<b>Pond and Lake Aeration Tips:</b></h2>
</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span class="content"><div align="left">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span></div>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Without the use of a </span><span style="color: red; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><a href="https://discount-pumps.biz/pond-lake-aerators.php">pond aerator </a></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;">your pond will become stagnant and smell bad, not to mention the algae or aquatic weed buildup and the stress your fish will go through because of lower oxygen levels. You need to move the water around and the best way to do that is with a <a href="https://discount-pumps.biz/pond-lake-aerators.php">pond aerator</a>. It mixes a high volume of water with a propeller that is attached to a motor, while giving you a beautiful <a href="https://discount-pumps.biz/floating-pond-fountain-colossal.php">decorative fountain</a> display.</span></h3>
<h3>
<br /><div align="left" style="font-family: Verdana;">
Also, oxygen enters the pond by diffusing into the water from the atmosphere. Submerged aquatic plants also produce oxygen during the day, but this is not enough, especially in the hot summer months when the water is warmer. Decomposing fish waste and algae along with the normal respiration of aquatic life, depletes the oxygen faster than it can diffuse back into the water.</div>
<div align="left" style="font-family: Verdana;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="font-family: Verdana;">
Your Pond requires aeration 24 hour a day, especially during the hot summer months. The warmer the water is, the less oxygen it can hold and you could loose your fish overnight. <span style="color: red;"><span style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: red; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><a href="https://discount-pumps.biz/pond-lake-aerators.php">Lake aerators</a></span></span></span> are the solution.</div>
<div align="left" style="font-family: Verdana;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="font-family: Verdana;">
For small ponds, waterfalls and fountains help supplement an air pump system, but should not be the sole source of pond aeration. We strongly suggest you use an Air Pump and Air Stones to achieve total pond aeration from the bottom to the top regardless of depth.</div>
<div align="left" style="font-family: Verdana;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="font-family: Verdana;">
In parts of the country where there are harsh winters, use a floating fountain pond aerator in addition to <span style="color: red;"><span style="color: red; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><a href="https://discount-pumps.biz/floating-pond-lake-deicer.html">floating Pond Deicer</a></span></span> that keeps a small area from freezing. This open area allows the naturally occurring gasses to escape and adds oxygen to the water. Dormant fish still need oxygen under the ice. These units can be left in the water during the winter while the pond freezes around it. Then in the spring when the pond thaws, it is ready to turn on again.</div>
<div align="left" style="font-family: Verdana;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="font-family: Verdana;">
So, if your fish are at the surface of the water and look like they are gasping for air, they probably are. Add a <span style="color: red;"><span style="color: red; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><a href="https://discount-pumps.biz/North-Star-Aerator.html">floating pond lake aerator</a> </span></span>and keep your pond clean and healthy.</div>
<div align="left" style="font-family: Verdana;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">These </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">decorative</span><span style="color: red; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"> <a href="https://discount-pumps.biz/aerating-floating-fountains.php">floating aerators</a></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> provide the perfect solution for improving water quality in fish ponds and lakes. It adds oxygen at the bottom of your lake or pond important for algae control.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="font-family: Verdana;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="font-family: Verdana;">
For <span style="color: red;"><span style="color: red; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><a href="https://discount-pumps.biz/algae-control-lakes.php">algae and aquatic weed maintenance,</a></span></span> additives like natural beneficial bacteria and <span style="color: red;"><span style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: red; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><a href="https://discount-pumps.biz/pond-dye.php">pond dye</a></span></span></span> starve the algae so that it retards the growth and is safe for fish and the environment.<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="color: #333399; font-size: 10pt;"> </span></span></div>

Wooden swings and stone pathways can set a whimsical tone for the rest of your design ideas. Opt for naturally pest- and rot-resistant local wood varieties.</span></span></li>

Start by landscaping with the native nut-, fruit- and seed-bearing plants preferred by your local birds. Install birdhouses on poles. They protect birds better than tree-mounted boxes. Incorporate a birdbath or garden pond into your design. Add decals or screens to back windows to protect birds from injuries. Be sure to provide seed in cold weather, when birds’ natural food sources may be low.</span></span></li>

Hang bird feeders nearby so you can listen to their calming chirps as you indulge in your favorite summer reads. Ad flowering plants and shrubs. Pick up some prepared summer salads and fresh fruit at the supermarket so you don’t have to worry about cooking. Sip on refreshing iced tea or chilled fruit-infused water.

