King British Green Water Control

King British Green Water Control is now available from Swell UK, a Leading Online Retailer of Pond Supplies.

Adding Green Water Control to your pond results in floating green algae becoming clumped together making it sink to the bottom of your pond, this then makes the algae much easier to remove and can, and must, be scooped out or removed with a pond vacuim.

Keeping your pond with a small amount of green algae is an important task, as a low amount of algae is actually of benefit to your pond, an increased amount can be harmful in that it can reduce the oxygen levels of your pond, particularly in the night time, can affect the pH level, irritate your fishes gills and clog the ponds filter which can result in increased pollution.

Controlling algae can be quite simple:-

• Ensure that your pond filter is working correctly and is not clogged.
• Shade your pond from direct sunlight.
• Add plant life to your pond as the plant life will fight with the algae for nutrients and light, and so will help control the algae levels.

When adding plant life, a point to remember is not to use fertilsed soil as this could cause harm to your pond.

You should consider using Green Water Control when:-

• You can see green algae floating on the top of your pond.
• Your pond generally looks green in colour.
• Upon inspecting your filter you find that it has become clogged with Green Alage.
