Awesome, my pond goes green as soon as the weather starts to warm up. I'll be trying this next summer. Thank you!

You are a GENIUS!! We battled algae bloom all summer here in Michigan (USA) in 2015. We finally got clear water when we had a 3-day cold snap in mid-August. I am sharing this with all of my friends, plus the Pond Place in Milford, Michigan. I almost bought a $2500 UV light filter for our 8,500 gallon pond. Our pond was a pea soup green for most of the summer.

I don't own a drill but I am going to purchase one. I had string algae and what I was using is something that I rigged up. It was an extension pole with a women's round Bristle hair brush attached to it.

The advantage to a UV filter is that it kills pathogens. I was surprised too that a 10% water change kind of kicked my pond into gear this year. Your mileage may vary.

Yes a water change and a UV filter can really get rid of algae fast. How much water you change depends on how bad your algae bloom is

If your UV isn’t doing the job, then change the tube. Only works well for around six months. If I’m honest the pond if far from clear. 🤷🏼♂️

Not a bad idea. I had the same problem, I overcame it by pressing felt material (needle punch material which is stronger than the material you are using) between two large plastic baskets (the type one uses for water lily or lotus planting but with larger holes) and placed it at the end of filtration (suspended above pond water level ) in your case below the mouths of fish throwing the filter water in the pond. this is cost effective as it uses only one pump and the felt material can be removed, rinsed and used again for a number of times.

Hi All Some answers to questions and replies to other comments. The pump size is 2500 litres / I do Have UV 25 watt lamp in filter box / I do have air pump running. For those who seem so question if it works ?? It is a fairly cheap set up , small cheap 2500 pump/some hose /and some 15 denim ankle length stocking. I have noticed that the stocking does collect much more on sunny days and hardly any after a few dull days. Someone also mention why not put it under water , the answer is that you can see when stocking needs changing and it is easy to do on my set up. Best regards Tony

I agree every single Pond that has fish in it needs a UV clarifier and lots of aeration. These are essential Design Elements when creating any kind of pond that's going to have fish in it. You really need to aerate that water and the UV clarifier kills off the algae. When you have a lot of oxygen in the water the algae can't grow and fish love oxygenated water. The algae is bad for your fish to because it consumes high amounts of oxygen robbing it from your fish

@@williamwulffleff6829 activated carbon doesn't actually take out algae. So it does help take out a monias another harmful elements. But it's not going to kill off your algae. Barley straw works by creating hydrogen peroxide in the water which oxygenates the water. The real best answer for LG is a UV clarifier. Using light to kill the algae. Dies and gets trapped in the filter. And then your water is back to Crystal Clear. I use my UV clarifier every moment the filter is running. And only turn it off in winter

The water still doesn't look very clear! You need shade and more pond lilies. I have a rain barrel on the downspout of my house and a hose near the top of the barrel that runs into the pond. Every time it rains the overflow goes directly into the pond keeping the water clear.

I think it is easier to use some PH- (minus) to ajust the PH of the water which will prevent and also kill the algae in the basin. It is also less expensive and it is more natural that all those add on structures!

Algae feeds grow better and faster with a high PH of the water, therefore the trick is to lower the PH to cut the food sources. PH - (minus) is use in swimming pool the fix the PH before adding Chlorine thus rending the Chlorine more efficient. You can by PH - in any hardware store oe stores like Wallmart...