<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Once you’ve transformed your backyard into your resort destination, the most important thing to remember is to mentally “go on vacation” each time you open your back door. Take care of the chores and projects ahead of time. Then spend time outside and make some lasting memories with family and friends.</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">HOWEVER, when there is a water
feature with a lower pond and a stream or waterfall above it, there are many
variables involved besides just looking at the lower pond and measuring the
loss. Here is an example: An upper pond 6´ x 8´, a stream that is 15´ long
and about 1´ wide of flowing water, and a lower pond that is about 10´ x 10´.
If the calculation is actually one inch of evaporation it would work out to be:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 14.4pt; margin-bottom: .2in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Lower Pond Area: 10´ x
10´ = 100 sq. ft., x 1/12 ft. deep = 8.33 cu. ft. x 7.4805 gal./cu. ft. = 62.3
gallons.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 14.4pt; margin-bottom: .2in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Flowing Stream: 15´ x
1´ = 15 sq. ft., x 1/12 ft. deep = 1.25 cu. ft. x 7.4805 gal./cu. ft. = 9.35
gallons.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 14.4pt; margin-bottom: .2in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Upper Pond Area: 6´ x
8´ = 48 sq. ft., x 1/12 ft. deep = 4 cu. ft. x 7.4805 gal./cu. ft. = 29.2
gallons.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 14.4pt; margin-bottom: .2in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">So now there is a total
evaporation of 100.85 gallons. But this only affects the level in the lower
pond, since the pump is replenishing the upper pond and streambed full of water.
Therefore, 100.85 gallons divided by 7.4805 = 13.37 cu. ft. divided by 100 sq.
ft. = .13 x 12 in./ft. = 1.6 inches of actual drop in the lower pond for each 1
inch of actual evaporation in the entire pond, stream and waterfall area.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="background: white; color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Now we
have to add some real variable into the equation, this is the <b><span style="border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; padding: 0in;">“splash factor”</span></b> in the streambed and also the
waterfall. If it is a very hot summer day and the water is splashing small
droplets onto a hot rocks, it will immediately evaporate rather than run back
into the stream. Some, naturally, may actually splash completely out of the
stream bed. And, do not forget the occasional deer or other animal drinking at
night, or neighborhood kids playing, or the large dog taking a swim and taking
water out with him.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Also, a hot day with low
humidity will obviously have a different evaporation rate compared with a cold
and damp day. All of these variables play a role in the evaporation rate. For more helpful <a href="https://discount-pumps.biz/fountain-pond-resources.htm">pond tips</a> visit <a href="https://discount-pumps.biz/">Discount Pumps</a>.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">How do you get rid of muck in a pond?</span></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtMxA7XvLYOzGlpjW3QPtKjshB8JCduwlrE0Piyc17GvAhUOY30XGMMxJ64Rgna_qAtXAIcDgDbAK6JmeBPbDAvto6jMBBm5pT4Y-DB3gaoX9oQCpRq8aNwo_p9biHLXX3A0swZD2ap5WX/s1600/pond-muck.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="225" data-original-width="300" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtMxA7XvLYOzGlpjW3QPtKjshB8JCduwlrE0Piyc17GvAhUOY30XGMMxJ64Rgna_qAtXAIcDgDbAK6JmeBPbDAvto6jMBBm5pT4Y-DB3gaoX9oQCpRq8aNwo_p9biHLXX3A0swZD2ap5WX/s400/pond-muck.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="background-color: #ddeeff;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What causes Muck at the bottom of the pond or lake is decaying organic waste like fish food that is not eaten and waste from fish, geese and ducks. Also dead and decaying aquatic weeds and leaves add to the buildup up of pond muck. When left untreated the buildup can be quite thick. This muck is also a food source for unwanted algae and weeds. As the algae and aquatic weeds die off, it adds to the muck. The more muck, the more algae, the more algae, the more muck, and the cycle goes on and on.</span><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></strong>
<strong><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">WHY DOES IT SMELL BAD?</span></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Of course Ponds that have a lot of muck build up tend to have a bad smell to it, similar to that rotten eggs. That is because of the release of hydrogen sulfide. If you notice this smell that is a clear indication that the pond is suffering from oxygen depletion and muck build up. Ponds or lakes that are not aerated, cause the extreme temperature differences between the deeper levels of water and the upper levels of water. This creates an unbalanced environment perfect for the overgrowth of bad bacteria.</span><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></strong>
