What if we told you the typical “annual cleanings” that you carry out for your pond are not actually the best amount of time to wait to clean your pond? Instead, the maintenance you give your pond should be held more regularly so that your pond is always kept the best way possible.
In this blog, we tell you why having your pond cleaned only once a year is a habit that you must avoid at all costs.
Your Fish Are Dying Slowly
Have you heard someone say that their fish died, but they do not know why? Or maybe you have been that someone. Well, perhaps you have been fooled by pond maintenance companies or even pond builders that tell you that you must get your pond maintenance done once a year.
Well, no. That yearly maintenance actually hurts your fish since the dirt that accumulates in the pond affects their health. This causes their immune system to get highly damaged. Don’t let them do that to your fish! Now, imagine if you cleaned a pool only once a year. You accidentally swallowed water full of leaves and accumulated dirt and bacteria. You could even get sick.
Well, at least you do not live in a pool and can decide if you want to swim in it, but your fish cannot say the same about that. They are constantly exposed to this environment and depend on you to have a safe place to live.
You Are Not Efficiently Investing Your Money
“Anything is better than nothing,” they say. Well, you know that you do not deserve just anything, and neither do your fish! Your pond should always be running smoothly for the sake of its inhabitants.
That will help you keep algae out of the water and help with overall fish and herd health.
It Doesn’t Make Any Sense
First of all, the frequency of the maintenance a pond should get depends on the pond and should be measured by an expert. How often you clean and maintain your pond depends on factors such as location, amount of plants, amount of food you are feeding your fish, or if it’s next to the woods.
These factors are a strong determinant of how much maintenance should be done and how often the pond should be cleaned out.
