What can I put in my pond to keep it clean?

Keeping a pond clean and healthy involves a combination of good practices and the use of specific products. Here are some things you can put in your pond to maintain its cleanliness:

1. Beneficial Bacteria: Adding beneficial bacteria helps break down organic waste, reduces sludge, controls algae growth, and maintains a balanced ecosystem. Products like Aquascape's Beneficial Bacteria for Ponds or Maintain for Ponds XT are specifically designed for this purpose.

2. Barley Straw or Extracts (Banned in the UK):  In the UK, the use of barley straw or its extracts for algae control in ponds is banned. This ban is primarily due to regulatory reasons concerning the use of such products as an unregistered form of algae treatment. It's important for pond owners and landscapers in the UK to be aware of this regulation and to seek alternative methods for managing algae and maintaining water quality in ponds. Here are some alternative approaches:

3. Pond Plants: Aquatic plants absorb nutrients from the water and compete with algae for these resources, reducing the likelihood of algae blooms. They also add oxygen to the water, which benefits fish and other aquatic life.

4. Algae Control Products: If algae become a problem, you can use algaecides. However, these should be used cautiously, as they can affect the overall pond ecosystem.

5. Water Clarifiers: Products like water clarifiers or flocculants clump small particles together so they can be easily filtered out, improving water clarity.

6. Pond Skimmer and Filter: While not something you 'put in' the pond, having a good mechanical skimmer and biological filter system is essential. These systems physically remove debris and promote the growth of beneficial bacteria.

7. Aeration Systems: Adding an aeration system, like a pond aerator or fountain, increases oxygen levels in the water, which is crucial for fish health and overall pond ecology.

8. UV Clarifiers: A UV clarifier can be installed in your pond's filtration system. It uses ultraviolet light to kill algae cells, preventing green water.

9. Pond Detoxifiers: These products neutralise harmful substances in the water, such as chlorine, chloramines, and heavy metals, making the water safer for fish and plants.

10. Natural Pond Cleaning Solutions: Some pond owners use natural solutions like pond dye, which limits sunlight penetration and can help control algae growth.

Remember, while these products help keep your pond clean, regular maintenance such as removing debris, maintaining filters, and checking water quality are also crucial for a healthy pond ecosystem.