<strong><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">HOW A PONDS ECO SYSTEM EVOLVES</span></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A new pond starts out with clean water free of weeds and debris. This stage can last for a few years. But over time the organic matter starts to build up become nutrients like fertilizer for unwanted aquatic plants and algae. Chemicals used to control this growth are just a temporary fix. The best plan is to re-balance the ponds eco system. Aerating with a <a href="https://discount-pumps.biz/pond-lake-aerators.php" style="text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #336699;">pond aerator,</span></a> beneficial bacteria and Muck Digester can be used to reduce the muck at the bottom and prevent further build up. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">HOW TO ELIMINATE MUCK AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POND</span></h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;">Thick slimy muck at the bottom of the pond is made up of fish waste and decomposing organic materials from plants and leaves that build up on the bottom of your pond and over a period of time this can build up to several inches. However you can get rid of this muck with aeration and beneficial bacteria and enzymes.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<strong><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">BENEFICIAL BACTERIA AND ENZYMES</span></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Your pond is filled with billions of beneficial bacteria, but if your pond is out of balance and have too much muck, the beneficial bacteria cannot keep up. If you add good bacteria and enzymes with <span style="color: #336699;"><a href="https://discount-pumps.biz/algae-control-lakes.php">BactiMax and Muck Digester</a></span> you can increase their numbers, get down and consume the muck. It will improve the ponds clarity and get rid of the sludge!! When used regularly, with a <a href="https://discount-pumps.biz/pond-lake-aerators.php" style="text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #336699;">pond aerator</span></a>, BactiMax and Muck Digester can eliminate 1 to 2 inches of sludge each month.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<strong><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">AERATION</span></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Installing a lake or <span style="text-decoration-line: none;">pond aerator</span> in your pond will also decrease the muck at the bottom. Not only does oxygen keep your fish healthy, but it also helps keep the beneficial bacteria alive in the pond. Beneficial bacteria and enzymes are alive and need oxygen as well. Using a <a href="https://discount-pumps.biz/North-Star-Aerator.html" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #336699;">decorative aerator</span></a> prevents thermocline which is when the pond stagnates and creates layers. The lower layers are warmer and the upper layers are colder. The lower layers lack oxygen, and since that is where the beneficial bacteria is located, it is not a good environment to survive. A <a href="https://discount-pumps.biz/aerating-floating-fountains.htm" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #336699;">floating aerating fountain</span></a> will add oxygen back into the pond or lake and will help the beneficial bacteria live and consume all that muck!! Even if you want something more <a href="https://discount-pumps.biz/floating-pond-fountain-colossal.html" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #336699;">decorative</span></a> like a <a href="https://discount-pumps.biz/floating-fountains.htm" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #336699;">floating pond fountain</span></a>, this is also beneficial to the pond as it will still aerate.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<strong><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">MANUAL REMOVAL</span></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It is not easy to manually remove muck, but you can remove a good amount of it with the <a href="https://discount-pumps.biz/lake-rake.html" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #336699;">Lake Rake</span></a> and a wheelbarrow. This will improve the effectiveness of BactiMax and Mack Digester. By removing large debris form the pond bottom.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><span style="border: 1pt none; color: black; padding: 0in;">China Mark Moth -</span></b><span style="color: black;"> The tiny brown moth is the waterlily’s biggest pest. It is
nocturnal and lays eggs underneath the large floating leaves. After the eggs
hatch, the larva slices leaf pieces to make protective sandwiches. These larva
will burrow into any floating leaves or debris. Their cycle runs about 2 weeks,
so keep a close check for them throughout the growing season.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The mechanical control
method, better known as squishing, works well to control an initial outbreak —
fish just love the worms! Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), a <a href="https://discount-pumps.biz/algae-control-lakes.php">natural bacteria</a>, can
be used as a spray. Once ingested by the larva, it kills it but won’t hurt
people, pets or fish. If there is a severe infestation, the best remedy is to
remove all affected foliage close to the crown of the plant and destroy it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Several years ago, many
varieties of hardy lilies were susceptible to crown rot, a fungis disease. The
leaves on affected plants would turn yellow and curl up, and buds would rot
below the surface. The plant would die soon since the rhizome had rotten away,
leaving a stinky mess. Treatment was to completely soak the tuber in a
fungicide. Since the disease is highly contagious, the best option was to completely
remove the plant and destroy it. However luckily, this incidence and other
fungal diseases has decreased as less susceptible hybrids have been developed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">In addition to these natural treatments, it is always best to keep the body of water moving with a <a href="https://discount-pumps.biz/pond-lake-aerators.php" target="_blank">pond aerator</a> or <a href="https://discount-pumps.biz/floating-fountains.htm">pond fountains</a>.

