Default Water still brown ?

wowo... down to 7.5 or so would be good. water in teh pond turns to yellow. it
usually takes most of a day to clean out a pond. start early. this isnt treatment,
it is prevention. when you are done, dump in a pint of hydrogen peroxide to clear
the PP. Ingrid

Thanks Ingrid!

I assume that my PH of 9 is too high for PP. Where do I need to get
it before using your suggestions?

You mention 'when light pink turns yellow'. Are you referring to the
water in the pond or a rapidtest kind of thing?

Is it best to do this on a cloudy day or at the end of the day (eg,
avoid direct sunlight)?

Thanks,

Folk...
