Then why do some people speak of 'crystal clear' water in their ponds? - question not an arguement. Because it is not in balance. It is forced to be clear by filtering, not by natural balance. My pond is in natural balance with no filtering at all. The water is extremely clear, but has a slight yellowing-brown cast. It is 3' to 4' deep. "Stephen M.

There is no "forcing" because a pond that is filtered isn't always balanced, clear or quality-wise. ~ jan See my ponds and filter design: http://users.owt.com/jjspond/ ~Keep 'em Wet!~ Tri-Cities WA Zone 7a To e-mail see website |
