Are you intending to build water features? Do you have problems with your water features? Do your garden pond fountains and pumps come up to expectations? Are your water features always clean clear and healthy with colourful fish and thriving plants?

The first point to bear in mind if you succumb to the temptation to add something to your pond is ...... you MUST know and know ACCURATELY the volume of water in your pond which includes the volume in the waterfall, filters (if large) and streams etc... in other words ALL the water in your system and not just the
pond.

You must then be able to measure the dose based upon the total volume and the instructions. This can be difficult for many because of poor instructions and mixed units on the container.

If in doubt ..... seek advice

Pond conditioner chemicals for removing chlorine and chloramines in fresh water being added to a pond are commonly available and sold in large amounts. In my opinion these chemicals are not really necessary but at least they do perform a specific function and do little harm.

Any chlorine in pond water will normally have disappeared naturally after short time.