ULTRACLEAR BARLEY PELLETS</span></h3>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The pellets are so easy to use. Cleaner and easier than the bales (and requires a lot less space than the unsightly bales). UltraClear Barley Pellets are 100% safe for fish, birds and plants.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 18.6667px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 2em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">UltraClear Barley Pellets are fortified with humic acid prior to the pelletizing process. Humic acid enhances water quality, water softening and balances out the effects of phosphate in the pond water.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 18.6667px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 2em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The slow decay of the barley pellets produce essential, beneficial bacteriaand enzymes that helps maintain clarity in the pond. The optimized pellet size offers maximum surface area for controlled decay. It is not a chemical. UltraClear Barley Pellets can be used during spring, summer and fall. So get a head start on controlling your <a href="https://discount-pumps.biz/index.php" target="_blank">pond environment</a>!!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 18.6667px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 2em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Apply 8 to 16 ounces per 100 gallons every 4-6 weeks or as needed. Doesn't get easier than that. No mess, no fuss!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">UltraClear Barley Pellets can be applied directly in the pond by hand and your <a href="https://discount-pumps.biz/pond-lake-aerators.php" target="_blank">pond aerator</a> will disperse it throughout the lake.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #444444;">Parts of submersed
aquatic plants are beneficial because it provides habitat for bugs and worms
and in turn this is food for fish and wildlife like reptiles and birds. Although
Filamentous algae has no direct food value for wildlife, as it dies off, the bacteria
and fungi from decomposition provides food for aquatic bugs. </span><span style="color: #707274;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

