As the UV bulb ages, its efficiency drops and less UV radiation is produced, so it needs to be replaced ideally each year. With spring comes the return of the green water threat, so the pond’s ultra violet clarifier needs to be brought back into operation to counter the algae which cause it. Check your fish for any illnesses or wounds.Year round pond maintenance is important, and we have guides for Spring. In addition to the routine seasonal maintenance, the fish-keeper also needs to keep a particularly vigilant look-out at this time of year for the first signs of illness. However, bacteria and parasites will also be present in the water and will themselves be starting to become more active, which can pose a threat of disease, particularly to any fish which have been weakened by the strain of over-wintering. Spring is also one of the most difficult times for fish, which have been dormant throughout the cold and now need to adjust to the quickening rhythm of life as the water warms up. Equipment which has lain unused since the autumn needs to be prepared for the new season and the pond itself will probably benefit from a few final touches before things get underway in earnest. For larger ponds, YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FINISHING THE FILLING PROCESS AND PLUGGING IN THE WATERFALL PUMP (We have estimated your labor costs based on this assumption to keep your clean-out costs to a minimum).As the pond begins to wake up after its winter sleep a few simple jobs done at this end of the year should help get things off to a flying start as the weather warms up. If your water garden includes a pond with fish, upon finishing your clean out we will refill the pond with enough water to re-introduce your fish.Any requested water treatment products will be left for you. When all of this is finished, they will begin refilling the water feature (and re-introducing your fish if you have them).
