pond’s size, and we will offer the products that will best suite your situation. Take back your prized pond for your own enjoyment.