of <a href="https://discount-pumps.biz/pond-lake-weed-removal.html">weed removal</a> products on the market that can cut down and remove the weeds,
and it certainly makes the job so much easier. It is important to remove as
much as possible because many of these plants can regrow from fragments left in
the pond.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

For smaller ponds, a <a href="https://discount-pumps.biz/floating-pond-fountain-colossal.html">decorative pond fountain</a> will aerate as well but make a beautiful display while keeping the algae at bay!! For larger lakes that need aeration but want a larger water display, a <a href="https://discount-pumps.biz/Stainless-Steel-Pro-Series-Pond-Fountain.html">floating lake fountain</a> would be more appropriate.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What size weights to use for anchoring a <a href="https://discount-pumps.biz/floating-fountains.htm">floating pond fountain</a> or <a href="https://discount-pumps.biz/pond-lake-aerators.php">lake aerator</a>:</span></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqN77JAx9rlw_J96IS-Fr6yocGnJZsWuVMeJcrqAQPOMj8NUSJ5NN0Ycjlb_v0HxtrpDiU0YfyRldnH13puiJeFHfDINqxcnLB-vkASqg5vHJ5nxvObUEkwSvBTXL5tIZ459TsN-uI1_n0/s1600/DA20+3HP+230v.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="floating lake aerator" border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqN77JAx9rlw_J96IS-Fr6yocGnJZsWuVMeJcrqAQPOMj8NUSJ5NN0Ycjlb_v0HxtrpDiU0YfyRldnH13puiJeFHfDINqxcnLB-vkASqg5vHJ5nxvObUEkwSvBTXL5tIZ459TsN-uI1_n0/s400/DA20+3HP+230v.jpg" title="" width="400" /></a></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It is so important to follow these guide lines for anchoring a <a href="https://discount-pumps.biz/floating-fountains.htm">pond fountain</a> or <a href="https://discount-pumps.biz/North-Star-Aerator.html">decorative aerator</a> when using weights. If not done properly, the force of the motor can cause the unit to spin and pull the float down under the water, impeding the spray of the nozzle. Here is a chart of the minimum weight for each anchor according to the size of the <a href="https://discount-pumps.biz/floating-fountains.htm">floating fountain</a>.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Secure a 3/8" or thicker nylon anchoring line to each of the two attached eyebolts on the shaft of the unit, or thru the holes on each side of the float. Make sure lines
are long enough to extend outwards, 10 - 15 feet apart for pond fountains, for lake aerator 20 - 25 feet apart at a 45° angle to the pond or lake bottom.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Size of <a href="https://discount-pumps.biz/Kasco-VFX-Display-Aerator.html">display aerator</a> or <a href="https://discount-pumps.biz/floating-pond-fountain-colossal.html">decorative pond fountain</a>:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">1/3 HP - 20 lbs each</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">1/2 HP - 25 lbs each</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">3/4 HP - 25 lbs each</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> 1 HP - 35 lbs each</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">1.5 HP - 45 lbs each</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> 2 HP - 45 lbs each</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> 3 HP - 55 lbs each</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> 5 HP - 75 lbs each</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">At this point, your display aerator or pond fountain can be floated into position in your pond or lake. Once you have decided on a suitable location for the fountain to be placed, simply attach a boat anchor, concrete block, or similar weighted item to each of the two nylon lines. Once attached, place those anchors at the bottom of the pond
spaced appropriately for the size unit. </span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Watermeal is a very tiny rootless floating
plant. It is hard to see until it groups together, in a large mass on the
surface of the pond. Watermeal is often mistaken for Duckweed.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Watermeal is a native weed, and is invasive.
Duckweed and mosquito fern often grow together with watermeal. Just like any
other floating weed, if it is allowed to spread and cover the surface of the
pond or lake, it will deplete the oxygen and possibly cause fish kills.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Watermeal is not a necessary food source for
ducks, but they will often eat it. However the ducks can also carry it to other
ponds or lakes in the area.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The best way to get watermeal out of the body
of water is to use a large net with a long pole that has a float on it to scoop
it out. It is hard to rake it out because watermeal is so tiny, which makes it
difficult to remove. The <a href="https://discount-pumps.biz/lake-rake.html">Lake Rake</a> is the best option because it has the float
on it. That makes it easier to skim across the surface. To make it work better,
wrap the <a href="https://discount-pumps.biz/pond-lake-weed-removal.html">Lake Rake</a> with a dense netting, so that it works like a scoop.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The next best option is to install a <a href="https://discount-pumps.biz/floating-fountains.htm">floating pond fountain</a> or <a href="https://discount-pumps.biz/North-Star-Aerator.html">decorative aerator</a> in your pond. Both will aerate to put oxygen
back in the pond but also, push the watermeal towards the shore for easier
scooping.</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #707274; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Duckweed grows in dense colonies in quiet water, undisturbed by wave action. Usually there is more than
one species of duckweed inhabiting a body of water.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #707274; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Duckweed normally is an aggressive intruder of ponds and are often found mixed in with other unwanted weeds. If masses of duckweed cover the surface of the water, then oxygen is depleted<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and
fish kills will most likely occur. Therefore it is necessary to get control before they completely cover the surface of the pond.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #707274; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Submerged parts of
all aquatic plants offer habitats for several species of invertebrates.
These invertebrates are then used as food by fish and other wildlife species
(e.g. amphibians, reptiles, ducks, etc.). When the duckweed dies off, their

