How To Keep Your Pond Or Lake Clean Without Chemicals

By Roland Stockwell


For those lucky ones who have an expansive property which features a pond, lake or other dominant water feature, ensuring that your water is clean is a top priority. This doesn't need to be a full-time job. There are many ways to keep your water fresh, safe and clean naturally.

Each season brings with it some challenges. For example, in Autumn, you will need to ensure that your pond is not over-run with falling leaves. This can cause the water conditions to change and become harmful for fish. During warmer months, you need to ensure that excess algae and weeds do not accumulate.

Keeping water clear and clean is easy with an AquaSpherePRO. This product is a biodegradable sphere that is loaded up with helpful bacteria. You simply toss it into your pond and it goes to work at once eliminating harmful bacteria and build-up. The sphere has no harmful chemicals and veterinarians have approved the product as safe for fish, pets and other wildlife. It is also safe for humans, so if your family uses the water for swimming or fishing, they will be safe.

The AquaSpherePRO is available in a variety of sizes, from 1,000 gallons for a smaller koi pond to 500,000 gallons for a large pond. If your pond or lake is larger than the largest sphere, simply add a second sphere to accommodate the size. Even if you have, for example, a 200,000-gallon pond, using the 250,000-gallon size AquaSphere will not over treat the water. Each sphere lasts for 30 days, and once the time is up, you just add a new sphere.

If your pond or lake water is already in trouble or you just want to gear up for the warm season, consider using a product such as Blast. This works very well with the AquaSpherePro and is a great item to add to your water at the beginning of summer. Blast dissolves almost instantly and begins working to accelerate the decomposition of organic matter.

There are other helpful products to consider, such as the SePRO Natural Reflection. This is a non-toxic, environmentally-friendly product that will reduce sunlight penetration and enhance the color of your water producing a natural black color to your pond or lake using water-soluble black dyes. You also could opt for SePRO Blue, which also uses non-toxic dye to reduce sunlight and enhance color, although this product produces a more aquamarine color to the water than the SePRO Natural Reflection.
