Pond Sludge Removal

07 Jun 2011

Most sludge resides on the bottom of your pond out of sight. Unfortunately this leads to poor sludge removal, and its clean up is overlooked. This presents pond owners with a variety of concerns not immediately 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, use Muck Doctor to clean these areas up.
  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.

Many factors can contribute to excessive sludge buildup. So, it makes sense that sludge removal is required as well. Sanco offers a line of muck busting, sludge removal products aimed at controlling too much sludge. Contact us today to learn more about our sludge removal products.
