Common Pond Treatment Questions

  • How long will it take to clear my water feature (fountain, pond, stock tank, lake)?

    Each water feature is unique so there is not a one size fits all response to that question. In most cases, 4 to 6 weeks is needed to see results. It is IMPORTANT to note that quite often your water feature will initially look worse after starting treatment and then suddenly clear up. The reason for this is simple; as our bacteria consumes the nutrients, the green organic matter at the bottom of the water feature will make a last ditch effort to find nutrients and move to the surface of the water.

    It then dies off and floats back to the bottom where it is consumed by our product. Treatment is very simple, you toss or place the correct number of products into your pond/stock tank. The dispensers will sink to the bottom and begin releasing the bacteria and enzymes into the water.

  • Why didn’t your product clean my pond or water feature?

    The most frequent issue is underestimating the volume of the pond which results in under-dosing. To calculate pond volume in gallons, multiply length x width x average depth x 7.5 or simply contact us we will help you determine the correct dosage.

    Another possible reason could be that the pond or water feature is struggling due to reasons other than those we typically treat for. We have many years of experience in diagnosing unusual water issues and as a result, are able to assist you. 

  • Can I overtreat my pond with your products?

    Since our pond water treatment product is all-natural it is not possible to over-treat your pond, but it is very possible to under-treat, and the desired result will not be achieved. If you need help, please contact us and one of our technicians will be happy to assist you.

  • How do I know what supplement to choose?

    Natural Blast® starts at the top of the water and works its way down at a fast rate of 7 days, and is not time-released. This pond water treatment product is a great add-on to the AquaSphere®PRO. Natural Blast® is our strongest formulation and disperses throughout the entire body of water when added to the pond.​

  • How can I reduce the sludge in my pond?

    Our AquaSphere®PRO is weighted and sinks to the bottom of your pond and goes to work consuming the excess nutrients. The AquaSphere®PRO provides a patented 30-day time release of beneficial bacteria and enzymes that consume the excess nutrients in the water and remove sludge in ponds.

    To achieve the best results, use the AquaSphere®PRO with our supplement Natural Blast®.

  • What treatments do you offer for koi ponds?

    Our products are all natural, so any natural pond treatment will work in your koi pond. But if you do have questions please reach out to our technicians and they will answer any questions you might have.

  • What can I do for Blue/Green Algae?

    Blue/green algae (cyanobacteria) can produce toxins that are harmful to people, pets, livestock, and wildlife. If you see signs of a bloom (green scum, pea-soup water, or surface mats), treat the situation carefully:

    • Do NOT swim, fish, or draw water for animals or irrigation until the algae is gone and the water is safe again.
    • Do NOT apply algaecides directly. In New Zealand, chemical treatment of blue/green algae in ponds and waterways is highly restricted and can actually make the problem worse by releasing more toxins when the algae cells break apart.
    • Safer approaches include:
      • Physical removal of surface scums where practical (using nets or pumps, and disposing of material away from water).
      • Improving water circulation and aeration, which reduces the stagnant conditions algae thrive in.
      • Reducing nutrient inputs for example, diverting runoff, limiting fertiliser near water, or planting buffer vegetation around ponds. Less nitrogen and phosphorus = fewer blooms.

    After removal and/or treatment of algae, RUSH® All Natural Algae Treatment can be applied to visible areas, where it works by targeting organic matter and accelerating natural breakdown using eco-based oxidizers rather than harsh chemicals.

    After the immediate bloom has been managed, additional all-natural products help restore balance by boosting beneficial bacteria, improving oxygen levels, and reducing excess nutrients creating a healthier aquatic environment that makes it harder for blue/green algae to return.

    Please Note: Our products are NOT algaecides, they do not ‘kill algae’ directly.

  • How do I treat my water feature (pond, fountain, stock tank, lake)?

    Treatment is very simple. You toss or place the correct number of products into your pond/stock tank. The pond water treatment dispensers will sink to the bottom and begin releasing the bacteria and enzymes into the water.

  • Can I use your all-natural products in salt water?

    Our products are about 75% effective in salt water. If you plan on treating a salt water water feature, we recommend that you double the dosage.

  • How often should I treat my water feature (pond, fountain, stock tank, lake)?

    All of Healthy Ponds products are designed to last for 30 days. The spheres have a patented time-release feature that allows the continuous release of bacteria and enzymes over a 30-day period. Bacteria normally live for 7-10 days, so the time-release is very important. This also means that the sphere will need to be replaced because the bacteria will not be effective after 30 days. A new sphere will be needed to continue treatment.
