Fun Pond Fact

UV Clarifiers used for clearing up that pea soup look in Fish and Water Garden Ponds don't actually kill the algae causing it.

In Fact, the algae small enough to pass by the UV light is made sterile by the UV Clarifier.
Belief it or not, most algae doesn't have a very long lifespan.
Algae reproduces extremely fast and that is why it is able to turn Pond water into what looks like pea soup.

Taking away the algae's ability to reproduce makes the battle a whole lot easier to win.

Reducing the amount of nutrients in your Fish Pond by using Beneficial Bacteria, Algaecides, and having Plant coverage over half to three-fourths of the surface water of the Pond all help reduce the chances of pea soup look coming back.
