When it comes to keeping your pond or fountain looking its best, regular cleaning is key. At First State Ponds, we recommend a maintenance schedule that fits the specific needs of your water feature. Typically, a good rule of thumb is to clean your pond or fountain about once a month. This helps prevent algae buildup, keeps the water clear, and ensures your aquatic life stays healthy.

During your monthly clean, make sure to remove any debris, such as leaves or twigs, and check for any signs of algae or mold. For fountains, keep an eye on the pump and filters - clean them as needed to ensure proper water flow. If you notice any green or murky water, it's time for a deeper clean. You might need to use a pond vacuum to remove sludge and muck from the bottom, and consider adding beneficial bacteria to maintain a balanced ecosystem.

Remember, the frequency of cleaning can vary based on factors like the size of your pond, the amount of sunlight it receives, and the type of plants and fish you have. For personalized advice, don't hesitate to reach out to us at First State Ponds. We're here to help keep your water feature sparkling and serene!
