Default Topping off the pond

The water level in the bottom tier of the pond has dropped some with
the heat down here in the Southeast. I want to put some more in but
not sure of the best way. Can I put the hose in the pond and pour the
water conditioner in all at the same time or do I need to put the
water and conditioner in something separate (a trash can?), let it sit
for a little while and then pour it into the pond?


IMO, Best way, is use a carbon filter on the hose end and use chlorine test
to make sure you haven't used up the carbon's capacity.

Next best way, imo, is add the dechlor and let the pond circulate that
around then trickle or spray in the water down the waterfall if you have
one (my method). ~ jan
