My pond smells.

Pond odors are a sure indicator of more pond problems to come from the lower levels of your pond.

  • Day 1
Natural Blast
  • Day 15 – Recommend dosage of Natural Blast®
  • Day 30 – Recommend dosage of Natural Blast® & AquaSpherePRO
    Continue treatment until smell dissipates and maintain with monthly AquaSphere®PRO pond water treatment.

My pond is clear now, but I anticipate problems with warmer weather.

  • Day 1 – 
AquaSpherePRO
  • Every 30 Days – Add recommended size AquaSphere®PRO
IMPORTANT NOTE!

Recommended size for most ponds is two 500,000 gallon AquaSphere®PROs for every million gallons (1/2 Acre). Two spheres are better placement and achieve better results.

We also recommend that you keep an extra supply of Natural Blast® on hand in case of temperature spikes or heavy rainfall.

Algae & Weed Problems

For treating weeds and various forms of algae we recommend a variety of chemical products.

  • When you use the selected algaecides with our all-natural products, together they improve pond water quality and can be used for algae control
  • Natural products from Healthy Ponds are all-natural and are used for maintaining pond water clarity
  • Healthy Ponds natural products are NOT Algaecides/Pesticides
  • All algaecide treatments should be followed up 30 days later with our all-natural pond water treatment products

My pond has an extreme planktonic algae problem.

Planktonic algae can overtake a pond and quickly progress into an “algae bloom”.  When the algae has progressed this far, it can be harmful to animals and humans. This problem is best treated with our algaecide Captain and followed up with our non-algaecide all-natural products, by using our 3 step all-natural treatment plan.

My pond has an extreme filamentous algae problem.

Similar to planktonic algae problems, extreme filamentous algae is best treated with our algaecide Captain and followed up with our non-algaecide all-natural products, by using our 3 step all-natural treatment plan.

My pond has Muskgrass/Chara.

Muskgrass/Chara can be removed by trying to rake it out, but that is often ineffective and difficult to control because it reestablishes from spores and fragments. This problem is best treated with our algaecide Captain and followed up with our non-algaecide, 3 step all-natural treatment plan.

aquatic vegetation

I have aquatic vegetation or weeds taking over my pond.

Various weeds can take over a pond. Not sure what type of weed that is in your pond? Take a look at our Weed Definitions page to learn more.
