About this deal

You need really effective mechanical filtration if you want clear pond water which is free of particles. Use a large pond filter or several filters in combination and ensure that they have a sponge, static plastic media or a drum filter to capture those waste particles as they flow into the filter.

Envii Pond Klear contains millions of beneficial bacteria that target the microscopic algae and nutrients in the pond. They clump them together and sink them to the bottom of the pond where they can be removed via the pump and filter or digested by the bacteria. As this is a natural process, it can take up to 8 weeks to clear badly affected ponds. Recommended for:Removing tannin, dyes, brown water, cloudy water, chlorine, fertilizers, medicine, and heavy organic pollutants. What is it? Activated carbon is very useful in removing heavy pollutants that biological and mechanical media cannot remove. Using a unique two-stage process exclusive to us, this natural, microbial treatment starves algae of nutrients and digests the resulting dead organic matter, leaving your pond crystal clear. Activated carbon is an effective and safe method for neutralizing a range of organic substances which can cause water discolouration, including tannin, proteins, and fertilizers. The most common cause of brown water problems is the leeching of organic color, called tannin, into the surrounding water from decomposing organic matter (i.e., leaves). Although carbon can’t remove the debris itself, it can help improve clarity by reducing the free-swimming tannin which gives the water a brownish appearance. Likewise, cloudy or milky water is often caused by excess fertilizer substances, such as phosphates, or excess proteins which can leech from fish feeding. Both these types of substances are organic in nature and activated carbon works very well for reducing the quantity in water with continued treatment. Few sunlit ponds enjoy clear water year-round as its too tempting a breeding ground for nuisance algae. If designing a pond place it in partial shade, build a pergola or fit a sail over the pond to protect it from the full glare of the sun’s rays. Aquatic plants can be used to shade pond water too and up to two thirds of the pond surface area can be covered with pond plants. Introduce some pond life to clear pond water naturally

Using a Pond UV Steriliser for Clean Water

PRIOR TO APPLICATION – If your pond has excessive blanket weed, first remove as much as possible and dispose of it on the compost heap. This will prevent the build-up of dead organic material, and therefore improve microbial digestion and reduce oxygen consumption. Divide and re-pot deep-water aquatics with floating leaves, such as waterlilies, if they’ve becometoo large – see our guide to growing waterlilies

Envii Pond Klear is the UK’s most trusted green pond water treatment with good reason. Containing innovative bacteria that work down to 4°C. This gives Envii Pond Klear a very unique advantage over other treatments. Most treatments only work down to around 12°C which gives algae a window to sneak in a little extra growth. Algae grows down to 8°C, therefore if the bacteria can’t work that low, there’s nothing to fight off the algae. Before you use Hydra Crystal, please read our article Hydra Crystal for Beginners. We believe this information will help you have a successful experience clearing your green pond water with Hydra Crystal. In this guide, I’ll give you all the details of how to clear pond water, and keep it clear safely, without harming your fish or plants! Help! What’s Growing In My Small Garden Pond? However, cleaning out a pond can seriously disrupt itsnatural ecosystem, which can take several years to recover. It canalso be physically demanding and messy work, especially with a large pond. And you need a lot of collected rainwater to refill the pond afterwards. For tips on maintaininga healthy pond ecosystem,see our guide to wildlife ponds.Recommended for:Long term control of green water, string algae, and blanket weed and preventing re-growth in future. What is it? Barley straw works as a long-term algae control method, preventing the growth of both green algae and string algae. Circulating the water with a pump helpsto improve oxygen levels, whichbenefits both amphibians and fish, particularly in deeper ponds where oxygen doesn’t diffuse readily through the water Bacteria are clever little things and have a solution for most fish-related problems. Add some beneficial bacteria aimed at clearing water and it should do exactly that, seeding the water with bacteria and enzymes which get to work reducing waste and polishing the water.Get it right and the use of beneficial bacteria can clear pond water naturally. Biological filter media is designed to give nitrifying bacteria a new home. Change the pond water First, consider whether a total clean-out is really necessary.The traditional advice is to give small ponds a complete overhaul to remove debris every five years, and give large ponds a thorough clean every ten years.

Odours such as ammonia and sulphur are very rapidly taken up by Pond Start, while heavy metals and other toxic substances are reduced so greatly improving water quality. Needless to say I was thrilled when I discovered that there is a home remedy for pond algae control. The best mechanical filters are ones which are self-cleaning and can even automatically clean themselves, sending the dirt down the drain on a regular cycle. Remove the waste before it’s broken down, and you’ll have less nitrate and phosphate build-up, and less algae too. You can use algae treatment for ponds alongside your pond filters and pumps or use green water pond treatments periodically when algae build up.

In our efforts to bring our customers only the best products for clearing their ponds, we introduce Matala, the advanced filter media for today's serious pond enthusiast. One look at Matala will convince you of its practical and versatile qualities. Although UV clarifiers can remove green-swimming algae very effectively, they will have no effect on the growth of larger types of algae, such as string algae and blanketweed. As well as this, for those of you wanting to save money on your electricity bill, running a UV Clarifier 24/7 likely isn’t the most viable option. Barley straw extract isn’t designed to remove an algae bloom already present, and it should never be used for this purpose as it can make conditions worse. However, it’s a very effective long-term deterrent, and can be added after an algae bloom has been treated with other methods (UV clarifier) to prevent the re-growth of algae in future. Since the mechanism of action requires decomposition to occur, monitoring water quality closely and providing plenty of aeration is important when using barley in ponds.