<span style="color: #707274; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Although the giant
duckweed is a native weed, it can be an aggressive invader of ponds and are often

consume duckweed and frequently transport it to other bodies of water. Thick duckweed colonies offer habitats for many species of invertebrates, but if duckweed
completely covers the surface of a pond for an extended period, it will cause
oxygen depletion. These colonies will also eliminate submerged plants by hindering sunlight penetration.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Cattails are swamp land plants that have flat narrow or broad
leaves, depending on the species and can grow to 3 or 10 feet in height. Flowers
form at the end of the leaves that look like hotdogs on a stick!! Cattails might be partially submerged or in boggy areas around the eadge of the pond water.
Cattails spread vigorously, because their seeds blow in the wind and are also
invasive because they spread through their root system called rhizomes along
the shallower edge of the pond.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

is very important if you decide to mow or cut your cattails. Cutting them in May will activate growth, so wait until late summer if you are only going to cut once.
If you raze the cattails below the water line two or three times a season,
very few cattails will grow back the following year. Your cutting will deprive the roots of their important food source and reduced the amount for
storage. Don't waste your time cutting in the winter, it will have very little effect on the food in the
roots of the plant.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Aquatic Weed Identification and Control Solutions</h2>
<h3>
As ponds are starting to thaw, and weather is starting to warm, it is important to consider getting ahead of <a href="https://discount-pumps.biz/pond-lake-weed-removal.html" target="_blank">weed</a> and <a href="https://discount-pumps.biz/algae-control-lakes.php" target="_blank">algae control</a> before it becomes unmanageable. Over the next couple of weeks <a href="https://discount-pumps.biz/index.php" target="_blank">Discount Pumps</a> will be posting many blogs. Each blog will identify a plant and offer ideas for natural control.<br />With 4 different categories of aquatic green life and many different types in each category, it is important to identify what you have in order to deal with it appropriately.</h3>
<h4>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #707274; font-family: proxima-nova, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16.8px;">Many ponds have more than one type of aquatic plant, and it is important to identify all the aquatic plants inhabiting the pond. Some pond plants may be beneficial to local or migratory wildlife, and therefore, may want to be encouraged or at least not eliminated. </span></h4>

The Weed Razer's unique design lets you throw it from dock, shore or boat; watch it sink to the bottom; cut a 49-inch-wide path; and retrieve it with its 25-foot rope.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Weighing under 8 pounds, the Weed Razer is light enough to throw 30' or more, yet heavy enough to sink to the bottom.

ULTRACLEAR BARLEY PELLETS</h3>

The pellets are cleaner and easier to use than the bales (and requires a lot less space than the unsightly bales). UltraClear Barley Pellets are 100% safe for fish, birds and plants.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18.6667px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 2em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
UltraClear Barley Pellets are fortified with humic acid prior to the pelletizing process. Humic acid enhances water quality, water softening and balances out the effects of phosphate in the pond water.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18.6667px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 2em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The slow decay of the barley pellets produce essential, beneficial bacteria that helps maintain clarity in the pond. The optimized pellet size offers maximum surface area for controlled decay. It is not a chemical. UltraClear Barley Pellets can be used during spring, summer and fall. So get a head start on controlling your <a href="https://discount-pumps.biz/index.php" target="_blank">pond environment</a>!!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18.6667px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 2em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Apply 8 to 16 ounces per 100 gallons every 4-6 weeks or as needed.</div>

