Green water is a constant battle with nature to stop single celled algae blooming and ruining our visual enjoyment of our pond or feature. Most feature owners will experience increased levels of green water during the summer when the pond water is warm. This is exactly the time when you would like to sit out and enjoy the view with a nice cold drink.

There are many ways to combat green water, unfortunately many solutions fly in the face of what you may be trying to achieve.
For example, filling the pond with plants may well reduce penetration of sunlight, thus starving the algae of the light
they need to reproduce and reducing the green effect. However, if your intention was to have a fish pond without visual
impairment, this may not be the solution for you.
There are many gadgets that promise clear water and deliver very little. Many products on the market may well stop the
green water issues. They may also incorporate heavy metals which do not only kill the algae, but plants, fish and other
pond inhabitants.
