Did you know???
Over 80% of pond algae outbreaks are directly linked to excessive nutrient buildup—mainly nitrogen and phosphorus—from runoff and organic decay.
Algae blooms don’t appear out of nowhere—they thrive in ponds overloaded with nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus, often from lawn fertilizers, agricultural runoff, animal waste, and decomposing plant matter. When these nutrients accumulate, they create the perfect environment for algae to explode, choking out oxygen, harming aquatic life, and turning a clear, healthy pond into a murky mess. Tackling the root cause—nutrient overload—is the most effective way to prevent algae from taking over. Proactive nutrient management, like regular testing, the use of beneficial bacteria, aeration, and strategic vegetation control, keeps your pond in balance and algae in check.
