Water Treatments 101
Things to Keep in Mind
Water Quality! Perform a water test before administering water treatments to get insight into what’s happening beneath the surface of your pond. Learn more about water quality.
Dosing! Water treatments have different concentrations and strengths; a capful of one may be stronger than a capful of another. Following the dosing instructions for each water treatment accurately will ensure the product works properly and is safe for your pond critters. All treatments are environmentally safe and fish, plant, domestic and wildlife animal safe when used as directed.
Aeration! Before using water treatments, especially in warm weather, make sure the pond has strong constant and vigorous aeration to avoid fish loss due to low oxygen levels. Don't shut pond pumps or aeration devices off overnight. Learn more about aeration.
Overcrowding! Ensure your pond isn't overcrowded with fish. Knowing how many can live comfortably in your pond can be confusing, but there are a few ways to figure it out. Learn more about overcrowding.
