If you have pond or a lake on your property, you know that this can be a fun water feature, but it also requires a good amount of maintenance. Looking after your water doesn't have to be a big chore, however. There are chemical-free products that are easy to use and safe for your family, pets, fish and all other wildlife.
Treating your pond should be fairly simple and the AquaSpherePro makes it as easy as just tossing something into the pond and lake. The AquaSphere is a biodegradable sphere full of natural bacteria. Once you toss it in the water, it immediately begins to work to improve the health of your pond water. Each sphere will last for a month and then you can simply add new ones. Continuously using these spheres is a great way to prevent lake and pond water problems.
There are multiple sizes of AquaSpherePros. The smallest treats up to 50,000 gallons, while the largest treats half a million gallons, and there are sizes in between. You just need to purchase a combination of spheres that accommodates the approximate size of your lake. You cannot over treat, so if you have a bit more sphere than needed, it won't cause a problem.
If you are at the beginning on the pond treating season, which generally begins when the temperatures begin to climb, it can be wise to start off the season with a dose of Vista. This product is similar AquaSphere in that it uses beneficial bacteria to treat the water. It is a great product to use if water is particularly stagnant and will improve the ecological balance as well as the natural beauty of your water. You can use Vista as a boost when needed along with the monthly dose of your AquaSphere.
Two other products that can be helpful include Blast and Rush. One box of Blast can treat up to 1.5 million gallons of water, and this product will speed up the decomposition of organic matter and is ideal if you have a pond that is highly contaminated with large amounts of organic compost or perhaps poor odor. Rush is used as needed when the water has low dissolved oxygen levels. Rush slowly releases into the water over the course of seven to ten days and will work to improve your water clarity.
If your water isn't looking as sparkling fresh as you would like, there are some products out there with safe, water soluble, non-toxic dyes that can improve not only the look of the water but also block sunlight. Excess sunlight can cause algae to grow, so the dyes found in products such as SeProBlue and SePro Natural Protection can help prevent this as well.
Each of these natural products has been given a stamp of approval by veterinarians and is safe for people, pets and all wildlife. They are easy to use, but contain no chemicals so you don't have to worry about damage to the environment.
