A natural pond has a constant supply of fresh water flowing into it, such as from a stream or spring. Water also flows out of a natural pond, taking fish waste and other toxins with it. This isn’t true for most garden ponds as they are closed systems. Garden ponds also tend to be much smaller than natural ponds, so they do not offer the amount of water per fish that you find in nature. For these reasons, water treatments are necessary to keep water conditions safe for both fish and plant life and for clearer water. Following specific steps each season allows you to create a backyard retreat you’ll enjoy all year long! 5 items you need to start-up your pond this spring.

Good water quality is the key to a healthy, beautiful pond. Tap water often contains chemicals such as chlorine, chloramines and heavy metals. These disinfectants make water safe for drinking, but they are highly toxic to pond life. High levels of disinfectants destroy fish gill tissue, preventing the uptake of oxygen, which can lead to fish death. Even low levels will irritate delicate fish tissue. Tap water must be treated before adding fish to make sure they remain healthy. API POND CHLORINE & HEAVY METAL NEUTRALIZER instantly removes chlorine and neutralizes chloramines. It also detoxifies heavy metals such as copper, lead, zinc, and other heavy metals found in tap and well water.
