During one of our Pond Cleaning Services, Mark recorded this video, "How to clean a pond without draining it".
In this video, Mark, "The Pond Advisor", discusses pond vacuums. Explains the need for different attachments that minimises the risk of sucking up the rocks and gravel.
He also explains the need for a long enough pond cleaning net to reduce the time spent netting out the pond waste. If you have a huge pond and can't reach over halfway across the pond. Nothing is better than cleaning large ponds. Then a nice pair of chest waders.
In this video, we use a pond vacuum cleaner briefly. Drain and clean the traditional fish pond filter.
Also, as part of this pond cleaning service call, we show you how to cut your pond plants back.

After pond cleaning the pond is normally dirtier however after 24 hours it’s the same as before without all the organic waste or better. Clear water is all about balance. If you have brown, green, or black water, you need to clean the pond a little differently for each colour. Sometimes you can’t clean, clear it with out draining the water out.

Mark, I wonder if a TDS checker (a £10 one) would be a really good indicator on when to clean. As TDS is also raised by decomposing material, so if the pond water TDS is in your normal range then maybe it’s fine and balanced and managing just fine by itself even if a little dirty to our eyes?

@ThePondAdvisor

I would recommend an exploratory drain and clean, watch some of my pond cleaning videos. It’s like wet dredging a lake that’s full of sludge, garden ponds (with rubber liners) need more care, keep as much water as possible then remove the waste. Think about installing a proper skimmer like the one Aquascape Inc make (1000 skimmer, 8” door), these collect the leaves as they fall,

@ThePondAdvisor
@ThePondAdvisor 3 года назад
Green water is a sign of excessive nutrients in the water column. So how to get the water clear again is the correct filtration or the correct level of plants (natural wetland filtration) marginal or rafting plants out competing the algae for food. If you have a fish pool then chemical filtration in the form of Ultra Violet Light (UV clarifier).

I may even add watercress and elephant ears this year. I do have one more question... I left the moss on the fountain last year because I thought it was pretty. Should it be removed?

We are in the process or finishing our small wildlife pond build which has a small pump to run a rock waterfall. Having put some plants in the pond, a lot of sediment settled on the liner. The rocks are already starting to green up. Will a fine net catch this or do I need to do something else? No wildlife in the pond yet.
@ThePondAdvisor
@ThePondAdvisor 3 года назад
Do you have a mechanical filter? Have you seen my intake bay video, or the double pot method in one of my small wildlife pond showcases. If you don’t have a intake you become the mechanical filter (chasing waste around the pond). Yes we can supply you with a fine mess pan net! If your talking about a still water wildlife pond the look at more plants. This is better than a filter pump in the base of a pond! A safe form of mechanical and biological filter is better than a pump moving and smashing the aquatic life around.

I have just bought a new filter with uv. At the moment the water is very green with only around 2 inches of vis. Do I have to drain it and refill it or can I just put the filter in and let it do its thing? Cheers

Hi Mark, Thanks a ton for the video. Super helpful. I recently purchased a house that came with an oval pond, roughly the diameters are 20ft and 30ft. It is 6.5 ft deep. It used to be a koi pond and has a filtration mechanism for the water - Mechanical drum filter + Bio filter + UV filter. I do not have fish in it now, and do not intend to have any. However, as we get into spring, I noticed that a lot of algae started growing all over the bottom of the pond. Although the water is clear, it still looks murky due to the algae. Due to the depth and size of the pond, it's tricky to clean it properly. They grow quicker than I could clean them. I have been using algae brush, but it seems to be inefficient. I am wondering if investing on a reasonable pond vacuum would be a better idea. Or should I just get a pond rake. Would you mind throwing in your suggestion? Thanks a ton, Abi

Hi, I have a very big wildlife pond, it’s been left to go wild, but unfortunately it is surrounded by trees which drop large amounts of leaves every year, it doesn’t get much light, gets covered over by duckweed and is fully overgrown with Elodea, it definitely needs a good clean and probably a net to stop leaves falling in but it supports an important ecosystem, what do you suggest?

Same as the other video comment lol am I seeing double. You could always install a skim cover or intake bay.

What if the pond is 7 foot deep?
@ThePondAdvisor
@ThePondAdvisor 4 года назад
If it was 7’ deep it would be a pool or a very large pond. What do you mean, what if the pond is 7 foot deep? Even more of a reason to not drain it. Net out the waste with a 8’-16’ long handle net (more designed for swimming pools)

Got a steep-sided koi pond, almost 4 foot deep. Do I need to remove koi to holding tank. Will cheap paddle pool do? Some tosai sized. Also can u do vid on installing jets off a skimmer? Thx
@ThePondAdvisor
@ThePondAdvisor 5 лет назад
You should not need to remove your koi. It’s their a lot of waste on the base of the pond?
@ThePondAdvisor
@ThePondAdvisor 5 лет назад
Yes you can use a paddling pool, chemical free so you will be fine clean out and old water in the pool first then drain the pond water into the paddling pool. Remember to keep the water oxygenated

In the U.S. here. I never thought of using a small kiddie pool to transfer the fish and pond water into. Thought I was going to need to buy a large stock tank which would take up space to store. Thanks!

What if I have sand on the bottom of my carp pond? Should I remove leaves that sink to the bottom, every week with a pond net (filtering the sand clean), or should I leave them there for a longer time?
@ThePondAdvisor
@ThePondAdvisor 5 лет назад
Install a large surface skimmer, to remove the leaves before they sink. But if not remove them as soon as you can. Clean playpit sand is a ok substate for a koi pond.

Do yourself and others a huge favor and get maybe 1000 fresh water clams. They are only as big as my thumbnail but are constantly consuming all kinds of wastes. This is their only food. They will keep your water clean and feed small fish too. I have had my 9 Gold Fish for about 3 years and I have yet to feed them anything. I have no pump or filter and no bubblier, yet they are still alive, healthy and fit. The water is clear to the bottom as long as I don't let the water Hyacinths take over. Works for me!

Sound like you have a balanced system, we have had many problems with them in the UK 🇬🇧, I have tried and tried. Sound like the water hyacinths are also doing a great job. They are banned he in the UK

That was more like,"How to trim your pond plants". Cleaning your pond means,"Siphon vacuum dead leaves, uneaten food, fish waste, and roots bottom of the pond". *coughs* 🙄😏😌 There... Done and done! 😎😤

The Pond Advisor Thank you for responding. I wanted a price(s) for big waste water ponds - municipal ponds about 1200 sqm by size . It was a tender and the closing date was yesterday.
