We have a 2-tier rock waterfall 20 ft x 20 ft. which is varying depths of a few inches to about 12 inches. We remove the pump in Fall, which is located underneath the bottom pond layer. The lower level of the waterfall is where the water and leaves collect over the late Fall and throughout the winter. We did not have the waterfall running last summer, so all the fall leaves are collected from the past 2 seasons. The entire surface this Spring is covered in Algae. We want to clean the waterfall/pond ourselves but have never had to do this much. We have heard so many good things about the pond guy, I know you can help.

Want to keep my Lil😊ies Alive & Well, but get rid of soooo much green algae. I have been using a rake to pull some out, but sometimes tear out Lily stems.

Is this only for small ponds ? Can I use it on a fairly sized lake ?

[UncleBark]

Are these chemicals harmful to ducks and turtles?

[davehimlin]

Do lily ponds help or hurt a earthen pond, as far as do they add oxygen to the water or deplete oxygen from the water ? Ive read varying opinions about this.

How long until the pond is safe to swim in.
