A small pond on a personal plot will undoubtedly delight you with freshness and beauty in the summer. But such a reservoir needs constant care so that it does not grow up and did not begin to emit an unpleasant smell. Work on cleaning the reservoir can be done independently, the main thing is to know what and how to do and stock up on the right tool and materials. Here at the very day it will buy an Ilosos, HB gloves and other things necessary for work.
Where to start cleaning the pond? It is better to do plants first. Some plants require annual trimming or even transplants. In the winter, it is better to trim the herbs to a height of up to fifteen centimeters, so your pond will acquire a more neat view for the winter, and this pruning will not damage plants.
A very important point is to clean the bottom of the reservoir. As a rule, on the bottom of small garden reservoirs, a special film is laid. It is easy to damage and then the bottom will not become sealed. There is no need to explain what it is fraught with. But the bottom of the reservoir can be shed, then the pond will smaller, the water in it will quickly begin to bloom and an unpleasant odor will appear, and the water will be muddy for the color. This is not very aesthetic. Therefore, the bottom needs to be cleaned.
If there is no living creature in the pond, then this process is simplified. After all, the water can simply be pumped out, and the bottom is cleaned by handfully removing the upper and extra layer of silt. If necessary, the bottom can be visually examined and repairing the coating. But if fish, tadpoles or other living creatures live in your pond, difficulties arise. After all, to catch all the fish, fry and tadpoles are unlikely to be able to. Therefore, it is best to clean it with illosos. This device is automatic and mechanical. For a small reservoir, a mechanical device is best suited.
It works as a filter through which water is pumped, and silt and garbage from the pond remain in the filter. In addition to the mechanical method of cleaning the pond, there is also the so -called biological. This filter works completely different. The reason for the siltation of the pond and the turbidity of water may be excess organics. Especially in the fall, many leaves begin to fall into the pond, which rot in it. This method is the most natural and harmless for the inhabitants of the pond. Such a filter works, enhancing and accelerating the processes of decomposition of organics in the pond, and you need to choose the size of the filter by the size of the pond. And, of course, with such “dirty” works, gloves workers x b are simply necessary.
