Cleanouts are necessary to maintain a clear, healthy pond. Once cold weather begins, the beneficial bacteria that balances your ecosystem goes dormant. A large amount of muck & waste builds up in your filter & pond bottom. This causes ammonia spikes which are deadly to fish and causes large amounts of algae growth as the temperatures warm up.

As the pond service industry has evolved & gained experience, it has been discovered that cleaning the ponds earlier in the season (January – February) is by far better for the ecosystem, fish stress, and aquatic plants.

Why you need a pond cleanout

These are the top 3 reasons why completing an earlier annual pond cleanout in the winter benefits your pond

1. Ecosystem Boost

Coldwater Beneficial Bacteria starts colonizing early
Colonizing is a key component in a healthy ecosystem
If cleaned much later, this new colony will be washed away

2. Fish Health & Safety

Fish are still dormant, but not hibernating
Ideal time for fish movement & transport
Less active fish means a diminished chance of injury

3. Aquatic Plant Growth

Plants still dormant, so no damage to any new, emerging growth
Best time for fertilization
Plants will absorb fertilization sooner for an explosion of blooms at the start of season and throughout
