Treatment of green water in garden ponds

Treatment of green water in garden ponds

The year 2011 has been an extraordinary year for garden ponds. A very warm, dry spring (April and May) with abundant pollen deposited in water bodies followed by an average June and two months of greater precipitation, July and August.

In garden ponds that already exhibited strong growth of floating algae, this algae bloom often lasted several months if not treated and sometimes improved only slightly or not at all after a single algae treatment. This was due to the density of the floating algae, as shown in perfect form in the picture. It is true that, in water that green, algae control products like JBL AlgoPond Forte (Use biocides safely. Always read the label and product information before use. Registered at the Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health under BAUA number N-37641) * will always help, but the respective agent added is used up quickly, and then the surviving algae grow all the faster.

The only remedy in this case, is to perform multiple treatments at shorter intervals in order to achieve the desired effect, namely clear water.

The example shown here was crowned with success, as shown by the two current photographs, which the garden pond owner kindly made available to us.

PUSH messages from JBL

What are PUSH messages? As part of the W3C standard, web notifications define an API for end-user notifications that are sent to the user's desktop and/or mobile devices via the browser. Notifications appear on the end devices as they are familiar to the end user from apps installed on the device (e.g. emails). Notifications appear on the end user’s device, just like an app (e.g. for emails) installed on the device.

These notifications enable a website operator to contact its users whenever they have a browser open - it doesn’t matter whether the user is currently visiting the website or not.

To be able to send web push notifications, all you need is a website with a web push code installed. This allows brands without apps to take advantage of many of the benefits of push notifications (personalised real-time communications at just the right moment).

Web notifications are part of the W3C standard and define an API for end user notifications. A notification makes it possible to inform the user about an event, such as a new blog post, outside the context of a website.

JBL GmbH & Co. KG provides this service free of charge, and it is easy to activate or deactivate.
