Tips For Controlling Pond Algae

Algae growth is the primary maintenance issue for water features. You need to keep a balanced ecosystem. Here are several tips to help you keep the algae population under control:

* Plant material in your pond will bring oxygen and new nutrients to the water. Algae growth is an indicator of oxygen deficient water.
* Goldfish and koi eat algae and help create a balanced environment and keep the water clear.
* Install a quality pump for pond filtration.
* Instead of using chemical products, install UV lighting. UV lights kill unwanted algae and other organic material in the water
