Pond Maintenance & Cleaning

Pond maintenance made simple

A little regular care keeps a pond clear and healthy, and avoids the work of a full clean-out. Most pond problems, from green water to smells, start with a build-up of organic waste.

A simple maintenance routine

  • Weekly: skim leaves, check pump flow, top up with dechlorinated water.
  • Monthly: rinse filter foams in pond water and test water quality.
  • Seasonally: vacuum sludge, trim plants, replace UVC lamps in spring and net the pond in autumn.

Why does my pond smell?

A musty or rotten smell usually means decaying organic matter on the pond floor and low oxygen. Remove sludge, add aeration and use beneficial bacteria to break waste down.
