Almost everyone can use a pond cleaning! We recommend everyone get a thorough cleaning of their pond at least once a year, usually in the spring.

Why is a thorough cleaning needed in an ecosystem pond? Organic matter builds up over time, especially in winter months.

When spring comes, the organic matter starts breaking down, using up the oxygen in the water and stressing the ecosystem. Pond cleanings and often beneficial bacteria treatments are recommended to help balance the ecosystem once again.
