A casual question arises why we have to be so concerned for the fountains and ponds, especially during summers.

The answer to this is very simple and logical, which is that the summer is the perfect time to allow the algae and the weeds to grow in ponds, also while hosting the parties damage could be high to the pond ecosystem if things are not taken care of.

Here are a few tips to follow to maintain the light pond fountains & ponds in the summer season.

Tip-1Keep your pond aerator clean

While partying many times drunken guests drop plastic stuff into the water which ruins the water quality hence, it is important to clean not only the water regularly but also the aerator system as the aerator uses the dirty water and overall water quality gets damaged.

Tip-2Feed your fish correctly( avoid overfeeding)

Another concern is to maintain a healthy water quality that is safe for the zooplanktons( water organisms) and phytoplanktons( water plants).

Overfeeding leads to increased growth of fish and more waste generation can also downgrade the water quality.

Tip-3Increase water aeration with the addition of good bacteria

During summers temperatures rise significantly the ability of the water to retain the oxygen levels decreases but it can be restored by providing optimized aeration.

Additionally do add good bacteria to consume the debris and organic stuff and maintain the aerobic pond ecosystem.

Tip-4Never use chlorine to clean lighted pond fountains

Chlorine can be useful to clean drinking water but it is highly damaging to your beautiful lighted fountain. Always clean it with the prescribed cleaning solution to maintain the beauty of the fountain for a longer time.

Tip-5Filter out the waste from water

To maintain a healthy water flow and keep your fish happy it is important to maintain a healthy oxygen level and for that only aeration is not sufficient.

Sometimes detention is accused due to the debris settling at the bottom which requires thorough cleaning. Get it done 3-4 times in the whole summer season.
