Its January, and PONDMAN is starting to schedule pond clean outs.

A pond clean out is sometimes needed , because the pond can have buildup in the bottom, or in the filters and sometimes even in the plumbing. We usually begin by setting up a holding tank for the majority of the pond water to be stored in. We then pump the pond water into the tank along with fish, turtles, and any other pond life, (that have been taken out by hand ).Along with the animals some of the plants will also be removed to the tank.After we have the pond drained we start power washing the sides and bottom of the pond. We try to dislodge and wash the majority of the waste from  the rocks and boulder walls.

This can be decieving, because we do not want to remove 100% of the healthy filtering algeas, and growth. We want to leave some to kick start the ponds growing and cleaning systems.When the dirty water has been flushed and removed along with any dead plants and debri, The Pondman crew will start to pump the origional water back into the pond. Also any plant trimming and replacement is done at this time. When the water is deep enough along with carefully replacing all the inhabitants, dechlorinator is added, because inevitably the pond will need to be topped off with water from the water hose.

This is just one of the pond services, We usually do at the beginning of the year.
