Over the years, pond sludge accumulates in every pond and can even halve the water depth! Simply use a white folding ruler to check how much pond sludge has accumulated.

The care of your garden pond depends on the season. In spring you have other jobs than in autumn. But what needs doing in summer?

You may well have asked yourself this year why algae suddenly appear in spring even though you have barely fed your fish yet. It was still cold and the sun had only just begun to shine a little stronger. The reason for it is last year’s “waste” still lying on the bottom of the pond.

Here you’ll find everything you’ll need to know to keep your fish healthy during the winter and to give them a good start into the next season.

If you take proper action now, by reducing the nutrient input and the existing nutrient sources, you can prevent algae problems in the coming year.

Maybe you’ve felt like this: nothing works, the pond looks disastrous and you just don’t know what to do.

Die Sonne knallt auf den Teich und Sie füllen täglich Wasser nach? An manchen Tagen fragt man sich, „ist das wirklich normal und nur die Verdunstung“?

Ask us your technical question and we’ll answer your question in the comments with our team of experts.

Is your pond clear – with no algae in sight? Perhaps you were just lucky or you have completed an algae treatment successfully. In either case there’s one thing you don’t need: algae!

A lot of pond owners neglect their regular maintenance and only react when problems occur and it’s often too late.

The car roofs are yellow, the windows dusty and on the water surface floats a yellow-green film of flower pollen and insects. Take immediate action, using preventive or immediate measures to make sure it won’t lead to problems.

A few algae in the pond do not pose a problem and even form a component of a healthy pond. But once the water turns green or „blanket weed“ algae become rampant, you then have a problem which needs fixing. Effective and longterm algae control consists of three steps.

Spring, summer, autumn and winter. For each season there is a different maintenance to follow and various aspects to consider.

ANY pond which is not roofed-over will build up sludge from leaves, aquatic plant leaves and other matter entering the air.

It can affect every pond owner. But if you are careful you can avert problems before they occur. In the following article we would like to introduce you to the different types of algae you may meet in the garden pond:

Not only the koi needs to become “autumn-proof” with its nutrition but also its home, the garden pond. The leaves fall, but unfortunately they also fall into our ponds.

The water level can drop by up to several centimetres a day. This means it has to be refilled once a week at the latest.

There has been plenty of heavy rainfall in Germany in the last few days. The ponds are full to the brim and the garden - and more - is under water.

We ontvangen steeds meer vragen van vijverbezitters die hulp nodig hebben met betrekking tot algenkussens op het vijverwateroppervlak.

Overal bloeien de bloemen en de bloesems en mensen met allergieën weten het al: Overal is stuifmeel! Zowel op auto's als bospaden vinden we de gele poeder. Het stuifmeel en de kleine bladeren vinden in groten getale de weg naar onze vijvers.

Veel vijverbezitters zijn zich er niet van bewust - om deze reden reageren ze pas op algen wanneer het al te laat is. Dit veroorzaakt niet alleen ergernis, maar maakt de weg terug naar helder water tevens lastiger.

Pond owners need to start preparing their ponds in autumn for the coming winter. Only by doing this can you be sure that your pond will continue to bring you pleasure next year and that your fish will be healthy.

Als vijverbezitter bent u in de herfst niet alleen bezig met uw vijver klaar te maken voor de winter (waarover we het in een volgende blog-post zullen hebben), maar u heeft ook te maken met hevige en vaak voorkomende regenbuien.

It’s getting cold slowly and the pond season is coming to its end. The leaves of the water lilies are dying and the sunshine hours are getting shorter. But in the pond there is still a lot happening. We will show you how to make your pond fit for the winter.

It happens every year. The algae arrive. What can you do to prevent it? For a healthy basis the pond needs to be filled with sufficient plant mass. This applies to ALL ponds.

In the garden pond the pH rises to over 10 if the carbonate hardness is insufficient or non-existent. In unbuffered ponds the pH level can even fluctuate up to 4 pH value levels within one day.

Everyone knows this scenario. Just last week the pond was alright, then suddenly the algae came overnight. Why does this happen? It’s really very simple. You only have to keep in mind 2 factors.
