Green Water

Has a client contacted you about green water issues and you have no idea how to help?

Green water is a constant battle with nature to stop single celled algae blooming and ruining our visual enjoyment of our pond or feature. Most feature owners will experience increased levels of green water during the summer when the pond water is warm. This is exactly the time when one would like to sit out and enjoy the view with a nice cold drink.



The Solutions - Clear Water

There are many ways to combat green water, unfortunately many solutions fly in the face of what we are trying to achieve. For example, filling the pond with plants may well reduce penetration of sunlight, thus starving the algae of the light they need to reproduce and reducing the green effect. However, if your client's intention was to have a fish pond without visual impairment, this may not be the solution for you.

There are many gadgets that promise clear water and deliver very little. Many products on the market may well stop the green water issues. They may also incorporate heavy metals which do not only kill the algae, but plants, fish and other pond inhabitants.

There are many solutions for green water and the advice you are given depends solely on who you are talking to. Why not take your advice from specialist pond consultants. We can specify the correct product, supply it to your client's door at extremely reasonable prices and if they are too busy to fit it or confused about their layout, we could even fit it for them. For a hassle free approach to solving your client's green water problems, please feel free to contact us.
