What I would do is buy a small pump and have it hooked up to a hose.
Lay it on the empty pond bottom and have the disharge hose feet a long ways from your pond so the sudsy water would never drain back toward your pond in a heavy rain. Then I would take a garden hose and start spraying the entire pond. Once I got about 50 gallons of water in the pond bottom I would start the drain pump and get rid of the water. I would repeat this process until I saw that there was no sudsy water. Then I would do it a couple of more times just to be safe. After that initial cleanup I would get a large mesh bag and fill it with Zeolite or Activated Charcoal and then put a couple of rocks in the bag and sit it into the waterfalls filter. Then I would fill the pond and run it for a few days. I would then dump the Zeolite/Charcoal and drain the pond completely one last time. Fill the pond back up and add another bag of new Zeolite/Charcoal and then let the pond operate normally. Paul www.pondkoi.com |
