Murky pond
Wouldn't think you would need to change the water unless it tests really
bad. I haven't changed mine in thirty years although the pond has turned green several times when the pump failed. A good filter will clear it up if it is big enough. The fish won't mind muddy or algae water; they seem to enjoy it more.... "Granny" wrote in message oups.com... I moved into a house last year and the previous owner had taken his water pump, filter etc. There is a higher pond which should feed into the lower one but both are now quite murky. The fish and frogs still seem quite happy but the water needs cleaning. I have tried the tablets but limited results. I am going to install a pump and filter but want to know whether I should empty most of the water first and refresh with clean water in order to not clog the filter when it's initially set up. I would appreciate any advice on this since, at the moment, I can't afford to pay someone to do it for me. |
