If you have a beautiful, landscaped yard with some picturesque water features, you probably are concerned with keeping these items clean and safe. There are several products out there can keep water clean and don’t use any harmful or toxic chemicals.
If you have a koi pond, it is essential that water conditions be well maintained. The AquaLily Flowered Water Cleaner is an idea option that is also a cute addition to your koi pond. Shaped like a lily pad with a flower on top, this cleaner contains all-natural bacteria which will keep water clean for your fish. Simply refill the cleaner each month, and the product will keep from five gallons up to 2,500 gallons clean.
AquaSpherePro is another option. This also uses safe bacteria to help keep water clean. The container itself is biodegradable, and every 30 days all you need to do is toss in a new sphere. You can opt for small packs for water up to 1,000 gallons or use a large one that will keep up to 12,500 gallons clean. If your pond or water feature is large, simply add extra spheres.
If you have a fountain, there are a couple of different products to consider. Healthy Ponds produces two different products. One is simply called a Fountain Water Cleaner and comes with dispenser and four bacteria refill packs. Every 30 days, you simply add a new pack and return it to your fountain. Helpful bacteria in the packs keep water safe for birds and other wildlife.
Blast is another product option, and this product speeds up the decomposition of unwanted organic matter in fountains, koi ponds and other water features. Blast can be used in conjunction with the AquaLily or the AquaSphere and is a great way to deal with seasonal temperature spikes. Healthy Ponds also produces a product for bird baths that will keep this water feature clean and free of mineral deposits, organic build up and stains.
Each of the aforementioned products uses a combination of healthy bacteria to keep water fresh and safe. Veterinarians have approved each of the products, and each is safe for pets and other wildlife, as well as for humans. Such a relief to not worry about having harmful chemicals around.
For several items, such as fountains, bird baths and rain barrels, it is recommended that you empty and clean these features prior to using these products for the first time. Simply empty, scrub with a brush and fill with clean water. Don’t use soap or cleaning products as these items can be harmful to animals. Once you have filled it with water, toss in your cleaner and then each month just add a new one. It is an easy, safe and effective way to keep these special water features clean.