UltraClear Barley Pellets can be applied directly in the pond by hand and your <a href="https://discount-pumps.biz/pond-lake-aerators.php" target="_blank">pond aerator</a> will disperse it throughout the lake.</div>

tied off to the shore. To anchor you will need nylon rope, 1/8” – 1/4” thick.
To anchor to the bottom of the pond, tie off ropes and drop blocks in opposite
directions of each other. Bring ropes up to the center and tie to the float or
the handle of the pump. This method will require entering the pond with a boat. </span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">If using the shoreline method, tie the ropes to the float or pump handle and
tie off one rope to one side of the shore. Mobile home anchors or dog tie
stakes work well for this. Set <a href="https://www.discount-pumps.biz/floating-pond-fountain-colossal.html">decorative fountain</a> in water, be very careful not to get
mud into the pump. The other rope can now be walked over to the other end of
the pond and attached to the stake. This method works well in smaller ponds and for <a href="https://www.discount-pumps.biz/mini-floating-fountain.htm">small pond fountains</a>. Your
fountain may look different than the illustration but the anchoring set-up is
the same</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">.<o:p></o:p></span></h3>

Benefits of adding <a href="https://discount-pumps.biz/pond-dye.php" target="_blank">Blue Pond Dye</a> and does it really work?</h2>

<div style="display: inline-block; max-width: 90%; text-align: left; width: 900px;">
UltraClear Blue Concentrate provides a beautiful blue tint for your lake or large pond! UltraClear Blue Concentrate is formulated to instantly dye pond water blue. This product also blocks sunlight and is an excellent tool for providing a pleasant visual appearance versus water with unsightly suspended solids floating in it.<br />
UltraClear Blue Concentrate is completely biodegradable. It is organic. It will be neutralized by many natural pond bacteria. This means that the blue color will dissipate within a month or two, depending on the particulars of the pond in question. Best of all, this means that there is no toxic or problematic build up from use of the product. This product is a great tool for pond enthusiasts.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<h4>
HOW DOES ULTRACLEAR ORGANIC POND DYE WORK?</h4>
The mode of action of this product is very simple. When used according to direction, a significant portion of sunlight is blocked. That means that the energy that most algae use for growth is limited. This product still permits the growth of some algae. After all, algae are a natural and required component of an aquatic system. However, a severe algae bloom is symptomatic of an environmental imbalance. This product is simply a tool to help restore the aquatic system to a natural balance.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIj-2dgg_ODRlZPWR3uynxu_LXmPvAYkd0y2yjvQ2ZzLZD6Ai8fsGA_xi0dLLQ6zjpFWTJRnWkJyRgWOTOoDz6rKPZFAn4HkebpXDPzOdIl30yNQ9OcPC43-lMREhG_BWEW0NUrCZjxt2O/s1600/ultra-blue-pond-dye.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIj-2dgg_ODRlZPWR3uynxu_LXmPvAYkd0y2yjvQ2ZzLZD6Ai8fsGA_xi0dLLQ6zjpFWTJRnWkJyRgWOTOoDz6rKPZFAn4HkebpXDPzOdIl30yNQ9OcPC43-lMREhG_BWEW0NUrCZjxt2O/s640/ultra-blue-pond-dye.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
IT ONLY TAKES ONE QUART TO TREAT ONE ACRE OF WATER! We poured just a very small amount into this pond so you can see the difference and how blue it makes the water. Also we poured it at the shore where the water is murky and it turned a vibrant blue.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When a <a href="https://discount-pumps.biz/floating-fountains.htm" target="_blank">floating fountain</a> or <a href="https://discount-pumps.biz/pond-lake-aerators.php" target="_blank">pond aerator</a> used, it will evenly distribute the pond dye around.</div>
<h4>
WHY IS ULTRACLEAR BLUE CONCENTRATE BETTER THAN COMPETING PRODUCTS?</h4>
First, our product is completely organic. It does not contain any metals, or biologically non-degradable dye. That means that there are no problems with toxic build up from continued product use.<br />
UltraClear Blue Concentrate is highly concentrated. That gives the user the best economy possible. And the high concentration is achieved without making the product dangerous to the user, animals, desirable plants, or the environment.<br />
<h4>
HOW SAFE IS ULTRACLEAR BLUE CONCENTRATE?</h4>
This product should be treated like any household chemical. That means keep it out of the reach of children, and use appropriate caution when handling the product. Use according to directions. As long as the product is used as designed, it provides excellent benefits (a beautiful blue color and reduced algae problems) without being dangerous in any way.<br />
