Pond Sludge Removal

There are many steps to proper pond maintenance, and one not to neglect is sludge removal. Pond sludge removal is a vital step that can be easily overlooked. It can present many problems if untreated.

• Sludge build up does slowly fill in a pond. It will create shallow areas where aquatic weeds will thrive. Another problem with shallower areas is its inherent hindrance to larger boats, as the area you can travel will shrink over time. Controlling sludge will combat this natural process and keep your pond as deep as it is now.
• Related to boating, docks and the surrounding water area will become slippery. This presents a safety hazard waiting to cause a fall or worse. Swimming will be too risky to allow in these conditions. Removing the sludge will make swimming and the dock areas safer.
• Sludge can also fuel rampant growth of algae and higher aquatic plants. These cycles will be characterized by periods of high growth, die off, and then be followed by another explosion of growth. To interrupt this endless cycle sludge removal is the key.

Don’t let sludge build up so deep that the only option is mechanical removal. Contact Sanco today for helpful, natural sludge removal with our line of effective pond sludge removal products.
