Algae and Clarity Control

Why is my pond green?

This could be for a number of reasons. Green water is traditionally caused by an algae bloom from extra sunlight and nutrients, however could also be caused by a discoloration from pollen or other airborne molecules which has been a very common occurrence through the early summer. Because these issues require completely different methods to treat, it is recommended you schedule a consultation to help us determine the root cause of your issue so it can effectively be treated.

I have a UV light but am still seeing lots of algae in my pond. Why?

What type of algae are you seeing? String algae is unfortunately unable to be controlled with a UV light, so it is important you start a multi-step algae treatment plan as soon as possible if this is what you’re seeing. If you are seeing green water, your UV may need servicing or the issue might not even be related to an algae bloom and require an alternate treatment.
