Autumn Pond Maintenance 

Now that leaves are starting to fall, it's important to take preventative measures early to protect your pond.

With lower pond temperatures after the heat of the summer, Autumn is the perfect time to have a clean-up and provide a little TLC for your pond fish in preparation for the colder months of winter without causing unnecessary stress for your fish.

Pond Skimmers and Vacuums

Keep the number of falling leaves and debris in ponds to a minimum in order to keep water quality levels high. Take a look at our range of surface skimmers to help keep the fallen leaves away from your pond and vacuums that will help remove those that do make it into the pond before they have a chance to decay.

 Water Treatments

Keeping a pond healthy is all about keeping water, and then the fish will look after themselves - so it’s essential to make sure everything is ship shape. We have a large range of water treatments to pop up your bacteria or to condition your tap water. Also available are some parameter specific treatments to assist with lowering high levels of ammonia, nitrate etc. Products to help with algae problems, cloudy water and modifying pH levels are also available. 

Pond Testing

No less true during the cooler months than any other time of the year, the secret to keeping your pond fish happy and healthy whatever the weather is regular water testing. Any problems can then be addressed quickly and at source before your fish are affected. We offer a range of test kits so that there really is no excuse for not testing your pond water quality values regularly.

Pond Nets

During the fall, nets catch falling leaves, twigs, and other organic debris, which would otherwise decompose in the pond. By keeping debris out, nets prevent filters and pumps from becoming clogged and overwhelmed, reducing the need for frequent cleaning and maintenance.
