Pond Advice For The Spring Season
A question frequently asked by new pond keepers, is how to deal with the unsightly presence of blanket w**d.
Blanket w**d is a common type of algae found in garden ponds, especially in spring and early summer. it thrives in water that has high nutrient levels and where there is plenty of sunlight. Blanket w**d will grow off the edges and base of the pond and left unchecked can cause blockages in bottom drains, pipes and pumps.
There are primarily two ways of dealing with blanket w**d.
Naturally by, adding aquatic plants like lilies which provide shade to the pond reducing sunlight and the plants will also help to reduce nutrients from the pond water.
The use of water treatments. Some water treatments are natural using enzymes and bacteria and some are chemical based.
We highly recommended our best selling range of water care treatments for your pond:

Pond Advice for the Spring Season
In Spring one of the most common problems you might encounter with your pond is suspended algae which turns the water green.
This is caused by:
Warming of the pond water temperature
Increased levels of sunshine and daylight hours
Nutrients in the water due to increased feeding
Here’s some recommendations and products that can help.
Floating plants and lilies can be added to a garden pond to create shade
UV lights are suitable for use on a garden pond with a pump and filter too.

Pond additives, such as “Magiclear” will help remove suspended particles and clear green water too.
https://www.koilogic.co.uk/nt-labs-magiclear-clears-green-cloudy-water/p112
UV Lights like the “TMC Titan UV” is ideally suited for Koi ponds with the 2” inlet and outlet making for a higher turnover of water through the UV.
https://www.koilogic.co.uk/tmc-pro-pond-titan-uv-clarifier-110-watt-version-2-new/p1799
Water treatments like “Pond Zinger” will wear down and release a small amount of treatment into the water over a period of time helping to control algae and clear the pond water.

🌿 Red veins along the fins and tail

Koi ponds are larger in size than garden ponds, so they require a stronger method of construction to support the larger volume of water contained within the pond 🌿
A concrete base and concrete block walls are usual for construction which are then rendered and then waterproofed by fibreglass.
If you're hoping to construct your koi pond, then we would highly recommend using the below products:
Aerated Bottom Drain 110mm: https://bit.ly/AeratedBottomDrain110mm
